For all of Taako's internal discussions about trying to play this smart, he knows this was a stupid idea as soon as the information starts coming in. This is hopeless. If she knew how to get out she'd have fucking done it.
The problem here is it was a distraction. He needs to ready another spell, think of something to do, and she moves too fast for him to track. The barrage of information- between her thoughts, his, and the crowd- is too much, and she slams into him without even time for him to put up a defense.
He goes down hard, feeling her having torn his neck nearly open, instinctually grabbing at the wound and trying to ignore the dizziness from where his head smacked on the way down. Even if he tried to get out of here now, tried to Blink somewhere, every thought comes hazy, and his concentration is limited. His staff, still gripped in his arm, isn't going to help that focus either. In a desperate attempt, a shimmering, translucent hand appears and grabs onto Rosie, attempting to chuck her across the stadium (dc 25).
guess who finally crit failed
