The nimble blade sinks into the shoulder of one of the thugs. Before the brute can see the origin of the attack, Mab ducks out of sight and back to the bar gate. Draglin's blow sends another of the ruffians tumbling behind the bar, wherehe catches a glimpse of Mab. Smiling at her vilely, he rises and turns on her allies. From within his tunic, he produces a small pouch and pours its contents into his hand. With a flourish, he scatters what looks like scintillating dust across the floor on the other side of the bar. The dust falls on Virgil, Draglin, Dante, and Max and coats the floor around them as well. The heros are mystified. What is this stuff? Then, as if in answer to their question, the trap is sprung. The thug with the knife reaches down to his belt, to which is tied something that looks like a gourd. Opening the top of the gourd, he flings the liquid contents into the dusted area. Fire erupts in a huge flash, singing Max and Draglin, though, by a stroke of luck, Virgil and Dante escape unharmed. The dust, however, is not consumed in the attack, and the thug begins to eye one of the torches on the wall. Taking advantage of the distraction, the rest of the neer-do-wells move in on Draglin. The dragonborn, again, crumples to the floor in a heap, "And stay down!" shouts the man with the whip as he pounds the scaled fighter to the ground with his mace. Some how they all manage to clear the dusted area before the adventurers have time to react. [sblock=Auntie Mab's Actions]Standard: Fleeting Spirit StrikeGranted Shift: to -V,-7Stealth: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283204/" target="_blank">1d20+21=23</a>Target: Ruffian 4 at -U,-6Attack: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283204/" target="_blank">1d20+16+2(CA)=25 vs. AC for 2d4+7+2d8(SA)=18 damage</a>Granted Shift: to -V,-10Stealth: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283257/" target="_blank">1d20+21=28</a>[/sblock][sblock=Enemy Actions]Human Ruffian 3Free: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283288/" target="_blank">Athletics 1d20+11=14 Fail!</a>Damage: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283289/" target="_blank">1d6=4</a>Fall to: 1d8= (From top dead-center, clockwise starting at 1)Fall Location: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3283300/" target="_blank">Fall to -V,-7</a>Move: StandMinor: Draw Elemental Accelerant Level 13[sblock=Elemental Accelerant]Standard: Area Burst 1 within 10No Attack RollEffect: Area burst 1 within 10 squares.
