Adventure: The Power of Knowledge (DM: Fragsie, Judge: TwoHeadsBarking)

[Fragsie]

[sblock=OOC]Sorry about missing the move last round, Shane did move, and the bandit would have followed him, so still dazed and the bandit would have shifted to the same square (H13). But the rabble would have directed his attack against Skalisss instead, which would have been a miss, so 4 less damage for Shane.
Haven't got time for a map update now, I'm about to go out for a Wii-vening at a friends.[/sblock]

[Kalidrev]

With her sights firmly planted on Thomas's fleeing form, Mikara charges past two of Thomas's minions, steping into the last one's shadow. Moments later, Mikara appears in front of Thomas and she smiles wickedly at him. Thomas gives her a smug look.

"Yeah, whatta you gonna do, $#!@#?"
"I don't need to do anything, Thomas. Your shadow has done it all for me..."

Thomas looks behind him just as his shadow loops a dark copy of his own weapon around his throat. Thomas claws at the shadowy figure, but his hands pass right through it. While his back is turned, Mikara shoves her wide blade through Thomas's back. Thomas feels an explosion of pain in his chest and looks down at the steel protruding from the region that his heart should be.

"Goodbye, Thomas. Say hello to Lauto for me."

The second that Mikara skulks from the cloud of darkness of her own making, she feels a rush of air as a dagger flies past her head clipping a few stray hairs that float almost peacefully to the ground, but she doesn't have much time to react as one of the grubby humans charges at her wailing as he attempts to pummel her unsuccessfully with his club.
Undeterred from her target by the attacks, the drow girl doesn't slow for a heartbeat, ducking and diving through the two minions attempts to slow her.

...

As Mikara removes her blade from Tomas' back, the young man falls to his knees, blood burbles from his mouth as he breathes his last breaths. Between the coughs and gargles it seems he is chuckling.
"I won't be goin to his halls, my Lord has promised me that..." Tomas turns his eyes from Mikara and looks up into the aether, "Avenge me broth..."
Tomas' body slumps to the floor and his eyes go blank.

[sblock=Immediate Actions]Bandit 3 throws a dagger at Mikara, but misses.
Rabble 3 charges to J8 but also misses Mikara.
With your move you will also incur an opportunity attack from both of them, which both miss Rolls
It seems Mikara is just as lucky as she is dangerous![/sblock]

[Fragsie]

The gang-member nearest Tomas and Mikara turns a sickly pale shade after witnessing the foul manner of his master's death, he spews a little before covering his mouth and running full pelt out of the shrine.
Two of the bandits seeing Mikara left once again to her own devices, break off from the main group and advance on the assassin. One of them charges at her narrowly missing with his mace, but while fending off the attack from the front Mikara failed to notice the other bandit circling round and takes a wound from a rear assault.

The one remaining grubby human moves in to attack Ceryx; but fighting side by side with Skalisss, the avenger fends off the attack. One of the bandits takes the opportunity while Skalisss is distracted to deal him a painful blow from behind before ducking back to harry Brother Shane.

The two guards take distant swings at Growl and Brother Shane, but even with the bandit flanking them, the two dodge the polearms.
