Claudia nods. Her stomach lets out a sudden gurgle and she opens her eyes wide. She reaches down, patting the front of her dress, and her cheeks flush pink.
"A-as you say," She finally says, looking away. "What do you plan to do with this place?"
Above, the sky is bright and clear--after noon, certainly, but not too far into the after.

" Not sure yet. We'll probably want to build a shelter to keep out the critters, maybe a bed or two. We'd need to find some building supplies of some kind to make that happen though. For now, sounds like someone feels lunch is in order." Ravio chuckles as he takes out some of his assorted edible plant matter. " No objections here," he says, handing the girl some of the newfound fruit. Food Scrap: 300 for Rav, 300 for Claudia. –After lunch– " Well, looks like there's some time left in the day. We might as well see if there's anything that-a-way," Ravio suggests, pointing westward. "I haven't checked that way yet, and figure we should know the neighborhood. No sense in wasting daylight." Assuming Claudia agrees to follow, Ravio will do much the same as before. Head west, parallel to the cliff face, while marking trees, until finding something of note, or until two hours have passed.

The girl accepts the fruits. She frowns down at them for a moment, opening her mouth to say something, before she closes it. After a few long moments, she puts a berry into her mouth--and her expression splits into surprised delight not long after. "This is...good.." She says with a small tone of wonder in her voice. She devours the rest, licking the juices from her hands.
She spends the rest of the time in relative silence, seeming unusually deep in thought for a child as young as she is. She'll nod at Ravio's question, though, and follow after him well enough.
They walk for nearly an hour before the trees begin to thin, the air growing brighter as the canopy over head is broken by open space that sunlight streams down from. Ahead of them, they can make out a brightly lit sea of green, but not many more details than that. What's more bothersome, though, is the strange silence that begins to follow them as they walk--growing more and more noticeable as the sounds of wildlife don't return...

" Hm. Though I've been startled by many noises in my life, the sound of silence can be very... disconcerting." Ravio looks around the area from where he stands before saying, " Perhaps we should turn back." He turns to leave. Will walk back to the clearing, assuming nothing happens.

7SXvvNi03d6 Does Claudia notice anything...? 3d6+2 - Gothita 4d6+1 4d6+1 4d6+1 Claudia frowns, looking around at the lack of silence, but slowly nods. "As you'd like," she says after a moment. Her brow furrows, just as her small partner stops in place, squinting and glaring out into the trees around them. "...Goth..." She murmurs quietly, before her eyes open wide. "GOTH!" She shrieks, pointing into some trees. Claudia spins to follow the pokemon's point--and only having it pointed out makes her notice the dark eyes that peer at her from a great, serpentine body. "...Ravio," She hisses, hands fisting at her sides. She licks her lips. "We're being watched." 3d6·4d6+1·4d6+1·4d6+1·4d6+1

Ravio cringes at the sight of the snake. In a quiet, frightened tone of voice, he says, "...fa-a-aantastic. ...Ropes aren't herbivores, are they?" With shaking hands, he gets his bow off of his shoulder. Quigley hovers near the purple man, much better at concealing his fright.

While he doesn't want to provoke any needless violence, Ravio has no problem with using other methods of self-defense. He approaches the snake until he is 6 meters away, then uses Sweet Kiss, trying to confuse his potential foe by being friendly! Quigley follows his master, moving in to Growl at the creature, should it approach any allies! Didn't want to make a token that didn't match things, so I just put a purple square in the space Ravio moves to. Le Initiative: Quigley: 20 Ravio: 18 (15 Speed + 3 from Dynamism) Le Moves: Ravio used Sweet Kiss! | AC: | WamgLGmr1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 6 + Target Evasion | Type: | Fairy | Frequency: | Scene x2 | Damage Category: | Status | Range: | 6, 1 Target, Social | Effects: | The target is Confused. On miss, the target suffers a -2 penalty to Accuracy Rolls for one full round. |
Thanks to Push Buttons and Demoralize, this leaves the Seviper Confused, Vulnerable, and lacking a tick of HP! Quigley used Growl! | AC: | 1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 2 + Target Evasion | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage Category: | Status | Range: | Burst 1, Friendly, Sonic, Social | Effects: | Lower the Attack of all legal targets by -1 CS. |

