[QUOTE="Mewness, post: 5977164, member: 14889"] [b]The Fungus God: Round 3[/b] Aerys continues to cough and splutter, backing away slowly. The zombie creatures strike savagely, with Castile, Kane, and Takahaan all taking heavy blows. One of the bushy plants jabs Kane sharply with a thorn, hooking him. The other wraps a tendril around one of Jade’s legs and starts dragging the poor creature away. The huge mass of jumbled growth continues to inch forward. More fat puffballs pop up out of the ground, but Hú Lí and Noriaki both avoid the poisonous bursts that accompany them. [sblock=actions]Noriaki can take advantage of Stand the Fallen before his turn starts if he desires (he’s at 29/51 HP currently, due to lose 5 at the start of his turn unless he takes Hú Lí’s slide). Aerys shifts to G8 and fails her save. Blue zombie shifts away from Noriaki and charges Castile, ending in D11 and hitting for 15 damage. Yellow zombie shifts to F7 and attacks Kane, hitting for 13 damage. Green zombie shifts to G4 and attacks Takahaan, hitting for 10 damage. Yellow blood shroom shifts to H6 to flank Kane and attacks him, hitting for 13 damage and Kane is grabbed. Purple shroom shifts to J4 and attacks Jade, hitting for 11. Jade is grabbed and pulled to I5. Big nasty inches forward and attacks Hú Lí and Noriaki, missing both. Two more spores appear, one in F11 and one in A12. Castile, Hú Lí, and Noriaki are in the auras. [b]Off-turn stuff[/b] Virtue of Cunning: Only Noriaki is eligible. Castile could drop the blue zombie with Shield Edge Block before her turn starts (although its attack roll was good enough that it will still hit). [/sblock] [sblock=If you hit a fungus zombie]Roots of the Colony: If another zombie is within 5 squares when you hit, then each one takes half damage from the attack. If there’s more than one within range, pick the least damaged one to share the damage.[/sblock] [sblock=Controlling Aerys][b]Companion NPCs in Combat[/b] Any PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Pezock to use Icy Skewer, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf. NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them. If all of the PCs act in a given round without giving any actions to a particular NPC, I will have that NPC take [b]one[/b] non-offensive action.
