[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

By the time Nohface decided to retreat Pyra had worked herself up to a near frenzy again, chomping at the Pokebit and ready to pursue after the Nohface and finish it off. So Marcus' denial of such earned him a face full of scowling demoness as she rounded on him, the full brunt of her almost alien and Intimidating Stare.

"No. Nothing that uses The Darkness should be allowed reprieve. The Bat Lord can wait - we must find and end that wretched creature before it can recover. If you don't wish to, I'll do it by myself."

(Possible Intimidation Check here, maybe?)

The sheer intensity and coherence of her words should be a major warning sign to everyone that this Encounter has majorly upset her well beyond her usual tolerances and previous outbursts. Already she looked like she was ready to walk past the bones craftsmon and chase after the beastly spirit, with only the brief mention of Kogeki giving her pause long enough for anyone to get a word in edgewise against her....

Pyra's Intimidate: (6)(1)(1)(3)(1) 0 Successes
Marcus's Will: (6)(2)(1)(2)(3)(2)(5) 2 Successes

It's not that Pyra's Intimidation attempt doesn't have an effect.  Marcus does wince a little when Pyra scowls at him, visibly hurt to be the target of such aggression, but the Cubone stands firm.  He calmly lowers his bone weapon, and his response is very measured, calm, and Logical.

"If you all want to go after that creepy pokemon, by all means, I'll follow you.  But this is going to need to be a group effort.  That bat's clearly up to something, and he apparently didn't need much time to do whatever it is if he was only telling that Nohface to stall us, not stop us.  I suspect the Nohface is retreating to rejoin him, having finished its task.  If we go after it now, we're probably going to run into its master too, and I doubt such an encounter would end well for us.  If you go alone, even less so.  And if you walk down that tunnel to the next floor of the dungeon...well, there's no turning back."

Marcus also has a question, however.

"This...Darkness...what is it?  Do you know something about what kind of attack that was?  I've never seen anything like that before."
