Nia will fire up her Resonance Field ability, a light blue grid will appear over her form.
She will get her bow out and look for a place with cover that overlooks the entrance to their current chamber.
She will call out to Gegren “I can probably drop one or two on the way in, but if there is a large group, this is going to close quarters very soon. What do you want to do?”
Gegren will hold up his flash potion [OOC: Detonation (Flash) cypher, level 5], and motions in a cover-your-eyes way. He's going to try to time this so that he gets the flash to go off in just in front of the group as they start to enter the main area. When the time looks right, he'll lob the flash potion at the feet of the leader. When it goes off he'll intone in his most intimidating voice "GO BACK. THIS PLACE IS NOT FOR YOU" (He really doesn't like these guys) [Detonation (flash) cypher: Projects a small physical explosive up to a long distance away that bursts in an immediate radius, blinding all within it for one minute (ten minutes if the cypher is level 4 or higher). Marked this cypher as used.] [Lobbing the flash potion with the right timing (Speed Task, 1 effort) beats a difficulty 3 task. (d20=11) (so a difficulty 4 task with the effort)] [intimidating the group with scary words after the flashbang, eased 1 by skill in intimidation beats a difficulty 5 task. (d20=16) (so a difficulty 5 after the ease]
