Verdelet's avatars were anticipating such a move, and were already dodging away, as the net ignites; he only injures one of the avatars, with the initial strike, but it's enough to give him an edge, as they split up and shift away to other parts of the lair, trying to draw the avatars away into areas<em>not</em>currently controlled by Draiss and his troops, likely into an ambush. If they refuse to follow, however, Verdelet's avatars will continue launching harassing attacks, appearing, attacking, and fleeing, as swiftly as possible. Unfortunately, while they each use the same basic strategy, their approaches are impossibly different; one focuses almost exclusively on weapon attacks, another on illusions, a third on combat spells, and the last on mixing the styles, often switching between the three, to attempt to confuse her opponent into thinking he's fighting one of the others.
