	* Like other Tritons, executioners can attempt drown players in rooms on the 2nd floor of Nelemar that are flooded with water. This maneuver is lethal if it succeeds but it takes several rounds to complete and the player has several chances to escape if they fail to avoid the initial attempt. Drown uses the the [[Standard_maneuver_roll#SMR_v2\|normal maneuver system ]] to determine success but also takes [[Swimming]] ranks into account. [[Water Walking (112)\|Water Walking]] and [[Purify Air (207)\|Purify Air]] also assist in protecting the player from being ~~drown~~. Drown appears to inflict a short stun with message.		* Like other Tritons, executioners can attempt drown players in rooms on the 2nd floor of Nelemar that are flooded with water.

	Executioners behave like rogues and will usually attack ~~players~~ from hiding while they are busy fighting other creatures which makes them a real nuisance. After spawning, they will slip into hiding and begin to sneak from room to room looking for players to attack.
