You duck down, cursing under your breath. You hope that cough didn't just mess everything up, but it doesn't take long for the Skuntank to spot the skulking rogue hiding in the undergrowth. Her horse is still admiring its handiwork on the fox lady. With a big smile the anthro Pokemon calls out to you.
"Well I'll be damned. It must be Christmas, 'cause I just found myself another adventurer to shake down. Stay right there, unless you wanna end up like ma other mark here." She points over her shoulder to the unconscious fox woman. "You might think of running, but rest assured I can go a whole lot faster thanks to my equine friend here. And she really works up some gas when she's gotta chase someone down."
Her little monologue gave the stench in the air time to dissipate, allowing your head to clear. [-10 to knockout meter] Your adventure only just started, you couldn't let her take all your things already. Both the Pokemon and her mount seem versed in knockout farts. You know that an up-close encounter will be a short one. Range is your only ally. You had to keep your distance at all costs. You see two ways out, and both are a gamble.
You could climb up into a tree. With superior agility you might have an advantage over the smelly robber. You're also quite certain her horse can't climb, allowing you to even the playing field. You'd not seen the Skuntank in action, meaning you had no clue how agile she was yet. Alternatively you could bolt into the undergrowth. She might be faster in a straight line, but with your agility you could duck through the narrow passages and vanish into the woods before she catches you. With the Skuntank getting ready to strike it's now or never.
