Traders in Disguise - The Illager Assassin Project

For many years, the Illagers have been gathering intelligence about their enemies. After seven years of observation, they concluded that players are responsible for most Illager deaths, failed raids, destroyed outposts, burned mansions, and numerous other defeats. In response, the Illager leadership launched a secret program called "Traders in Disguise", training elite assassins codenamed "Ambushers". These specially trained agents disguise themselves as wandering traders with the sole purpose of tracking down and eliminating every player.

Enemies

Sickle Ambusher

Using speed and illusions, this assassin becomes a true one-man army

The battle begins with the creation of four clones that surround you in a circle. The real ambusher and his doubles swiftly attack with the Ruthless Sickle (attack effects described in the weapons section). After a successful hit, the attacker instantly teleports to another location and prepares for the next assault. Clones disappear when taking damage or after 10 seconds. When losing health, the ambusher casts a healing spell that restores some health and grants regeneration III for 10 seconds, plus fire resistance for 15 seconds (if on fire). Drops the Ruthless Sickle, 5-10 emeralds, and 30 XP upon death.

Bow Ambusher

Expert archer, master of illusions, and summoner of spirits - few can survive the magical onslaught of this foe

The fight starts with the casting of mirror image, fatigue, vexes, and evoker fangs spells, which are periodically used throughout the battle. Between spells, the ambusher fires the Trifectal Bow (attack effects described in the weapons section). When losing health, applies a healing spell that restores some health and grants regeneration II for 10 seconds, plus fire resistance for 15 seconds (if on fire). Drops the Trifectal Bow, 5-10 emeralds, and 30 XP upon death.

All ambushers have 50 health points, teleport after taking 7+ damage, dodge arrows like endermen, teleport out of water, lava and powdered snow, teleport to their target when too far away, are immune to fall damage, and can take maximum 10 damage per hit.

• Inflicts blindness for 3 seconds and gives the attacker speed II for 1 second on hit

Trifectal Bow

This bow is specially designed for rapid firing of three arrows simultaneously. The arrowheads have a jagged shape that causes shock to the victim upon impact.

• Fires three arrows at once
• Arrows inflict slowness VI and weakness VI for 1 second, effectively stunning the target
