Welcome to Gaia! ::

Pingi quickly seizes the opportunity and takes another blunt peck into Nitzu, hitting Nitzi straight in the sternum.

Nitzu continues to struggle against blunt force. Pingi continues to move after Nitzu, attempting to back it into a submissive stance.

However, Nitzu makes a quick agile move and, with the soft snow melting on its back, it fires off a fierce crackle of power and energy. The shot sends Pingi flying back far enough to slightly obscure the penguin from its attacker.

Both animals are struggling to keep their strength; in particular, Nitzu continues to freeze and suffer from the blunt trauma inflicted upon it.

Nitzu: 32%, still freezing
Pingi: 38%

Nitzu! Shock Chamber! Gah >_<

shock chamber

Pingi breaks free of the paralytic effects of the lingering sparks of energy, while still suffering from it.

Pingi judges how to make an entrance toward her opponent and deliver a death blow to a weakened pet.

Nitzu quickly jumps to attention yet again and fires a paralyzing blow. Pingi attempts to run away from it at the side, but is enveloped by it. The electricity gives a critical hit to Pingi.

It lays on the ground, seemingly fainted from the amount of electric energy plaguing it.

Nitzu: 21%
Pingi: fainted

(Note: Nitzu is an electric type and Pingi is an ice type. Ice types are weak to electric and are at a natural disadvantage. Electric attacks should do 125% their normal effectiveness against Ice types. To view strengths and weaknesses of pets, view this chart.)

At this point, I would declare the match over.

Starlurk won and is entitled to increase one of her quest attributes (speed, strength, and intelligence, the ones listed in a 'Campground' post)

The amount that she gets to increase is 2 because the pets are the same level. (If her pet were a level higher than __penguin__'s, she would only be able to increase 1. If her pet were a level lower, she would be able to increase 3, etc. Any confusion on how much an attribute should be raised in a battle should be PM'd to me.)

I would now ask Starlurk which of her attributes she wants to improve.

So, I would report to the 'Clubhouse' thread, as the ref, that Starlurk's pet beat __penguin__'s pet and that Starlurk can raise Nitzu's intelligence by 2. When I report this (I won't, this is hypothetical and she can go ahead and increase it razz ) and only when I do, Starlurk can increase her pet's intelligence by the alloted amount.

At this point, I would look to see if __penguin__, owner of the fainted pet, had any pets remaining. If she did, I would then ask her to release her pet and attack. This would be followed by Starlurk attacking, just as normal.

However, __penguin__ doesn't have any pets left. (HA! HAHAHA!) So, I declare the match, of course, over. I report to the 'Clubhouse' thread (along with the attribute hike for Starlurk) that Starlurk has won the battle.

That's all there is to it! Now, you try.

One last thing. My Nitzu gained 2 intelligence. I go to my campground and I go to the post where I introduced Nitzu and I add those points to her intelligence. I then edit the post so it says Intelligence: 12. Yup
