R1T21-20: Khair grits his teeth as his scimitar starts to vibrate. He holds steady onto the blade, and his own will seems to force the vibration to subside. Once the effect has passed, Khair shouts, ”I have found a foe!” back to his allies and attempts to disengage along with Rombard. Of course, he is doing this with an eye for escape with a wounded and recently freed prisoner so he doesn't think to go slowly. In beginning his exodus, he slams into several sharp quills for 1; sure, he's moving much faster than before, but it is as if everything - including darkness - is working against him. It doesn't help that Khair is doing this in the dark with the distant torches whose light is diminished at this range and with multiple obstacles from the thickets he's working his way through.

End Round One, Begin Round 2 ...

R2T21: There is an evil, chittering little laugh. In the dim light, Khair barely makes out .... something .... no bigger than a large doll or a housecat. It easily bounds and dodges through the thickets and there is a twanging sound. Khair's left shoulder flares in mild pain as something like a needle hits him in the left shoulder for 1 NL.

R2T20: Khair, what do you do? The thing shooting at you is hounding your steps just out of reach. If moving through the thickets, do you shift to half speed?
