Alfa blinks a bit in anticipation, then realizes that he's not going to get much more information
"Oh . . . uh . . . like a traveler?"

Cubone dashes to its beleaguered master's aid, taking a two-handed swing at the fox with its club! Hsia takes advantage of the distraction to pull up a handful of grass and dirt and throw it in the fox's face, hoping to keep it too off-balance to retaliate. She isn't sure she can stand another burn like that. Cubone uses Bone Club; natural 20 = critical hit! 57 physical Ground-typed damage to Ninetales.
Hsia is going to try a Dirty Trick maneuver on it; attack roll is 14 vs AC 2, which is probably a hit. She and Ninetales make opposed Stealth checks, and if she wins it's blinded for a round - her result is 17.

Cubone is proving to be one super valuable asset in this match. While not finishing her off, it manages to deal an absurd amount of damage to the fire fox, while merely taking 1 fire wisp to the face. 34 special fire damage to cubone As for Hsia's dirty manuever, luckily for her the blinding mud messed up the fox's aim, and the last wisp was essentially wasted Uri and Moxie are next

Uri is thrilled to see Cubone is so powerful against these monsters. He recalls the capture devices that Alfa gave him, so he withdraws one and throws it clumsily at the fox. He winces- What a bad throw. Plus, having never before seen the device actually capture a monster in battle, he wonders dubiously whether this was a good idea as it rolls through the air.

Uri's ball would probably normally have missed, since Uri has no idea how to actually throw the ball. But, perhaps due to the fact that the fox is severely injured, blinded, and distracted, the ball happens to make contact. As it does, the Fox's demeanor shifts drastically. Thus far, it's been graceful, intimidating, and a demanding presence on the field. Suddenly it's eyes widen like big dinner plates and it's voice becomes higher and more panicky.
"WAIT!NO! THE SCHOOL RULES ARE YOU CAN'T CATCH M-"
And before she can finish, she was caught. The flowers and lizards seem to drop their attitudes as well and suddenly look more panicked. The flowers start yelling at you
"YOU ASSHOLE! YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO CAPTURE THE LEADER! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO DEFEAT US AND SHE OPENS THE NEXT DOOR FOR YOU! GOD! HAVE YOU NEVER BEEN THROUGH A BATTLE SIMULATION BEFORE?!?!?!?!?!"

Bedwyr chimes in, "You want honesty... No. This is literally our first day in the college and the our group is kinda split in half."

Sorin blinks for a minute, well guess Alfa wanted a bit more than that. "A circus, Cirque Astra is my home, Sorin Astra is the name!" He gave a bow with a big flourish, he was basically giving his home an advertisement. He was also a bit disappointing that Alfa didn't know that, but he was here to try and make his home more relevant after all, so this was all to be expected.

The flowers gawk at the situation
"Well shit. SNORLAX! CANCEL THAT LAST ORDER! THEY'RE NEW"
"awwwwww"
a deep bellow comes from a field of sunflowers to your left as a monstrously large creature stands up and walks away woefully. The ground shakes a bit with each step it takes
"Is your guide with the other half of the party? Where are you guys meeting up?"
Alfa seems intrigued in Sorin's life
"Oh Cirque Astra? I'm not familiar with them. Are they a new circus?"

As soon as Alfa said 'new' Sorin fell flat on his face. He took a moment before actually pushing himself up off his face, tears streaming down his face as he stared at Alfa with a look of disappointment. He knew that they weren't famous, but being accused of being new was a complete affront to his circus.
"No... we aren't new at all..." He said it with a sense of disappointment in his voice, like Alfa had just broken his heart right there.

