Seeing that Shrakk seems well in control of the mop-up of the remaining constructs, Kasha focuses her attention on the bloody and beaten figure of RAM TIGER. She approaches the fallen gnoll and, with an exaggerated cringe of disgust, checks for any signs of life. Finding him still breathing, she gives an disgusted sigh and shakes him vigorously.
"Hey! What are you trying to pull, you lazy mutt? You're fine, get up and stop faking!"
She grins as RAM TIGER stirs to his feet, her unorthodox approach to the role of combat medic paying dividends for the second time that day.
"All right, addaboy! Now sic 'em!" she calls gleefully, levelling her sword at the new arrival.
Although Shrakk is seriously wounded, he unrelentlesly continues his attack on the construct in front of him, hoping he'll be able to resist one more attack before falling back to heal himself.
His attack, however, is wide and misses. Although risky, Shrakk decides to fall back anyway.
The little birdies around RAM TIGER's head flap away as he wakes up and snaps at them. After coming to his senses, the gnoll stands, twists his head around behind him, digs an object out of one of his satchels and devours it with a loud
crunch.

The construct swings clumsily at Shrakk, but the avenger leaps out of the way. It then slams into RAM TIGER, hitting the gnoll right on an open wound.
The black cloaked figure runs up, draws a staff with a pulsing crystal and the end, and slams it into the ground. As soon as he moves away, it begins sparking - it looks hazardous to move near it, though the staff itself looks fairly fragile. The figure then climbs atop the pedestal and spins, hurling a ball of jagged metal the explodes over Kasha's head, sending metal slivers and shards flying in all directions.
