Rak backs up to try to get a better angle of his view of the roof. His eyes scan frantically as he looks for the shadowed image of the assassin.

Those standing around in front of the great ballroom watch as the noble paladin reaches out to touch the doomsayer when suddenly he lifts off of the ground and rockets backwards 15 feet to the side of the hall as if hit by the club of a giant.
