Aeriyon had flexed to defend himself from the magic missiles then nodded to Elvas his thanks for the counterspell and turned his attention back to what was going on. But this time his focus had shifted, he was eyeing Faeremhara's backside; thinking for one: she has a nice ass. And two: that she wasn't paying attention to what was going on behind her. He could hear a strange faint whisper that he couldn't make out but shifted a bit in place.  He'd lightly touch his amulet, activating it as if making a nervous gesture. Then would get past the others as if going to join the matron. Being careful not to expose his own back to anyone.<br/><br/>Then would slip up behind the matron and suddenly made a lighting fast attack at her lower back, his hidden blade springin out as he did.  The blade seeming translucent ans ghostly as it dove for Faeremhara's exposed spine.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Assassination attempt</div><div class="spoiler_body">Since activating his heartseeking amulet: both count as touch attacks.  <br/><br/>Snake rolled: 1d20, adding 15to the total Result: 20, Total: 35 Critical Confirm: Snake rolled: 1d20, adding 15to the total: Result: 16, Total: 31: Damage: max: 14 for Dagger hit\ Sneak attack damage: 40 (Triggering teh Death by massive damage rule).<br/><br/>Second Stab: Also Touch: Snake rolled: 1d20, adding 10to the total Result: 20, Total: 30: Crit Confirm: Snake rolled: 1d20, adding 10to the total Result: 14, Total: 24| Damage: 14 for Dagger\ 7d6a14 Result: 39</div></div><br/>When the matron succumbed to the attack Aeriyon gave them a look. "Some power or something began to whisper to me in my mind saying to elimate her... " He offered as explanation, trying to bluff that Lolth herself had influenced his actions (Bluff attempt: 1d20a10 Result: 21 includes favored enemy bonuses for dealing with drow). If that didn't work he already had his escape plan mapped out and concealed a daylight pellet between his fingers. IF they moved to retaliate; he'd drop it and flee.<br/><br/>
