Batswarm

Lady Thorn summons a swarm of bats to blanket the entire arena, dealing increasing continuous oblivion damage to those who stand in it. A single green AoE (reminiscent of Zaan the Scalecaller's shield throw) will appear in the thick of the swarm, somewhere on the ground. Standing in that circle will protect you from the bats. To end this attack, you must kill the Blood Scavengers that periodicaly spawn, run up to them and use the Corrupted Blood synergy. While in the Corrupted Blood synergy animation, Batswarm doesn't hurt you.

Notes

• She is mentioned in Meet the Character - Lady Thorn.
• Several letters are addressed to her: Architectural Survey Summary Report and A Daedric Proposal.

Bugs

• If you move her towards the entrance during combat, Lady Thorn may stop moving, talking and attacking entirely, simply hovering in place. If you bring her health down to zero in this state, she will not die. At this point, the battle is unwinnable and the instance has been softlocked, as Lady Thorn cannot kill any members of your group, and you cannot kill her. ^?
