[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Spoiler

The smol fae is not the only one mortified by her 'serendipitous' tumble, as it manages to drag Pyra out of her grim battle fervor to gap at them with stunned worry for a split second after roasting the big bag spider. What in the fiery abyss' name - how in the hell did that happen ? That was sort of thing she expected out of the Litwick and Kee at his clumsiest, not her considerate and caution Fairy friend. Is this the fault of some sort of passive curse manifested from that half-melted spirit? If it is they'll certainly get a crash course in learning how to reign in their spiritual/necrotic energies -

Suddenly she felt a brief sense of sharpness punctured her arm, causing her to startle minutely before she stiffening from the subsequent and almost equally sudden feeling of her blood thickening and a sickening nausea spreading throughout her body.

Almost instantly, she realized what happened. In her lapse of attention, one of those Spinarak fucking Poisoned her.

Pyra did not like that. She did not like that one iota of a bit.

A unearthly snarl ripped through her throat as she rounded on and lunged at the weakest $*&^#@! of a spider with extreme remarkable haste, clamping down on it hard and thrashing it about in the air with violence just a hair shy from being murderous before releasing her grip and slamming it chitinous body into the ground hard. 

That Spinarak was now very, very Fainted.

Only sparing the briefest moment to confirm that fact, she jerked her head towards the other fucking spider and let out another snarl at it, this one bubbling with the sort of unholy malice reserved for those special few that have well and truly earn her ire. The thoroughly incensed imp would've immediately shown exactly what that entailed were it not for Karen's timely intervention, allowing it to scuttle away with its conscious and body unsullied. 

Lucky lucky you, dear little Spinarak you.

At that point Pyra swiveled towards the disturbance with fully bared teeth, her eyes mere pinpricks of indignant ferocity and another snarl on the cusp of her lips, looking ready to tear into whatever tried to distract/ambush her.....

Then a second later she recognized who was coming to her - Karen, Dear Karen - and instantly calmed, her eyes shifting back to normal and expression turning surprised then receptive (if worried).

"Karen!"

She meets them halfway, stumbling only a bit as she did so. Quickly she welcomed them with a brief hug before letting them speak their concerns, looking thoughtful for a second before lightly smiling back to them consolingly.

"Fine, fine. I am fine and good, Dear -"

It was then that Exhaustion from her strenuous determination kicked in, her body no longer repressing it now that the threat against her and her own had passed. Coupled with her Poisoned state the fiery demoness almost swayed and slumped into her sparkling sprite before she caught herself, her eyes losing focus until she stiffened from surprise of that happening (What was that....?) . She shook her head lightly, trying her best to clear it and dispel that feeling, then looked again at Karen, this time a touch more reservedly.

"...Tired, very tired, but fine. Nothing that Dojo Master Poliwrath can not fix and avail we-me-us from, when we leave and depart from this most wretched den of insects. So do not worry and fret about me, okay please my Dear Karen....?"

.....Karen probably has a lot to process from these.....latest scenes from Pyra. Hopefully they were not too freaked out by it all, or at least won't hold it against the lil' fiendess for too long.

Karen's frowning worriedly at Pyra's response.  "Well, you obviously don't sound or feel fine, so let's get you to Poliwrath ASAP.  It's a good thing this is just training and not a life threatening scenario."

There's definitely a bit more to that statement than immediate concern for Pyra.  She doesn't elaborate further, instead looking over her shoulder at the glowing circle of light, then back at the rather imposing Devimp, trying to determine what to do.

"Can you walk on your own?  I don't think I can properly support your weight since you're much...much taller than me...I think my Life Dew should still be in effect, though, so I think that should help keep the Poison at bay at least for a little longer.  I don't see any other way out of this room, so I guess we just have to stand in the circle of light?"

During this conversation, Lumia is a respectful distance away in a darker corner of the room, waiting for some indication of what to do next.
