Action 1
Fake Out -> Nidhogg (4 EN)
RNG roll (to crit, <=625 crit) 6538 = no crit
(4+(5-3)1.5) = 7 DMG

Nidhogg flinched!

Action 2
Envy used Protect! (7 EN)

Leech Seed -> Envy (9 EN)
But it failed!

Action 3
Yawn -> Nidhogg (7 EN)
Nidhogg became drowsy!

Leaf Storm -> Envy (8 EN)
RNG roll (to hit, <=9000 hit) 3533 = hit
RNG roll (to crit) 1765 = no crit
(14+3+(3-3)1.5)(.67) = 11.39 DMG
Nidhogg's SpA rose!

And as soon as we begin, the tricky antics of Kitsunoh are already starting as she rushes up to Nidhogg and claps her hands right in front of her face, faking her out completely and causing the grass snake to reel back in surprise, leaving her to do nothing at all!

Wanting to get a bit of recovery, even though its still very early in the match, Nidhogg begins launching several seeds at Envy, but it turns out that the ghost already has a protective shield around it, and the seeds harmlessly bounce off, then disappear, leaving both Nidhogg and Lupus quite angry!

What's this? How could Envy be tired alread- Oh, I see! It's just her Yawn attack, and it looks like Nidhogg is getting ready to take a nap! Looks like she's going to launch at least one attack before she takes a break though, as Nidhogg whips up an entire swarm of leaves, and then sends them all flying at Envy! Looks like that didn't do too much, but the fact that the grass snake looks quite a bit stronger after that attack, it doesn't look like Ranger should let his guard down!

Leech Seed (3 DMG Envy, +3 HP Nidhogg)

Wow this was an easy-ass round to ref.

While Nidhogg takes a bit of time to protect himself with a green veil, shielding him from some of the shenanigans Ranger might use, Envy just digs underground and stays put, doing absolutely nothing but burning EN!

However, it doesn't look like Lupus cares about that, as he commands Nidhogg to whip up another storm of leaves, but they just sail right over the hole where Envy is lying in wait, missing completely! Meanwhile, it looks like Envy must be planning something (or just jacking off) down there, as he's still not coming up!

And it still looks like Nidhogg and Lupus don't care that they can't hit the tricky ghost, and Nidhogg tries to drain some HP from it, but once again, the attack just sails over the hole! Finally, Envy pops out of the hole... and does next to no damage at all. In fact, the Leech Seed from last round allowed Nidhogg to gain HP this round, and Ranger's plan to drain Nidhogg's EN has practically backfired, as now he only has a tiny advantage in HP, and it looks like he is beginning to run low on energy as well!

Who will gain the advantage in this next round?!
