 If you've read anything about Istendil from the Lyceum, you know he wouldn't go into a group like this looking for a fight to the death.  He worked by splitting up groups, not taking them head on.  And from the log, he was thoroughly lagged the entire time.  It only takes a split second to be summoned too.
> I doubt he cast word because this was a final fight to his death.  He chose to fight this fight and if you think otherwise, you are mistaken.  Maybe I could be, but I do not see him staying long enough to get summoned.
