Pandora
A high ranking member of the noble knife, Pandora got her nickname from her numerous mimics which accompany her.
Running the Encounter
A fight with Pandora would most likely occur during an assassination, perhaps the noble knife misjudged the noble or the party believes that Pandora is just an assassin sent to attack someone who the party views as innocent. Either way, if they choose to attack her, Pandora uses her Pandora's Box ability in the first turn and uses her Ghostly Step or Cunning Action to get to her target and kill them with her noble knife. If the party gets past her mimics to attack her, she tries to finish off her target before escaping, using her Noble Strike ability on melee combatants to stop them from engaging her in battle and using Reality slip to run away and deal more damage with throwing daggers as she runs.
Unless her target is a party member, she prioritizes her mark before escaping, even losing her life if it means killing her target. If her target is a party member, she attempts to surprise them before using her noble knife on the target and using her regular daggers on the rest of the party.
