[Game Thread] Pokerole Mystery Dungeon: Primal Shadows

[Dragonstrike]

AHAHAHAHAHAH, victory!!1 Once things have tuned down, Ziggy Kee wastes no moment and rushes over to the now unconscious Zoroark. He's carefully at first sniffing on her, then giving her a gentle nudge with his nose, then finally a soft head-bonk. His head turns so his deep-red eyes are fixating Machamp, a somewhat worried glance in them. "She'll be okay, now will she...? Please tell me she will now that these dumb shadow-y stuff has left her, Machamp..."

"Oh, and can ya tell WHAT DAFAQUE has actu'lly happened to ya? Did she do anythin' to ya, have ya seen her b'fore already?? She's been acting freakingly strange...!" Every hair of Kee's fine fur seems to brim with curiosity and interest as his bushy tail starts to wagg.

"I think Zoroark will be fine.  Probably.  I don't know what happened to her exactly, but whatever you kids did, I have a feeling it worked.  As for what happened to me...well, she kidnapped me, obviously.  Was going on about how 'the whole town would be hers thanks to this plate' or something like that.  Definitely didn't seem like her usual self."

"Oh, do I know her?  Yeah, of course I know her!  She's one of the regulars in Sahra Town!  Lives there and everything.  She's a trickster, but far from malicious normally."

Eventually, the fiendess slowly adverted her gaze from Zoroark, looking around the room tiredly for something else to focus on, right before he gaze landed onto the poor Zorua she literally scared stiff. A strange whim suddenly overtook her, and out of a total lack of other feeling or reason against she decided to head it, walking right over to it, looming over its Fainted form. Then, with surprising gentleness, Pyra picked them up in both claws, looked them over blankly, and attempted to give them a strong but not rough shake. If you asked her why she was trying to wake up the fox kit she badly spooked, she wouldn't have an answer - she just felt like it, and so she did.

It doesn't take long for the Zorua to stir after Pyra starts shaking them.  "...mmmmm...just 5 more minutes mom..."

They open their eyes.  Blink.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!"

They start struggling and attempt to wiggle out of Pyra's grip.  Does Pyra let them go or try to hold on?

Things get really dangerous pretty quickly. He see the wave of darkness coming at them. Kogeki launch a bit in the front of the group, trying to defend them against the darkness. But Machamp thankfully protect everyone from the last attack, shielding everyone.

When the tremble subside, Kogeki open the eyes and he see Machamp a bit bruisie but most okay. Kogeki cross his arms and then tell Machamp. "Just doing our job. We are adventures after all. Speaking of property...yes, have interest in the property. Problem is, we give most of the money we had at the time to Zoroark thinking it was you. She trick us."

"Hopefully she have our money, but I very doubt. I will check if Zoroark is still under the effects of that darkness...and see if she or her children have our money. And of course, make sure they are unconscious to avoid more problems."

"You can talk with my companions if you need any more information Machamp. Excuse me."

Kogeki then separate from Machamp for a second, getting close to Zoroark and her Zoruas. He will indeed check the fall enemies if they carry something with them and make sure they stay unconscious. And drain a few Auras in the process.

Action: Check the falling enemies and see if they have something interesting. And Drain their Auras without Machamp notice.

"Oh, she duped you too, huh?  Well, tell you what, I'll build what she promised you at a discount in exchange for saving my hide.  Half off sound good?  And I'm pretty sure she's stashed anything she's stolen around here somewhere, so if she took your money, it's probably here."

Kogeki does indeed find the money they paid 'machamp' with on Zoroark, in a bag she's wearing around her hip.  He also finds a piece of loose black fur that seems to shimmer and change colors in the light.  Kogeki can add 1 unit of Zoroark fur to his inventory.

Kogeki's Stealth: 4d6
(6)(5)(3)(2) 2 succcesses

Machamp's Alert: 7d6
(3)(3)(2)(1)(1)(1)(3) 0 successes

Marcus's Alert: 4d6
(6)(6)(6)(3) 3 successes

The sound of one of the now conscious Zorua that Pyra is holding screaming in terror is particularly distracting, so Kogeki is able to do his thing to the unconscious Zoroark unnoticed by the large fighting type.

Marcus notices, however.

"Wait, Kogeki, what are y-"

But by the time he has, Kogeki's already kneeled down in front of the large fox and started his vengeful practice.  Zoroark convulses and cringes, trying to subconsciously scream but unable to.

As Kogeki holds his bone decorated paw out and exerts his influence, a shadow leaps from Zoroark's body to Kogeki's hand, enveloping it.

Kogeki suddenly finds himself in the same situation Zoroark was just in as she goes quiet and slips into unconsciousness once more.  The riolu cringes as his muscles tighten involuntarily and the shadowy energy seeps into his bones.

Kogeki's Primal increases to 1. (no increases or decreases anywhere else)

Kogeki learns Shadow Blitz! 

Accuracy: Dexterity+Fight+Brawl
Damage: Strength+1

Kogeki collapses to his knees as Karen and Marcus run over to him, looking quite worried.

"Kogeki!!  Are you okay!?"

"What the heck just happened to you?  What did you do?"

Kogeki feels this urge to feed more, to drain more auras, but he's also completely exhausted, barely able to move. The rush of power felt amazing at first, but that shadowy energy...it felt like it was simultaneously draining his energy as well, eating away at his sense of self.

When he looks at his paw, though, he can see a slight aura of shadow enveloping it. As if it's now a part of him.

And he has a feeling he can use it as a weapon, a new move to smite his enemies with.
