Did the tulani realize the swordsage was evil?According to the FC II web excerpt, Mark of Stygia requires Brand of the Nine Hells, which has the prerequisite of Lawful Evil and devil (whatever that means). Since tulani have always on blessed sight, it should have noticed the swordsage's evil aura immediately.2. Did the tulani's protective aura come into play?This acts as a double-strength magic circle against evil, which would have given it another +4 deflection bonus to AC.3. Did the tulani use bardic music?Tulani can activate bardic music once per round as a free action. In particular, Inspire Greatness could have given it a +4 morale bonus to saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC.4. Did the tulani use righteous smite? It can be used at will, and against evil opponents, it deals 18d6 damage (DC 30 Will save half) and blinds the opponent on a failed save.5. Did the tulani use power word kill?This would be the logical last-ditch effort to be used after a long, drawn-out fight in which it has wekened its opponent but is still about to be defeated.</blockquote>
