Silent Killer

Although Nitghstalkers usually perform only one job, sometimes some of them could escape and return to the master. Original concept of nightstalkers doesn't imply such course of events, but eventually dark mages decided that it may be a good idea to use best of skeletal assassins multiple times. ''Silent killers'' isn't the exact name. In fact these skeletons produce a lot of noise, smoke and flares - they incinerate the special powders to divert the enemy's attention so they can do the job and escape before they'll be seen.
