Editing A Lilac Kind Of Purple (section)

==The Ninja Strikes!==
Scout notices the ninja coming through the window, and shouts and shoots him in the surprise round.   He takes a thrown knife for his pains, and also starts taking poison damage. 

Diomarch charges into the fray, bowling over the assassin and keeping him pinned for a round.  Stella manages to heal Scout enough that the poison is a slow drip, rather than a torrent.

Gale casts coordinate on the next attack - that clears the deck for the mooks to pincushion the assassin, though he is still standing at the end of round 2, when he drops his ninja smoke and bounces off of Vidam's anti-teleport shield.  He runs down the stairs instead.   The ninja has a schtick in hard-to-see that caps attacker’s dice at their Per; Scout gives everyone a miracle of extra Per dice.

Scout sends his Per spirit to blind the ninja, which leaves him actually blind– although he still has targeting on where the spirit is, which helps.

The centaurs keep chasing him and Luc manages to knock him down.  Scout falls over from poison.

The slow two-legs get rides from the nearby centaurs.   Stella keeps everyone (including the ninja) from dying of poison. 

Vidan pushes for "Give him to the centaurs, and we get (some of) the loot.”
