The flash bomb detonated, and  one of the thugs reeled back, blinded, while the other yelled and turned to confront the intruder.  At the same time, the bolos slammed into the device, and wrapped around its trigger mechanism, causing a massive wave of electricity to conduct through the rope and directly into Nightshade, as the third thug raised his gun.  The hostages ran against the wall in fear, bracing and cowering as the electric field blazed just a few feet from them.<br/><br/>(Nightshade needs to make a DC 22 toughness save to avoid damage from the electric shock.  She is fatigued from extra effort, but can spend a hero point at the start of her turn to recover.  She gains a hero point from attempting to disarm the device.)<br/><br/><br/>Initiative:<br/><br/>Blitz: 30+<br/>Nightshade: 17<br/><br/>Minion 1: 13<br/><br/>Minion 3: 8<br/><br/>Blinded Minion 2: 5<br/><br/>Hostage group 1: 0<br/>Hostage group 2: 0
