Traits
Assassinate
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.
Evasion
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.
Sneak Attack (1/Turn)
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
Multiattack
Malaina makes two shortsword attacks.

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.
