Their sneak attack failed as Ralt's purple attack struck the dirt path to the left of the demon. Gallade's dual chop was met with the air as the ghost demon was able to avoid any harm. Taking the opportunity it hit Gallade with a shadow claw, striking at the chest (minus 1 dice in this fight).

"Vulpix, ember." Kanobu said, hoping his demon would be able to harm the demon. The ember failed to hit the ghost demon and landed beside of it instead.  

"Looks like it's another fight." The shinobi said, wondering if the battle would attract any attention from other creatures. 

(Ralt's attack was too low despite type advantage, then Gallade's roll was hindered by type disadvantage and the ghost was able to phase through the attack. So you can battle, retreat, or figure out something else.)
