[ ooc: jsyk i'm rolling numbers in random.org to determine whether shadow gets hit with the ailments.if the number is lower than the % listed in the skill then he gets infected; if it's higher, he doesn't. so far it's always been higher. i think random.org has a shadow bias. :\ ]

Shadow stands still for a brief moment after the Mouse King attacks. "Is that it?" he asks impatiently, before launching into another homing attack. This time, instead of falling back as usual, he uncurls and hovers in the air briefly to fire a few weak Chaos Spears at close range.