Initiatives! Quigley - 20 Ravio - 18 Serviper - 11 Gothita - 10 Claudia - 7
Quigley's growl lowers Red's attack by -1 CS! Red takes a tick of damage, is confused, and is vulnerable from Ravio's attack. Red's Confusion Check - 8NHxauca1d20
On a success, Red slithers forward and lunges at Claudia with teeth bared! 1d20 Bite vs AC 2, 2d6+20 Dark, Physical Blue appears from the underbrush and strikes at Quigley! 1d20 Bite vs AC 2, 2d6+20 Dark, Physical Green appears from the underbrush! It strikes at Gothita! 1d20 Bite vs AC 2, 2d6+20 Dark, Physical Gothita shifts! Green gets an AoO! 1d20 vs AC 4, 1d8+18 Gothita uses Uproar! 1d20 vs AC 2 1d8+21 -> Green takes two injuries! Claudia spends 2 AP and activates World of Darkness! All attacks aimed into or out of her aura take -3 to hit! She disengages!
Quigley's and Ravio's attacks leave the snake pokemon reeling--and it doesn't respond in the next few seconds, blinking hard and wavering in place. It still doesn't move as another pokemon, identical in appearance, slithers out from behind the tree and lunges at Quigley! It strikes true, sinking teeth into the bird. A third of the creatures lunges at Gothita, but the small angry pokemon bounds over it. As she jumps over, though, the green one makes another strike and barely catches her with its teeth! She seems enraged as she spins, letting out a loud shriek that sends the third snake reeling backwards, bleeding from its eyes. Claudia shrieks as they're attacked, throwing out her hand--and around her, coils of shadows are drawl from the trees and form a haze around her. Ravio can hear her breathing heavily, panting, as she jumps backwards, the hazey darknes surrounding her making it difficult to make out the young girl's shape--or the pokemon that coil on the ground in the shadows. 1d20·1d20·2d6+20·1d20·2d6+20·1d20·2d6+20·1d20·1d8+18·1d20·1d8+21·1d20

Quigley's sent reeling by Blue's attack! Despite his injuries, the bird uses Wing Attack on Blue before disengaging! " Gah! Quigley! Gah! Claudia! What on earth was that!" Ravio shouts more random exclamations as he moves away from the one visible serpent. Somehow, despite the hood, he shows obvious, worried concern for his companion before firing an arrow at the assailant! Quigley: On Blue: Quigley used Wing Attack! | AC: | 0KLdtSCa1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 2 + Target Evasion | Type: | Flying | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage: | 2d8+21 | Crit: | 4d8+31 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | Melee, 1 Target | Effects: | -- |
Ravio: Both on Blue: Ravio used Struggle! | AC: | 1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 4 + Target Evasion | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage: | 2d6+13 | Crit: | 4d6+21 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | 4-12, 1 Target | Effects: | -- |
(Swift action thanks to Quick Wit): Ravio used Baby-Doll Eyes! | AC: | 1d20+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 2 + Target Evasion | Type: | Fairy | Frequency: | EOT | Damage Category: | Status | Range: | 4, 1 Target, Priority, Social | Effects: | Lower the target's Attack by -1 CS. |

Quigley's quick strike knocks the snake for a loop, leaving it bleeding and hissing angrily. As Ravio's arrow goes wide, it lunges after the bird with teeth bared. It sinks its teeth deep into Quigley's feathers. The red seems to be distracted, flailing around and smacking itself into the ground. Green strikes true at Gothita, teeth scraping harshly, but the small pokemon only winces at the bloody mark left behind and immediately punches the snake's nose, shrieking. It doesn't do much damage. Claudia cries out as the red snake twirls around. "I-I don't know!" She shrieks--and the snake lets out a wail of pain as her voice is amplified. The snake collapses, bleeding sluggishly. Initiatives! Quigley - 20 Ravio - 18 Serviper - 11 Gothita - 10 Claudia - 7
Blue takes 2 injuries from Quigley's attack. Ravio's struggle misses, but the snake seems a bit more hesitant to attack after looking at him. Red's Action - Confusion Check COnc6OO21d20 On a success, Red lunges at Claudia! 1d20 Bite vs AC 2, Flinch 15+. 2d6+20 Blue lunges after Quigley, hissing angrily. 1d20 vs AC 2. 2d6+20 Green lunges at the Gothita. 1d20 vs AC 2, flinch 15+. 2d6+21 Gothita, if it isn't flinched, uses Pound. 1d20 vs AC 2. 1d8+7 Claudia uses snarl against Red. 1d20 vs ac 3, 2d6+23

As the Seviper strikes at Quigley, the bird goes quite limp. It's... not good. Ravio, seeing his Pokémon faint, quickly rubs the nape of his neck, turning his bird into energy. " ...h-h-hope that means he's not dead." He then steps away from the snake, and sends another arrow in the creature's direction. Recalling Quig, using Struggle on Blue again, spending an AP for a +1. Ravio used Struggle! | AC: | UbB8r4rl1d20+1+Accuracy Bonus ≥ 4 + Target Evasion | Type: | Normal | Frequency: | At-Will | Damage: | 2d6+13 | Crit: | 4d6+21 | Damage Category: | Physical | Range: | 4-12, 1 Target | Effects: | -- |

