Sin gasps, "You..."*Only one of the nine lightning bolts miss their mark, as Sin is caught flat-footed by the attack.  She staggers, and falls to the ground, vanishing in an explosion of black flame.*(OOC: 143 damage)"I can't believe I...!"*There is a soft clapping sound, and Sin shimmers into appearance a short distance away from where she seemed to perish.*"Oh, congratulations...you pathetic halfbreed wretch.  You managed to kill a completely false image.""B...but...but I had up True Seeing!""Hmmph.  A mongrel pup who suckled on Daryne's pap should know that True Seeing is not infallibe when the mage herself is weak.  Now away, you--I don't have time to deal with your stupidity.  I need to stop your little sneak from spiriting away Elpis--Rinaldo, you traitor!  Your soul is mine!--before she gets too far away, I'll just block her with a wall...On the other hand, I do think we need a new kitten named Rayne...I'll take care of you with a quickie--"*She waves her hand and directs her magicks to transform Rayne into a kitten.  However, a magical protective barrier around Rayne flares up, deflects the dweomer back towards Sin, and then disappears.*"Oh damn it!  No one can resist my transmutation spells, so..."*Sin turns into a cute little kitten.  She immediately dismisses the spell and turns back, but that takes her effort, so she cannot cast another spell to block Elektra, Laynie, and Rinaldo.  She still moves closer to get a better angle.*(OOC: Rinaldo's turn--he's 60 feet away from the stairs, and if he does the crazy run-along-the-walls thing, he'll be able to make it out of sight from Sin's current spot unless Sin moves to a better position to see him)</blockquote>
