  Well I was going to use counter charge but since that was a miss anyway...
  
   Mits round 2 - 2nd to act 
   The shadows around Mits fades and his bright yellow eyes show only malice, he utters a couple words on an old language causing fire to surround Xerxes from behind. A cold aura surrounds Mits' sword and he moves it so quickly that it becomes as two. 
  
  meaning...
  
  
  No concealment this turn. Mits uses a swift action to initiate distracting ember creating a small fire elemental on U8(assuming Xerxes is on U7) then he uses a standard action to use shadow blade technique
  
    attack1  - (1d20+10)[ 16 ] (+2 from flank added)
    attack2  - (1d20+10)[ 15 ] 
    damage  - (2d6+9)[ 14 ] 
  
  and if both attacks hit
    cold damage  - (1d6)[ 4 ] 
  
  your turn.

  EDIT: Sigh, a very bad time for a 5 and a 6 in a row
conversations: Morbius:
conversations: human
conversations:  Sigh, I though you were going to die with that
  
  Ok, I have to say that I was going to use counter charge had I not know the attack result
  so roll a str check... if you win your turn happened exactly as you said, if not your attack failed and you didn't spend your psionic focus (sigh)
  
    str check  - (1d20+6)[ 14 ]

conversations:  OK, that means my Ac goes back up to 22 and I get a chance for a one-hit kill again.

conversations: Morbius:

conversations:  what did the str check mean, and how does it affect me.
conversations: king korath:
conversations: human
conversations:  The counter charge manuever made your charge fail (so you were never able to attack me and spend psionic focus) and Mits did not change your location after the counter-charge(even if he could).
  
  Then Mits attacked, missed(boop)
  
  And now it's your turn.
conversations: Morbius:
conversations: human
conversations:  OK which means that I can try to one-hit kill you again, so I will try.  Attack expending psionic focus for psionic weapon.
