The sword sand and struck something solid in the relative dark; blood arced, and moments later the pipe-smoking doorman appeared sprawled across the floor, having just blacked out while clutching feebly at a slash across his jacketed chest and an arrow through the side of his neck.<br/><br/>Moments later there was a fabric-snap and rush of air as some unseen kick narrowly missed Kass. Aria once again took a cue from the way Kass moved, activating another of her magic items' speed-burst effects. She glided to the presumed spot of the unseen foe while drawing a kukri; the magic of her bow might've been helpful, but since she couldn't see her foe to target it precisely, she would have to hope to get lucky with this weapon's dangerous edge. Besides, if this other attacker could bat arrows right out of the air like his fellow...<br/><br/>Her first slash was through air, but the next two were lucky indeed, back-and-forth in succession across the throat of the assailant, which became visible as he rolled backwards clutching a gushing gullet but dead as he hit the ground. It was the other doorman, sure enough, but curiously his ponytail hairband was now over his eyes like a blindfold.<br/><br/>High above Kass and Aria, there was a ripple of gasps and tongue-bitten-suppressed squeals. Several of the normally silent black-garbed crew members on the catwalks stared down at the swift carnage with bulging eyes, gasping shocked and bewildered utterances to one another.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Kass hits (rolled her 50% miss chance and she succeeded), drops foe<br/><br/>unseen-foe attack at Kass from her west, atk 20 [vs her flat footed AC], miss<br/><br/>Aria:<br/>activate belt of battle (2/3 left after), fly move (50' of 60'), draw kukri and full attack at square Kass was attacked from<br/>atk mods 28/23/18/13<br/>rolling six 50% miss chances:  39, 64, 59, 35, 47, 85,<br/>so mh1,4 and oh1 miss<br/>three atk rolls and threats: Result: 17, 19, 20, 8, 14, 10,<br/>2 atk 23+17 threat 23+19 crit dmg 15+16+69<br/>3 atk nat20 threat 18+8 crit dmg 16+16+61, slain<br/>(wow, really lucky there; but it was 'delibate luck', hoping forthe kukri wide threat ranged to get crits and earn back sneak attack damage)<br/><br/><br/>I believe that you can draw a weapon on a charge, but b/c a charge requires line of sight, you can't charge an 'invisible' foe (even if you know the square); which incidentally is why Aria used a belt of battle charge rather than the lion' charge spell.<br/><br/><br/>A = Aria (where she last was before going through wall)<br/>K = Kass<br/>N = NPCs detected/attacked<br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: courier;"><br/>|. . . . . . ./<br/>|___ . . __./<br/>|. .|. .|. .|                                                     |. .|. .|. .| <br/>|___ . . ___|                                                     |___ . . ___| <br/>|. .|. .|. .|                                                     |. .|. .|. .|<br/>|___ . . ___|                                                     |___ . . ___|                                                     |<br/>|. .|. .|. .|                                                     |. .|. .|. .|<br/>|. . . . . .|                                                     |. . . . . .|<br/>|___|. .|___|                                                     |___|. .|___|<br/>|. . . . . .|                                                     |. . . . . .|<br/>|___|. .|___|                                                     |___|. .|___|<br/>|. . . . . .|                                                     | . . . . . |<br/>|___|. .|___|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|___|. .|___|<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . .___________. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .___________. . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .|<br/>|. . . . . . .___________. . . . . . . . . . . . . . .___________. . . . . . .|<br/>  \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>    \. . . . . . .___________. . . . . . . . . . .___________. . . . . . ./<br/>      \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>        \. . . . . . . . . _________________________ . . . . . . . . ./<br/>          \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>            \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ./<br/>              \. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
