Swiftfire: (1)+4 = 5 Swiftfire gets the upper hand, clattering over to the sand before Delibird reaches its roost in the tallest rock. This will serve her well.
Delibird: (2) + 3 Dex + 0 survival = 5

"Let's see what you got, Nathan!" He flips the CarnyCoin back to you. Zamboni takes a stance in the highest bleachers - for most of the battle, he is running up and down the stairs, or around the outside of the room, or getting right up close to the action to give commentary, advice, and orders.

Zamboni vs Nathan Round 1

"It's the first round, so the time to leave your roost is....NOW!"

As Ponyta's charge brings her in range of Delibird's attack, the bird pops out of a cranny in the tall rock. Surprise!

"Ha! That's it for Round 1! Good luck, Nathan!"

Zamboni vs Nathan Round 2

Swiftfire melts a trail in the ice as she charges toward Delibird. She stops short, skidding quite a bit, and launches the flames into the air the remaining distance to Delibird's roost.

"Caw?" At the last minute, Delibird leaps away and takes to the air.

Flame Charge
Acc: Reduced by 1 from pain penalization
(5)(6)(4)(1) Three successes.

Evasion:
3 Dex + 3 Fight + 1 Evade - 2 multiple actions = 5 dice

The flames clip Delibird as it flies away. You can see it frowning in concentration as it soars through the fire.

Dmg: 5d6+1, - 3 vit (you forgot stab)
(6)(5) Delibird takes 3 damage. Four hp remain.
Ponyta's Dexterity goes up by 1.

On the other side, Delibird pauses in the air and raises its wings, opening its beak to let out a strange note of music. Power emanates from the bird and soaks into the icy field, especially where Swiftfire has melted it. Pointy Spikes begin rising out of the ground at random, and retreating to lurk unnoticed until the moment is right.

Spikes
3 Dex + 3 Fight + 2 Canalize -3 action -1 pain = 4 dice
(4)(4)(1)(1) It's a close thing, but that's a success.