The arrow flies fast and true--and the snake makes a shrieking noise as the arrow sink deep in its eye. It collapses onto the ground. The final snake lunges at Gothita, who immediately begins to shriek once more, causing it to reel back in pain. The Gothita pants in pain, the snake reels back, and Claudia lunges forward and smacks it. The snake sinks to the ground--and slowly, as the combat ends, the hazy darkness around Claudia starts to dissipate. The young girl looks over at Ravio with wide eyes. "...what...what happened?" She asks. Conclusion of Combat! Ravio's team gains 18 pxp, half of which must go towards a combat combatant. Achievement! First successful combat! You /survived!/+5 TXP! Achievement! First team battle! You're learning how to fight in a group! +5 TXP. Initiatives! Ravio - 18 Serviper - 11 Gothita - 10 Claudia - 7
Xb3AO1j81d20 vs AC 2 - Bite 2d6+21 vs Gothita If it survives: 1d20 vs AC 2 - Uproar 1d8+21 If the snake survives, Claudia uses Feint Attack = 1d20 Crit Check, 2d6+19 1d20·2d6+21·1d20·1d8+21·1d20·2d6+19

Ravio talks slowly as he tries to keep his heart in his chest. " I think... they were... trying to... eat us..." The young-sounding man wipes his brow, then turns to the remains. " Well Claudia, while I'm not much of a hunter, I'd rather not waste potential food. You might want to look away." Ravio then rolls up his purple sleeves and pulls out an arrow in preparation for dirty work. Half of PEXP went to Quig, half to Ossia. Ossia's 9 XP was boosted to 10 by the baby food, leveling her up!

Claudia fists her hands, shaking her head. She opens her mouth as if to speak and then closes it. While Ravio works on the snakes, the girl takes a seat in the grass by the tree. She settles her skirt around her and stares down at her hands, twisting them this way and that. She seems to be concentrating hard--and Ravio at one point swears that he sees his shadow jerk under him. By the time he's on the third snake, Claudia is sitting with her pokemon in her lap, watching Ravio. She's alarmingly still, and her expression placid as she watches him finish the bloody task. "Done?" She'll finally ask, rising from her crouch. The sun is starting to dip in the sky as he finishes. Ravio looks at his harvest results and finds a pile of meat he's sure is probably edible. He's also sheets of scaled skin, sinew, some larger bone fragments...it doesn't smell great, but some of it seems useful. The skins would probably help make for a rain resistant shelter, at least, and the bone fragments might be useful for cutting... GuTqEUU91d201d201d20 ^Nothing of Relevance^

"Think I got everything I can from the bodies," says Ravio, wrapping the messier Seviper bits in the snakeskin. He glances at the lowering sun. "Looks like we should head back." He turns to start walking eastward.
After a short while of walking, Ravio begins talking to Claudia. "So... Looks like you have some kind of control over darkness. Is that... normal for you?

The girl nods, picking up her grumpy Gothita from where it seems to have fallen asleep next to her while they waited. She follows, moving slowly to keep from waking it from waking up. She's quiet for a few minutes after Ravio asks his question. "...no." She finally says, looking intently forward.
"/Nothing/ about what has happened in this place has been...normal." She says, and she lets out a soft laugh. Much more quietly, she says, "I miss my father."

"It'll be alright kiddo. If he's not here, we'll figure out how to get back home. I myself was a bit...busy before I appeared here. I'd rather not just leave everyone back home on their own." Ravio makes a broad sweep of the hand. "This place is pretty, though, isn't it? Very green, lots of life–even if some of it wants to eat us," he says, with a happy sigh at the end.

Claudia is quiet after Ravio's comments. "It...is very pretty," She says, gaze flickering around, but not much else. There's an expression of intense concentration on her face, and her lips move as if she's talking to herself. In her arms, after they've walked for a while, the small Gothita begins to stir, looking around with a soft, dazed expression. She pulls, from a small bag over her arm, a small familiar looking glass jar filled with greenery, and starts to feed it to the beastie--who grumbles and glares at Ravio as she chews the herbs.
The pair make it back to the clearing easily. The scent of blood that drifts from the snake packages seems to scare off anything that might otherwise have sought them out. The clearing looks different, though, when they arrive. There seems to have been some sort of landslide--dirt and crumbled rocks have slid down from the cliffside, scattering across the grass.

Ravio looks around the messed up clearing. " Hm. Something happened here. Well, I'd complain about the mess, but those rocks might be useful later. I was thinking about working out some kind of fire pit tomorrow, what with all the raw meat." Ravio looks around to see if there's anything notable about the remnants of the rockslide. Oh, look at Ravio using that newly-raised perception! iMsS_2v13d6
