[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[Lord Windos]

Spoiler

Oinari barks confidently, but she is also whining as you get closer and closer to the sound of that scuttling. 

Suddenly, Frillish looms out of the darkness ahead, like a greenish blue jack o lantern on an unlit night.
It fades away.

Then another appears, with a more twisted grin. It fades.
More. Three more. Half a dozen more, including a male and female Jellicent like the most swollen, grimacing pumpkins imaginable. 

As they flash in the darkness, there is still a space they fail to illuminate. A form limned in negative space, a scuttling, scrabbling form. It has a bulky, bipedal shape, with a thick spiraling attachment. And two pairs of eyes, glowing only when the leering Frillish are nearby. 

This eerie crowd is blocking the way forward.

To say that was startled or scared by the sudden mob of deep sea/water Ghosts would be.....a lie. He had been expecting exactly this sort of trouble to appear at some point quite literally, as the Chasm Underground, its impenitrable Darkness, and winding labyrthtine passages screamed 'Horror Movie Ambush Be Here Somewhere!' Terra may be dense with many a thing, but he's not completelyblind to such an obvious situational foreshadowing.

Expression grim as death, twice as severe, and harder than admantantium, the sagely monk calmly walked to the forefront of the group and glared at the assembly of spirits barring them here.

"Leave us alone. Now. You are not the monsters here."

When the Frillish/Jellicent flash fades away and they light up again, they would see that Oinari and Mikey standing in front of their partner, staring them down with their own brand of challenging menace. If its possible, then Oinari uses the moment of Darkness prior to her 'reveal' to Illusion herself into the form of Calam (She's saw him before, remember!) for extra Intimidation points! Mikey would just smack one clawed fist into another to get his point across: don't mess with this mushroom.

If the Jelly squad has kept the area 'lit' sense they fully grouped up, though, then instead Mikey springs froward and over the group to face off against them like a total boss, and Oinari starts bristly and floofing up mostly in anger (but with a smidgen of fear too), making herself appear bigger and badder than ever!

"We are. Beware."

Orders: Attempt to Intimidate the Jelly Squard + Unknown Terror into just leaving, or at the very least throw them off their game a little! Probably not going to work, but hey, worth a shot! His Intimidation Roll is 15D6, as it always is! In the likelihood that Intimidation totally fails, then Oinari and Mikey will be his choices for battle! No matter how spooky they are, Terra and his partner's aren't about to be scared by some Ghosties - more like they'll be the ones cowed, hopefully!
