Madrin confirms that there is no periodic shower expected around this time, so its status on the spectrum between "interesting phenomenon" and "portent of sinister events" is undetermined.

Madrin blesses up and pew-pews the targets she can see. Joana whips out some trusty ''chaos bolts''.		** Whip gets in the way and starts stabbin'.

	** Elian Kool-Aid-Mans straight through an intervening wall, doing no damage but removing some mummy for the cover. This distracts the mummy just enough for Joana to take position behind and set it ablaze. Its parched raiment immediately catches, and it bursts in a cloud of noxious fumes that catch Whip and Elian before they can move, doing some damage.		** Elian Kool-Aid-Mans straight through an intervening wall, doing no damage but removing some mummy for the cover.
