Femus was pleased by the fact that the Blue Yill was almost ready to produce seeds.  He was also glad that there were a variety of interesting plants to examine, though none of them immediately struck him as being thirst quenching.  He was especially glad of his Alert skill.

He was less glad of the sudden... company.

His first impression was simple and non-verbally processed.  However, its essence can be summarized as the simultaneous realization that the target in question was either undead or wielding a long weapon made of bone.  It was also shrouded from sight and would be difficult to analyze.  Troublesome.

There was only a moment to decide what to do and get it done.  So, Femus did what came naturally.  He dove toward the ground at an angle toward his attacker and stopped his glow.  He also cast Shock Round 2 with a target lock on the enemy's rear knee, knowing that its gait would reverse the leg's position too quickly for it to evade the strike.  Then, he used Lesser Force to push off the ground and dart past the enemy's legs before casting Static Bolt 1 where the enemy stopped.

His next move, if the enemy was down but still alive, would be to attach himself to the middle of his enemy's back with Lesser Force and cast Shield 1 on himself before using Mana Drain on the enemy.
