With that, you break off into a sprint for the exit, free of those rotten hell-raising Gibles. Grashglik is left to deal with the horde, the cavern slowly falling to pieces around him.
But as time wages on, it becomes evidently clear to the assassin that even he himself isn't enough to dispose the batch, the nest is bigger than he thought, and with every one slain, two more arrive to take their place.
Grashglik grunts and tries to keep calm, continuing his massacre in spite of the scales tipping out of his favor. One unlucky strike, however, nearly seals his fate, and has him cornered by the massive swarm.
"TAKE DOWN!"Fortunately, he isn't alone.
Out of the blue, Halberd rushes into the scene, saving the android from ruin and overwhelming the pack with a mighty Take Down attack. Taking the recoil damage with pride, he stands back-to-back with the droid, both focusing on the swarm surrounding them, and the sneaky stones that prevent their escape.
"You know, you're free to go as well, anytime you want,"
"I've told you already,
I'm not leaving without the spice. I'll go the ends of the Earth for it if I have to."The leader of the bunch arises at that moment, a fearsome Garchomp that has no right to be as huge as it is. It roars alongside its pint-sized followers, ready to cause some real gangster shit, "GAAAAAAAAAAARRRRR!"
"Sure hope you can keep up then,"
Without another word, they throw themselves into the swarm.
