Tabby watches the blade slice towards her, rolling to the direction of the street and jumping off - admittedly a bit more difficult to do in *Medium* Armor, yet not impossible. 

"Where'd your friend go??" She asks Cumhall — somewhere on the *Left* — remaining completely invisible before her *Concentration* Fizzles out. Clearly this knight isn't fooled by *Invisibility*... 

So, like with many other threats, Tabby grabs her *Weapon* Bag of Holding, her Defender spilling out as she too becomes visible. She hands this defender the *Trinket* Bag and begins to speak aloud.

"I have an ultimatum for you! You grant safe passage, and you *Won't* Spend the last 30 minutes of your life drifting in and out of consciousness as reality itself twists and warps around you!" She calls over, as the defender moves upward, Tabby behind, interposing it as a mechanical shield. 

"Whaddya say? Want a one-way ticket to your untimely death, or no??" It's not hard to see why she was kicked out of her Artificer Guild with such incredible deals at her disposal. The others simply couldn't keep up.

Alas, Tabby has used her action and bonus action, so she is forced to *End her Turn.*

Tabby materializes *Behind* The knight upon hopping down, keeping a very appreciative distance, and walking veeeeeery slowly.

He smiled and whispered to himself as he prepared to enact his "Master" Plan, until *Where'd your friend go*

His head snapped to the side, as Tabby materialised, he silently cursed to himself as he back peddled. The beam of energy remained on, searing through the wooden structures and burning the grass as he redirected it straight at his foe, the knight would have to change his course to avoid the beam, but the beam would surely follow, a direct path would not be possible and the knight should be sufficiently slowed.
He began to form a new plan in his mind, the knight's weapon was long, an advantage when your enemies are far away but it could also be a weakness, he just had to get 1 god hit in before the knight retreated to safety.. That's if he could get close enough in the first place.

The knight pays no heed to the words of the contemptible outsider. From beyond its silver plate, it hears all but heeds not, its duty unerring in the face of all manner of either threat or danger. Even in exile, an Eclipse Knight is dutiful unto death, and solitary in its vow. A single word could not be provoked from the knight's sealed lips, and neither could its right hand of duty be urged from its blade. 

The knight did not so much as turn an eye to view Tabby as she voiced her ultimatum, proceeding in its sustained charge forwards — towards Cumhall. As he used a ranged attack which seemed to the knight like magic, he was the preeminent threat amongst the two, and thus the knight would seek to eliminate him first. Its back was thus left open to Tabby, yet as it sprinted forth, it would continue to build distance between itself and the second adversary at its rear flank. Further, that same, strange sensation, *As if she was being watched,* Persisted, even despite the knight not directly facing Tabby, nor her Steel Defender. **The Eclipse Knight did not mundanely watch over Tabby, yet enabled through the transmundane of the Prayers of the Eclipse, it continued to oversee her nonetheless.**

Its silver boots slamming against the stone road below, it managed to keep pace with Cumhall's retreat due to its established momentum, yet would have to break from its full sprint as he adjusted the trajectory of the beam-weapon to threaten its own body. While it did not know what the outcome would be, were it to be struck by the attack head-on, the knight demonstrated extreme caution when faced by his attack. Adjusting the angle at which it dashed forth, the knight relinquishes its forwards momentum to **Sidestep the oncoming beam,** Changing its course to approach Cumhall at a diagonal angle. **Cumhall could likely outpace the fully-armored knight were he to continue retreating, however, especially due to the angled route by which it now sprinted.**

It sought only to get him into its effective range — which it had previously demonstrated to be up to a preposterous four meters — its right hand firmly affixed to the grip of its sword, even in its rushed, forwards dash. Were it to finally entrap Cumhall in its effective range, the knight would certainly make an attack directed to instantaneously end his life. Utmost caution would have to be practiced.

So, being left to her own devices, Tabby's gauntlet — __*Bzzzzzrttttttt*__ — comes alive, crackling with electricity as she casts the cantrip *Lightning Lure*, intending to yank the knight's sword straight out of his hand, sending a jolt of electricity down the — assumedly — metal blade. Certainly not enough to be fatal, but enough to be startling; hoping they would just drop it due to the sudden burst of energy. Of course, if they did, the sword would be dragged 10 feet away from the enemy, closer to Tabby herself.

*Right, well...*

The defender reaches behind its back, unhooking the Bag of Weapons and emptying it of the crossbow — no bolts needed, which it drops on the ground next to Tabby, moving close — closer, yet closer to the knight, ready to do some real scary shit in a minute here that would cause extreme distress, panic, and ~~probably~~ most definitely kill the foe. 

"Back up!" Tabby yells, warning Cumhall to get the fuck away from whatever is about to happen. "This is going to be *VERY* Hairy if you don't!!!" 

But, action economy strikes again, and the scheming tabaxi is forced to *End her Turn*.
