The First Mission - (Chapter 1)

[DM Spiral]

---Nolan---

A couple of things occur to Nolan while he thinks over the situation.  The first was that Viego tried to contain his lightning blast, which … electricity doesn't work well in that fashion without a direct conductor.  So it basically blasted out between his fingers and the fairy looking for one.  The second thing that occurs to him, is that he likely wasn't the direct target of the spell.  The bastards whose head popped were, but he just caught the side effect of the spell.  Which is why he is basically unharmed. 

As far as the fairy. She was paralyzed but by dealing damage, especially electrical damage to her mega-damage body (For the sake of simplicity, I'm just going to say that most people in rifts understand the difference between the damage types.)  Taking that damage is likely what helped her break free.  A better tactic next time might just be to have Marcus stab her in the eye with a vibro-knife. 

(DM - Going to wait for everyone to roll their detect Ambush before I give you the details of what you see on that front.)
