Traits
During its first turn, Malaina has advantage on attack rolls against any creature that hasn't taken a turn. Any hit Malaina scores against a surprised creature is a critical hit.
If Malaina is subjected to an effect that allows it to make a Dexterity saving throw to take only half damage, Malaina instead takes no damage if it succeeds on the saving throw, and only half damage if it fails.
Malaina deals an extra 14 (4d6) damage when it hits a target with a weapon attack and has advantage on the attack roll, or when the target is within 5 feet of an ally of Malaina that isn't incapacitated and Malaina doesn't have disadvantage on the attack roll.
Actions
Malaina makes two shortsword attacks.
Melee Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 6 (1d6 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Ranged Weapon Attack: +6 to hit, range 80/320 ft., one target. Hit: 7 (1d8 + 3) piercing damage, and the target must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
