Unfortunately, the paladin looks to be quite skilled at combat, and doesn't fall for the feint... not that it helps hum much, as the distraction provided by Nameless earns the man another claw wound from Xendi, before the hidden blade sinks home. It doesn't seem to do anything immediately, though the blow clearly hurts him, forcing him to step back, slightly, and resort to healing himself... only to scream in agony, as he jerks, suddenly, the assassin woman appearing behind him. A DC 25 Perception check will allow Nameless to notice that she struck with her blade in the same spot he struck, almost moments before.<br/><br/>This time, the blade seems to have a noticeable effect, and the man spasms and jerks, blood immediately beginning to gush from his mouth. She steps back, and Xendi grins wickedly, bathing the paladin in flame once more; as the fires die down, he's no longer moving. "I'll be back," the dragon says, in a quiet rumble. "Strip him, and I'll claim the corpse, after I've dealt with those crossbowmen."