They were acting? This is a simulation? Uri is confused. But it sort of makes sense since he's in a painting, after all. Maybe the school set up this whole place to test students. When the sunflora shouts toward the sunflower meadow, Uri gawks as a HUGE monster lumbers away. WHAT IS THAT???
Mildly peeved at the apparent lack of information, Uri walks over to Hsia and Cubone, where the capture device gleams bright red in the grass between them. He picks it up, opening it to release the newly captured leader. "Let's have a chat." He says. "I told the lizards already, but I don't think they can actually talk- so, we got separated from our group." He speaks loud enough for the flowers to hear as well. "Our guide's name is Alfa and he's with two others. We're trying to find our way back to the entrance- there was this circular place we walked through near the wall with a painting on it." He regards the light-haired fox. Suddenly standing so near to her, Uri is intimidated. In his mind's eye, he sees her blasting him with that ruthless barrage of light just moments ago, and he winces. Ouch. The wound still throbs angrily at his side. He tries to distract himself from wondering how injured he is, exactly. First things first: "You can help us get back?"

Alfa feel like he's offended sorin. He attempts to change the subject in a jittery fashion
"Uh!-uh- SECUS! Where are you from?"
The fox looks straight up traumatized. Her former intimidating presence has been replaced with a dropped jaw, weepy eyes, and her soul slowly pouring out of her face hole.
"I've been caught . . . by a total noob? . . . "
She immediately drops to the ground and begins barrel rolling back and forth in what can be best described as a "fox tantrum"
"WAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!! IT'S NOT FAAAAAAAIR!!! IM THE PRETTIEST MONSTER IN THIS WHOLE REALM!! IM SUPPOSED TO BE THE LEADER!!! I WANT MY MOOOOOMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!"
The sunflower sighs
"Ya we know Alfa. Stupid brat getting kids caught up in all this stupid- just follow us, we can get you safely to him"
The sunflowers wait for you to follow, but are open for anymore questions you may have

Secus blinks at the abrupt change of conversation, but answers Alfa nonetheless, "A forest a long way from here," he begins. "I was the guardian of an enchanted spring, sealing a route to the Netherworld." The explanation was simple, but it covered all the important things.

Uri would laugh if he weren't so disappointed. "You call yourself a 'monster?' Yet you're still a narcissist...talk about self-image issues." Uri returns the fox to her ball, embarrassed. "I'm ready to go if you guys are" he says to the others.

Alfa looks pretty impressed at Secus's life
"Woah, you're a guardian. That sounds cool. Who's guarding it now?"

The faintest shadow of a shadow flits across Secus' face for just a moment, before it goes blank and he says, "The spring no longer requires guarding." Again short and to the point. Though this time, slightly stiffer.

Sorin, finally getting over his own problems, actually looked over at Secus as he said things that Sorin didn't quite understand. "Why did it even need guarding in the first place?"
The poor boy scratched his head at the conundrum of all of this, hopefully it wasn't anything really bad.

Bedwyr picks up the Ko'd Salandit gently "Better make sure to take this one with. I'll see about getting everyone medical care when we can take the time and rest up for a bit"

Hsia goggles at the once-menacing Ninetales weeping and rolling on the ground. This is not how fights go, in her experience. It's just... not how things work. She drifts closer to Uri and Bedwyth, too confused to even be properly suspicious of the flowers and defaulting to pack behavior.

Secus turns to Sorin, the new participant in the conversation. "The spring kept demons from entering our realm. The seal was imperfect however. I was tasked with strengthening and minding it."

Before Secus's conversation can go much farther, the group is now reunited with their other half "and it feels so goooood"
"Oh thank goodness! You're all okay! Was there much tr-"
"YOU!! YOU'RE ALFA RIGHT?! YOU REALIZE THAT BECAUSE OF YOU WE LOST AN ESSENTIAL PART OF OUR ENCOUNTER AND NOW HAVE TO BEGIN RECUITING ALL OVER AGAIN RIGHT?!?! YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT'S GOING TO TAKE TO GET ALL THAT F**KING PAPERWORK DONE YOU F****RED MOTHERF***NG C***KS***KING F******T??!?!! I SWEAR TO GOD I'M REPORTING YOU TO YOUR SUPERIORS AS SOON AS F**CKING POSSIBLE!!"
The vulgar flower starts marching away before looking over to Bedwyr
"AND YOU!!! . . . monsters can't leave here unless they're captured by a hunter. So if you're planning on fixing her up, you better do it now."
With that, the flowers were gone, and Alfa was left completely frozen.
