[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

Shiva barely noticed that she reached the outskirts of town by now, she was just walking around and watching the buildings and people of the town she grew quite fond of by now. Plusle has snuggled up to to his Master by the place on her right shoulder by now, servings as some sort of sparkly half scarf. Just another sign that when Shiva was not doing well, her own Pokemon are always there to provide comfort in whatever way seems fitting. That light somewhat got her though as she caught a glimpse of the corner of the eye on it, and something just dragged her there. Could be curiosity, a feeling that there was something special about it - her heart barely lies to her, again - or a desire to be distracted from her track of bad thoughts.

... Now this was droll. From her understanding, this was some sort of ceremony, whether a true magical one has yet to be revealed - it seemed like it was more for show effects though, from the look of the items they threw into their pot. Didn't matter, this all nicely caught Shiva's interest, while at the same time feeling like Ventus - let's hope he doesn't miss her or secretly worry for her too much, she knows how to take care of herself and promised to return unharmed when feeling a little better - would definitely hate or at least be very wary about this whole scenario.

She was rather delighted as it turned out these witchlike persons were no harm, and while Shiva would probably secretly enjoy to join whatever they were doing here, her call was requesting a FRIENDLY battle from them. It was a little suprising for herself that she felt the urge to ask for a fight on her own(!), but she was rather sure that some truely enjoyable yet not too easy challenge where Shiva is all free to chant for good fortune will do well on her, and canalize some of the remaining tension from the battle 'gainst Nathan in healthy paths, Like, the Umbreon was ready to punce every moment when she enetered battlefield, and even if she has been calmed and aided by Ven through the battle, the excitement over catching a prey won't just puff out into air.

Plusle got recalled after another scratch under his chin and "Thanks for the support and persormance on the battle before, dear one", and send out to the place were Braixen and Nightshade! The former raised himself to full high after his paws touched the ground, before eyeing the surrounding and curiously sniffing the air. Smelled like magic, like some sort of potion, were thes two women witches? He turned hs head to look at his Master, before giving her a sly and cautious smile, displaying that this was an interesting place Master brought him there, he'll gladly battle for her, and appreciated that one person with green tweed sweaters was not around. Cherubi on her part though, was visibly startled as she saw that vulture chick crowing to the sky - didn't Master promised to protect her from hungry bird Pokemon?! She indeed did so. "No need for overly worries, Nightshade! I'm there, I remember that I promised to not leave you for the birds - this will be a friendly enjoyable battle, but please still do your best, show that you're not inferior to the avians. Your battle partner will aid you."

Sweet, if Shiva wanted to withstand against a real Lampent - one of the rare Ghost Types she actually enjoyed, despite their sould-stealing nature in the moment of death - she'll have to concentrate. Quite a neat side effect was that she'll be distracted and  refreshed, so time to enjoy this battle!~ "Alright... Uhm... K, magical fox, chant for us please, and fire of a first Psybeam on the spectral lamp. You, Nightshade, seed both of your foes and seek protection from any fierly moves in your battle partner's bushy tail! His flames won't hurt you."


------------------
Accuracy Roll Leech Seed1 on Lampent: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 1 reduced Accuracy - 2 actions = 5 D6
Accuracy Roll Leech Seed2 on Vullaby: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 1 reduced Accuracy - 3 actions = 4 D6
Effect: Roll 1 dice of Damage at the end of each Round, restore HP accordingly.

Accuracy Roll Lucky Chant: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 1 Perform - 2 Actions = 4 D6
Effect: No Crits for the foe, ignoring (1)(1) for me during the whole scene! Good things happen at Storyteller's discretion.
Side Effect: Nicely calms Shiva's nerves. Vullaby or the witches enjoy as well?
Additional note: If Lucky Chant fails here, use it again instead of the following:

Accuracy Roll Psybeam on Lampent: 3 Dext + 2 Fight + 3 Channel - 3 Actions = 5 D6, Crit Chance
Damage Roll: 2 Strenght + 2 Power of the move, no STAB until further evolution = 4 D6
Additional note: 1 CD to confuse the foe.


Witchy Battle for regain vigor Round 1?

Lampent can have Flash Fire or Flame Body, but from the circumstances - it heating up a cauldron and probably helping on hatching the egg Vullaby originates from - I'd carefully guess for the later. It being immune to Fire Damage due to Flash Fire would be hard when I said I'll battle with i.a. Braixen. ._. Maybe Lucky Chant discretly reveals which ability the spectral has?
