[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

Vilucard gives the riolu a very curious look when the small pokemon says he doesn't remember much about his past.

And an even more curious look when Kogeki both offers blood so that they may pass to fight Machamp and talks about fighting the darkness within.  The bat raises a wing to cover the lower half of his face as he prepares to make a move...

"I do not think you understand exactly what is at stake here, small one.  Nor do I think our goals are aligned."

Suddenly, faster than anyone can react, Vilucard has spread his wings and retreated away from the party, almost floating backwards towards the path to the next floor.  He raises a clawed paw up.  "As much as I would love to sample how you all taste, I do not have any more time to spare to play with you, so I'll introduce you to my new friend instead."

He snaps, and something comes barreling out of the shadows towards Kogeki at the signal!

Stealth: (6)(4)(5)(2) 3 successes
Alert: (3)(2)(1) 0 successes

Kogeki feels a rough tongue graze him without warning, causing him to involuntarily shudder.

Lick Ambush
(4)(1)(3)(2)(5)(4)(4)(3)
(6)(4)(1) Kogeki takes 3 damage 2/5 HP -2 Pain
(4)(4)(3)

The small pokemon that attacked then retreats slightly, sitting obediently between the large bat-like pokemon and the party, tensed and ready to lunge at a moment's notice.  They only stand at half a meter tall, but small; unblinking red eyes stare at the party from within a shadowed hood of fur adorned with small horns, creating a very unsettling image for an otherwise innocent looking creature.



As Kogeki stares at the pokemon, it almost seems to look...familiar somehow.  He can't quite put a finger on why, though, and Vilucard doesn't give him much time to contemplate that feeling further.

"Nohface, stall them.  I have an appointment with the Dark powers ahead that I must attend to, and I do not desire unnecessary distractions.  And to you, children, this is my last warning.  Turn back now, or face the wrath of things that you cannot possibly understand.  Farewell for now."

Vilucard turns, his cape-like wings billowing behind him as he enters the tunnel and vanishes into the darkness that leads to the next floor of the dungeon while the Nohface readies for battle.

Marcus readies up once the shock has worn off.  "Well, that's certainly ominous sounding.  I guess we're going to have to force our way through and chase after him!"

Hoopa just continues to shake his fist at the fleeing vampire.  "I knew that he was gonna be up to no good!  Let's tear through this minion of his and pursue!"
