  Nanzi, a grizzled old mercenary, is enjoying a celebratory post-battle bottle of rum on a street littered with the recently deceased. Suddenly, he notices a threatening figure, exactly 100 feet away, out of the corner of his eye...

  Nightshade himself was responsible for a few of the bodies, after all, they were Rogue Hunters.  This man down the street was clearly a destructive force, but whose side was he on?
  
  Init: (1d20+6)[ 24 ]  Whoo, twice your result.
  
  From his black back burst two shadowy wings.  With a few flaps, he has moved to roughly 100 feet directly above the man, casting a shadow only half as dark as himself.

conversations.value: TigerHunter: Nanzi starts. He's been on this Earth a long time, and he's never seen anything like what just happened. Keeping one eye on the shadow creature, he reaches into the back of his van and pulls out a sniper rifle. Normally it would be locked in a hidden compartment, but he had it at hand for the days festivities and has yet to put it away. The laser sight clicks on. A barely visible red dot appears on the creature's center of mass. Nanzi fires.

  The bullet tears through Nightshade, catching him by surprise.  The wound heals almost instantly, but he is still unable to act for a moment, and his wings disappear into his body as he plummets to the ground.

conversations.value: TigerHunter: Nanzi drops the sniper rifle and with two swift, fluid motions draws his sword and submachine gun. Holding the sword in a fighting stance, he empties the gun's clip into the wounded figure.

conversations.value: Jallorn: The bullets riddle Nightshade's body, but this time he's ready.  The bullets stop on impact and slowly make their way through his body, dropping harmlessly to the ground.  Leaping to his feet, Nightshade swings his arm at the man, now shifted into the shape of a sword blade.

conversations.value: TigerHunter: Nanzi raises the sword to effortlessly swat away the arm. Now considerably creeped out, he ejects the clip and slams another one into the gun. Hoping the tactic will be more effective this time, he empties the new clip into the monster, ejects it, and slams in yet another one.
