Lazer nods and says, "Yes, after that rhagodessa we need someone whose ability to weather a sudden attack if an enemy gets a jump on the point-man ... or woman.

"Darrius, if you can hide and move in behind the rest of us for a sneak attack. Vakrissa, you're after Celiss, then Korian, then myself."

Darrius, behind all the light-users, uses their numbers and shadows to hide himself. Lazer nods, and Celiss opens the door.

Celiss opens the door. The room is 15' wide and 10' to the next side. The door is in the middle of the entering wall, and there is a door on the far side, but to the right. 10' directly across from Celiss, is not a lotus thief - at least not a rank and file human one. It is a muscular, savage humanoid of about 7' tall. Coarse hair covers most of its body. Its mouth is full of long, sharp fangs, and its nose is much like that of a bear. On second glance, however, Celiss notices that this is no ordinary, um... unordinary ... humanoid. Its hair is mangy and in patches, its skin is ashy and necrotic in some places. There is a glazed look on its eyes, and even a film over one of them. And there is a smell of death about it. Celiss might not know what kind .... but she has this feeling that this thing might not be alive.

R1T20: Celiss, it is 10' from you (means you only need to take a 5' step to get to it) and straight ahead. What do you do?
