  Activate True Seeing. Bird flies down the entire east side. LoS established via IM.
  
  I activate a scroll of Bite of the Werebear, which triggers my scintillating scales contingency. Swift jump to C-8, blinking through everything in my way, then fly forward to C-2, +10 elevation, blinking through the column.
   
  
  
  I shoot out of the column next to you, ending in C-2 +10. Same appearance as the last time you fought me (warforged, gleaming brown fur, bear's head, chain shirt, riverine spear, wings, etc, etc, let me know if you need details). You are aware that you cannot cast defensively, and that you are within my threatened area.
  
  My spear is on fire, if it matters.
