Several Elpalzi are proficient Assassins. These include [[Tengh]], [[Zayerg]], and the late [[Zhnai]]. This attack is always made by the assassins from hiding, and has been known to kill adventurers instantly. Frequent targets are high-profile individuals such as organization leaders, nobility of Zoluren, and particularly (in)famous bards. [[Grigoire]] Denesal remains the only survivor of the attack, when Tengh targeted him during the announcement of his instatement. The assassins also particularly enjoy shaving beards as trophies. Dwarves should be wary in the event of an Elpalzi invasion. |

Assassin Zhnai slips behind Elriic, grabbing him by the chin and pulling his head backwards. You barely notice the glint of metal before his throat is cut from ear to ear, the blood spilling down the front of him like a slowly cascading waterfall. Elriic slumps to the ground with a wet **THUD** in a pool of deep crimson! |

The Elpalzi renegades under Alret fight as an organized military force. Their operations are characterized by a few primary tactics which make their incursions particularly dangerous. They are assisted by Elpalzi Assassins.
Arrow Volleys
Elpalzi favor raining down arrows in crowded areas before marching in after. This can cause fatal wounds on those who are unfortunate enough to be caught in the rain of arrows.
Bombs
Elpalzi have access to concussion bombs. These are usually tied to birds, squirrels, and other cute and perplexed animals, to be sent in to areas and detonate. This deals damage to the inner ear, rendering the victim deaf and bleeding internally. The force of the blast itself knocks them clear of the blast site, stunning them. Favored targets of the Elpalzi are open areas that people have congregated en masse in, to break up healing and resurrection groups. Adventurers should be on the watch at Triage locations. Being hit by these bombs reveals those who are hiding, as well.
Example messaging:
From the distance you hear 'Fly you stupid bird, fly!' shouted out in an unmistakably Elpalzi voice.
A bright green gidii wanders confusedly into view, before stopping and starting to shake violently and then exploding in a flurry of bright green feathers.
Raikage is suddenly revealed!
The sudden concussive blast sends Raikage hurtling east!
The sudden concussive blast sends Ponni hurtling west!
