[sblock=Mechanics]Standard action - Swarming Locusts, blast Kyvan and Dire Rat 24.

With the help of her mechanical ally's locust swarm, and with her foe alone and within her reach, Mikara decided to bring another biblical event to the table...the death of a firstborn son!

Whispering to the darkness in Kyvan's heart, Mikara introduces her foe to pure terror. Shadows flicker in Kyvan's peripheral vision, and just when he catches a glimpse of one of these shadows, he is confronted with the mental image of his brother's ghost, who lashes Kyvan with his spiked chain before dissipating into the locust swarm. Frantically looking left and right for his brother's ghost, Kyvan is surprised when he feels cold metal tear into his back before everything goes black.

[sblock=Actions]

- Free: Place 3rd Assassin's shroud on Kyvan. Because Kyvan is Marked for Death, a 4th and final Assassin's shroud is placed on Kyvan.

- Standard: Mikara uses Nightmare Shades (she invokes all of her Assassin's shrouds), rolling 21 (forgot Combat Advantage in the roll) vs Kyvan's Will for 24 psychic damage and 17 regular damage (from the shrouds) (a total of 41* damage).

- Move: Mikara moves counter clockwise around the fountain to G-6

- Action Point: Mikara uses Shadow Storm against Kyvan, rolling 28 vs AC (including +2 from C.A.) for 17* damage.

(that is a total of 58 damage to Kyvan from Mikara this round)

- Minor: Mikara uses Cloud of Darkness. This creates a burst 1 zone (centered on Mikara). The burst creates a cloud of darkness that remains in place until the end of Mikara's next turn. The cloud blocks line of sight, squares within it are totally obscured, and creatures entirely within it are blinded until they exit. Mikara is immune to these effects.

* I forgot to include Mikara's Nightstalker damage bonus. Because Kyvan is next to none of his allies, Mikara gets a +4 bonus to damage rolls. This is included in the shown damage numbers above, but not in the linked rolls.

Even as Mikara pulls her falchion from Kyvan's flesh she see's the mortal wound knit itself back together, "You won't fool me with your illusions, I know it's you, damned drow b***h!! How dare you use my brother's face against me!" He screams into the darkness.

As his rage rises Kyvan's skin crackles with electricity that all of a sudden explodes out from him as white-hot lightning that reaches hungrily for the concealed assassin. The electricity washes over Mikara burning her flesh horribly, the blue-white arcs outlining her in the pitch black allowing Kyvan to bring his sword arm down with deadly accuracy.

Satisfied by the drow's howl of agony, the Runelord's lieutenant carefully backs away from her cries until he recovers some semblance of vision.

Nearby Growl is set upon once more by the dire rats as two more of their kin scuttle down the drainpipe of the house behind, but the great bear simply swats them aside.

The elven archer upon the roof shouts something to his ally down in the street before taking aim at Andrec and loosing an arrow that lodges painfully in the warlord's abdomen.
The other archer darts over to the other side of the street then in one fluid motion he pulls an arrow from his quiver and looses at Andrec as well, adding to the bookish man's likeness to a cactus.

[sblock=Elven]"Take out the metal clad human, he is the pack leader!"[/sblock]

Brother Shane nimbly avoid the last dire rat's teeth and jumps back with a prayer to Apoli on his lips and Andrec in his sights, then he turns his attention back to the vermin at his feet and a brilliant light bursts forth from the cleric making the rat squeal in terror.

"Take out the archersss" Skalisss proposes as he sees his friends riddled with arrows.

He steps closer to the line of enemies and belches forth a torrent of lightning covering two of the rats and one of the archers. He follows with a thrust with his sunblade to the archer.
