The strange thing starts to make a hollow, wrong-sounding laugh as it stands up straight. 'Hmph... Looks like it's my lucky day-' It stops as King begins to glow, and whispers a word, rasping like a claw over steel.

So, as it stands, Jefepato and the Warstrider go on tick 3, Circl on tick 4, if I remember correctly? Jefepato, you're almost certainly going to be going first. Feel free to take any actions you like, but as of yet, you've not Exalted- That's for next turn. Thankfully, I'm pretty sure you're still absolutely capable of dodging the thing, and it'll most likely be focused on King, who is<em>extremely</em>able to take care of himself now.)
