Unfortunately, this close, he wouldn't be able to get his sneak attacks, and his second attack would be deflected by the cultist's armor. "Grab him, you stupid beast!" the cultist yelled, as he jumped off the sphinx's back and waited for his mount to try to grab Lykos. It snapped at him with its beak, trying to grab him!<br/><br/>(24 vs. CMD to grapple)<br/><br/>Regardless of success, though, the cultist would call down a bolt of lightning from the sky, attempting to blast Lykos, especially if he's been grappled!<br/><br/>(DC 18 Ref to save for half, vs... 12 damage. On 5d10.)
