[Chandra Ellison]

Chandra takes to the field alongside Arensio. The little Scovine trotted out to the starting position and waved its vines menacingly at its furry opponent.

"Good luck!" she calls out from across the field.

[Rayfe Drathmire]

Rayfe's eyes narrow on his opponent. Don't want it. Luck wasn't going to secure Nyx's career. Skill was.

"Let's have a good match!" Is the reply he calls across the battlefield instead.

Rayfe gestures to his Magnox, who gallops enthusiastically to her starting position. Her fluffy tail wags with delight at the sight of the other monster's incredibly friendly waving. She doesn't have any hands or tendrils to wave back with, so she bellows a gentle 'mrr-oouuu!' at the Scovine.

[Chandra Ellison]

[Arsenio gains +2 Rage, 2 total]

At the sound of the bell, Arsenio leans forward and sprays out a long line of its internal juices... which burst into fire as soon as they're exposed to air. The attack hits, and Nyx is covered in the burning pepper juice.

(Nyx suffers 2 Damage and becomes Burning 2)

"Way to go!" Chandra shouts in approval.

(Still 20 ft. from Nyx)
[0 Rage, 8/8 Health]

[Rayfe Drathmire]

[Nyx gains +2 Rage, 2 total]

Nyx's thick hide absorbs some of the initial damage, but she simply stands there, absolutely bewildered that the friendly fire plant doused her with flames.

"Nyx! Charge up!" Rayfe orders.

Enraged by the fire singing her beautiful fur, Nyx strikes her hoof violently against the ground. Sparks shoot up her leg and coil about her horn. The flames covering her body turning a bright electrical blue as lightning begins to actively flick around her body. The current is strong. She advances 20 feet forward until she's standing over the plant monster, tossing her head aggressively.

[0 ft. from Arsenio]
[0 Rage, 6/8 Health (2 from Scorcher reduced to 1 by armor, 1 from Burning condition]
[0/4 turns for Live Wire, 2 raises used to upgrade it from 3 rounds to 4 rounds]

[Chandra Ellison]

"Don't touch her!" Chandra shouts at her Scovine. "She's all electrified!"

(Arsenio gains +2 Rage, 2 total)

Feeling defiant, Arsenio whips the Magnox with its tendrils. Some of its peppers burst as electricity courses through the Scovine's body, causing its other vines to jerk around uncontrollably. It pulls a smoking tendril back as it glares at its opponent.

"...I warned you!" Chandra shouts, her tone very much 'I told you so.'


(1 Damage to the Magnox and it becomes Burning 1.)
(Arsenio suffers 1 Damage from Livewire.)

(In Melee with Nyx)
[2 Rage, 7/8 Health]

[Rayfe Drathmire]

[Nyx gains +2 Rage, 2 total]
[Using 1 Rage to Enhance Spear 2, then 1 Rage to use Spear 2 as a Reaction]

"Shake out your coat, Nyx!" Rayfe calls.

Nyx makes a notable effort to extinguish the flames with a hurried shake of her pelt, but the flames still cling to her body.

"Now pierce through! Don't hold back!" Her wrangler roars.

Nyx bellows a ferocious cry and spears into the Scovine's hide with her electrified sharp horn, pinning it on her natural weapon. Electricity surges through the restrained monster.

[0 damage, 2 raises spent on +1 Damage, then +1 Electric Damage from using a Melee attack with Live Wire, +Pinned 2]

"Don't give it a chance to escape!"

Nyx rears up and slams her horn against the ground, battering the Scovine further down her horn.

[0 damage, then +1 Electrical Damage from using a Melee attack with Live Wire, +Pinned 2]

[At the end of Nyx's turn, Arsenio suffers 1 Electric Damage because its being pinned to Nyx, from Live Wire]

[4 Damage to Arsenio and it becomes Pinned 4]

[In Melee with Arsenio]
[0 Rage, 5/8 Health (0 from Whip reduced to 0 by armor, 1 from Burning 2 condition]
[1/4 turns for Live Wire]

[Chandra Ellison]

(Arsenio gains +2 Rage, 4 total)

"Arsenio!" Chandra jumps up and down as she waves her arms at the plant monster. "Do the thing I told you to never do!"

The Scovine tries to wiggle itself off the end of the Magnox's horn, with a little success. (Pinned down to 3)

The Scovine's eyes gleam as it scrunches up, electricity licking across its body as it expells a truly worrying amount of hot pepper juice straight up into the air. The juices immediately ignite upon contact with the air, and suddenly the arena is bathed in a steady rain of flaming napalm.

(Cinderfall = success)

[For 3 rounds, every character in a 40 ft. burst that doesn't have the Fire Type becomes Burning 2 at the end of their turn. All Recovery Rolls made to remove Burning have their success values worsened by 1.]

As fire begins to rain from the Sky, Chandra retreats to the edge of the arena, one arm raised to protect herself.

(In Melee with Nyx)
[1 Rage, 3/8 Health, Pinned 3 to Nyx]

[Rayfe Drathmire]

[Nyx gains +2 Rage, 2 total]
[Using 1 Rage to Enhance Spear 2, then 1 Rage to use Spear 2 as a Reaction]

Nyx continues to frantically shake her pelt out to try and extinguish the flames. Her fur continues to singe. [Burning 1 currently]

As the cinders begin to rain down from the sky, the young Magnox starts to panic. She strikes her hooves against the ground and begins to stomp in angry little circles with the Scovine still impaled on her horn.

"Hold steady, Nyx!" Rayfe bellows across the fiery arena. "Again, finish it off!"

The voice of her Very Favorite Person snaps Nyx back into the fight. She rears back on her hind legs and then slams her horn against the ground again, sending a surge of electricity through Arsenio yet again.

[0 damage, then +1 Electric Damage from using a Melee attack with Live Wire, +Pinned 2]

"One more!"

With a sharp cry, Nyx tosses her body roughly against the ground, taking Arsenio with her as Nyx drives her horn into the dirt. A final surge of electric current from Nyx's supercharged body should be enough to finish her opponent off...

[0 damage, then +1 Electric Damage from using a Melee attack with Live Wire, +Pinned 2]

[At the end of Nyx's turn, Arsenio suffers 1 Electric Damage because its being pinned to Nyx, from Live Wire]

[At the end of Nyx's turn, Nyx gains Burning 2 because she is not a Fire type, from Cinderfall]

[In Melee with Arsenio]
[0 Rage, 4/8 Health (-1 from Burning 3 condition)]
[2/4 turns for Live Wire]

[Chandra Ellison]

With electricity coursing through its body, the Scovine finally loses consciousness.

Chandra waves her free hand at the judges and shouts. "Concession!"

Burning fire continues to rain down from the sky.

[Virgil Conway]

A team of AMBA officials hurry into the stadium, holding a flame-retardant silver blanket above their heads. They motion for Rayfe, Chandra, and the monsters to get under the blanket as burning pepper juice continues to weep from the heavens.

"I do not get paid enough for this," Virgil mumbles as he prepares dousing sprays to hose down the competitors and their monsters.
