The Messenger scenario says if the model uses an ability that removes it from the table it is considered assassinated.
Does this include Nezumi's (and Kitsune for that matter) ability to transform? They are removed from the table, but they are replaced in the same location.
Also, If a player were to use "From the Darkness" they are considered "Assassinated"... so thats one VP to the opponent... but if you are first to the "zone" and live to the end of the game, thats 2VP's... might be worth the risk.
A good question: Nezumi's ability can be used to teleport (to another swarm) so that ought not to be allowed, but Kitsune's does not.
I thought the 'considered assassinated' meant that it was actually killed. But if so it is very unclearly stated.
