Haste provides the following bonuses: extra attack at full attack bonus when executing a full round attack, +1 bonus to attack rolls and +1 bonus to AC and Reflex saves; it also adds +30 feet to each of the affected character's movements speeds. It lasts for 8 rounds.<br/><br/>She uses her move action to reach beneath her flowing skirts for her dagger as well.<br/><br/>(4 rounds: Inspire Courage +2: +2 attack, +2 damage, +2 save vs. fear and charm<br/><br/>(8 rounds: Haste: +1 attack, + 1 AC, +1 Reflex saves, +30 feet movement, extra attack if using full attack combat option)<br/><br/><hr/><br/>For a moment, the girl thought she had slipped away from the fight unnoticed. Maybe she would have enough time to tend to the wound at her belly before she had to come up with a plan. The Vistani were getting slaughtered by the dragon men, and while she felt awful about it, her first reaction was to get herself to safety.<br/><br/>That's when she saw the large, lumbering form, peering at her from down the carriage. A maw filled with hideous teeth, and monstrous eyes gazed right at her! She almost screamed, but her hand came up and stifled the little shriek! It's just one. Only one of them sees her. Maybe she can kill it, quietly, and then no one will know where she is.<br/><br/>Either kill it, or run. As she looked into the darkness beyond the camp, she wasn't sure that running was an option just yet. There could more of the monsters, in the dark of the night. She pulled her skirt up, revealing a bit of creamy thigh just above the edge of her stockings. There was a glint of metal there as well, and her dagger was free and in her hand moments later.<br/><br/>Nishka chanted something, low and quiet; an old Falkovnian battle chant she had heard once, when she had snooped at the very edge of their borders. It put her in a different place, gave her focus and speed. Even though the chant was very soft and hard to hear, she could tell her allies were affected as well. Vistani moved quicker, fought harder...or maybe it was just in her head; In any case, she was about to be attacked, and she prepared to defend herself beneath the large gypsy vardo.
