TACTICS
Before Combat Zarskia drinks an extract of false life every day and consumes her mutagen and extracts of barkskin and stoneskin as soon as she becomes aware of visitors or trouble at the apothecary. If she knows intruders are close, she drinks extracts of fly, protection from energy (fire), expeditious retreat, and bear’s endurance before a confrontation (not included in her stats).
During Combat Zarskia drinks an extract of greater invisibility, followed by extracts of bomber’s eye and haste at the beginning of combat. She throws force bombs against fire-resistant foes or to knock swift enemies prone. If cornered or if she runs out of bombs, Zarskia drinks her extract of displacement and poisons her swords using her swift poisoning ability. Morale Zarskia is fully aware that espionage carries a painful death sentence in the Shackles, so unless it’s possible to successfully flee, she fights to the last breath.
