What kind of details are you looking for? He is wearing full plate and helm, so his face is not visible. He's wielding a Grand Daiklave, and is swinging it around him like it is a small dagger.

Well, I can flurry a kiai with a performance influence with no penalty so long as the kiai is harmonic with the performance.
So I was going to taunt him with horrible horrible death puns, with the kiai on the punch lines. The social influence being to get the DK into attacking Bard instead of Milo or Mahina.
These jokes are going to knock him dead.
Sherwood
Luna's Concubine
At the moment, Kuaidao and Milo are right up in melee with him, so they are going to be a much higher priority to deal with than Bard will be as you sing from a distance, unless you can really get under his skin and truly piss this guy off.

I thought Kuaidao was with blade. And it was just Milo with sword. Maja and Spider on archer.

The sword has its own initiative track in the hands of the Deathknight swordsman.

Alright, I've been conflicted on a weapon/artifacts for what seems like all day, but I think this one might work. Any objections to the 4 dot Daiklave Kingmaker from Red Shadow Claw's compilation

? Otherwise, I may have to look at something that's either custom or temporary. Given the stash, probably temporary. Seething Drake's an old friend after all, even if not quite where I wanted to go with this one.
As for throwing weapons, I'd be missing a perfectly good opportunity to take the Shards of Hate (though a rating wasn't given).
Also, would it bother you if I went for a Belt of Shadow Walking

? Like Infinite Resplendence Amulets, they're just too useful. I can live without it though if it cramps your style.

Okay! I understand now. Void style! Gotcha! Mmm, that changes things. I'll save my bad jokes for another time.
Change of strat.
Going to stay with Mahina and protect her spell making. And get a battle anthem going first to buff everyone, then start blasting at which ever one of them seems to be getting an edge (high Initiative) .

I have not read up on that particular weapon, but the items in that compilation are not out of line. Go ahead and pick it up.

Maja and TBD can be shadow-friends and get up to shadow-hijinks stealing things together. Maja will have no idea what she's doing, but through the magic of Lunars she'll still be pretty good at it.

Maja will be exuberant(or horrified) when Bard gets an instrument with which he can play "Rip and Tear".

Making a Decisive attack here is risky! You're about to Clash a probably-Dusk Caste (who may have the +2 to clashes from a two handed weapon) and losing Clashes can be brutal. This is your offensive and defensive mote expenditure against him for the turn so you probably want to go nova (his sword is a whole other problem), and losing your Accuracy Bonus by making a Decisive attack instead of Withering could be the deciding factor. If he wins this Clash and crashes you he could Decisive you twice before you get to go again because of Single Point, and with significant penalties to your DV. If you win the Clash you have to deal with his sword, but you'll go again before he does and can Decisive him while he has significant penalties to DV, and have way more initiative to do it with.

Kuaidao doesn't reset to base for losing a Decisive Clash, he just loses the usual 3i for missing a Decisive at 11i+. Lucky the Dusk only managed 4 hits on 15 dice!
