even though you don't actually GET the penalty, since it turned visible when it attacked Tonk.  It dies.The necromancer commits mystic suicide.  He's a necromancer, he can do that.Now lets not hear any more talk of IC being against you!  A -5 penalty to hit, and EVERYBODY HIT ANYWAY!You now have time for exactly 5 minutes of rest - any Majestic Words (or other powers) used will not recharge in time for the next fight.  That's enough time to do a reasonable number of tasks, such as climbing down off the rock or up on top of it.  Tell me where you want to be placed starting the next fight, what you want to do during the rest, and give me initiative rolls.Mikara at D11 (11/24 hp + 4 thp)Tonk at M8 (3/24 hp thp)Blade at N26 (27/29 hp, OoE on Necromancer, +5 to Athletics, +2 to speed, +2 to damage with melee attacks)Dextyr at N19 (19/28 hp)Tristan at K15 (20/28 hp, OoE on Specter)<s>Necromancer at O26 (0/54 hp, used Horrific Visage)</s><s>Specter at N7 (0/30 hp, used Spectral Barrage)</s><s>Wisp Wraith at K9 (1/1 hp)</s><s>Wraith at H16 (-10/31 hp, used Shadow Glide)</s><s>Mad Wraith at J16 (-2/38 hp, -2 to attack rolls until end of Tonk's next turn, no aura until end of its next turn, used Touch of Chaos)</s><s>Wisp Wraith 1 at I16 (-2/1 hp)</s><s>Wisp Wraith 3 at J14 (-2/1 hp)</s><s>Wisp Wraith 4 at K14 (-2/1 hp)</s>[/sblock]</blockquote>
