Group Battles - Group A

Boss Noir shrieks in pain as yet another dark energy blast strikes it. It is forcibly dragged back into the portal that it came from, which snaps closed, stranding the minions on this side.

Honedge hovers close to Holly and Rei, more than ready to strike down Dusclops #3 if it awakens.

Sleep: BkUzrDGe1d20

Dusclops #1 tries to hex the little Deino.

Hex AC 2 vs 1d20
Damage: 4d10+34

~~New Round~~
Holly takes out one of the potions given by Zoey and applies it to her wounds.

Zoey recalls her weakened Deino and hurls her own spiky sphere of dark energy at the Dusclops that nearly took it out.

Night Daze AC 3 vs 1d20
Damage: 4d10+19

The remaining Dusclops is quickly taken apart by the group's combined efforts.

The party earns 825 Poke XP and a Milestone.1d20·1d20·4d10+34·1d20·4d10+19

Holly shrugs. "I guess so?"

Zoey seems both excited and worried at the same time. "Ohmygosh, Holly, are you okay?!" She asks rapidly. Holly reaffirms to both of her companions that she's alright.

Rei may be knowledgeable about ghosts, but occult rituals are beyond the scope of her training. All she can infer from examining the ritual area and altar/portal gate (which is thankfully broken and unusable now) is the obvious: they were attempting to summon something powerful. It worked, but it took their lives/souls as payment for summoning it (or possibly to empower itself?). There appears to be a large tome sitting on the altar, but it's written in a language that Rei is unfamiliar with.

After heading downstairs and picking up a few random, discarded items from who knows how long ago, the girls find themselves in a long hallway. From the ceiling suddenly drops a small group of bat-like Pokemon called Gliscor. Zoey thinks they're cute, and that it's a shame to beat them up just because they're hostile. Holly drops into a combat stance, Honedge held in front of her. Zoey fishes through her shoulder bag and pulls out a new apricorn ball. She tosses it and out pops what looks kinda like a tiny knight made of metal. Zoey calls it 'Pat', and the Tome says its species is Pawniard.

Zoey giggles and begins to exude literal darkness from her body while bouncing on the balls of her feet. Zoey spent 2 AP to activate World of Darkness as a Standard Action. She uses Splash as a Shift Action to make herself even harder to hit.

World of Darkness: You create a zone of Shifting Darkness in a Burst 2 around you, which persists until the end of the encounter. All targets without Darkvision attacking from or into the Shifting Darkness receive a -3 penalty to Accuracy.

Holly does what she does best: charge into battle.

The Gliscor that Holly struck flinches from the hit, taken aback by how easily she sliced through its tough carapace. The remaining four swarm the party, screeching loudly.

Pat is taken down, then Shinpuru wastes one of the remaining Gliscor. The badly beaten remainder is quickly dispatched by Honedge with a flourishing strike.

The party earns 225 Poke XP.

Rei decides to go with the same pokemon she did for the early ones! Piesc comes out once more and strikes a battle pose!
