In his (the human’s) hands, he held only a small pistol. He popped it up – in the general direction of the Mycabri, but his aim waivers, his confidence quickly fading by the looks of it....Mont saw the armed human as soon as he entered, and brought his Grayhawk up to bear.  His other hand, almost casually, plucked a fragmentation grenade of his mesh vest, and tossed it down the hall – towards the CMC troopers.  Despite the concealing smoke, and the off-hand manner in which Mont threw the grenade, it lands true.Dhran hadn’t found the door as much as he “felt” – thanks to tremorsense – Mont move past him and into the apartment.  Despite the fact that he stood fully in the doorway, Dhran failed to notice the grenade arc over his shoulder and out into the hallway…</blockquote>
