It will last for five rounds after Nishka stops singing, and it gives all friendly targets a +2 morale bonus on saving throws versus charm and fear effects and a +2 moral bonus on attack and damage rolls.<br/><br/>Nishka will use her move action to withdraw her pistol from the holster beneath her skirt. It is already loaded.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>"Oh Ezra, why me?"</strong>The dark-haired girl shook her head slowly, not wanting to believe her ears or her eyes. Maybe it was just something about her, Nishka thought, as she tried to come to grips with the scene before here.<strong>"Everywhere I go, people die."</strong><br/><br/>She watched as a Vistani turned into some sort of demon, and bit the head off of a man she had spent time with only hours prior. Her heart beat hard, shuddering as the night came alive with gaping maws and hideous teeth. In times like these, she turned to music. Sometimes, a song could bolster her spirits, and help to ward of the sheer panic that threatened to overwhelm her.<br/><br/><strong>"Like a li-ight, in the dark. Ez-ra, our lad-y o' the Mists. Defend...Us! Protect...Us! Let our li-light burn our fear and let our hearts spi-ill with cour-age!"</strong>She began to sing her song, low at first, and then like the rising sun her voice boomed with radiance. Though her body was small, Nishka's voice was confident and powerful as she traveled into the song. The pistol she pulled from beneath her flowing, purple skirts reinforced her fledgling courage.
