"To the cave!" Janis shouts, whistling a command to her great lumbering companion with a wave to attack the remaining werecreature outside before dashing toward the cave entrance.

Ladreth audibly grunts at being bitten, the first noise uttered in his current company. He pulls away from the large beast, leaning back and cutting upward toward its groin, before shifting his momentum and bringing the sword back across at head level, hoping to end this threat before venturing into the cave.
Full Attack on the remaining werewolf, +15/+10 2d6+11, if Marot downs him without killing him, Ladreth will perform a coup de grace. If Marot kills him outright, Ladreth will move toward the cave entrance, hoping his darkvision can spot anything within.

Tessa knew that the shifters were just guardians- the true threat awaited them in that cave. She moved forward cautiously, loading another silver bolt in her crossbow- besides the cackling voice, there was at least one more were-shifter in there as well.
OOC: Move to H3, second move action to reload crossbow

Forest Trials: Round 3
An almost palatable nimbus of fury surrounding him, Marot continues his assault, the purple bolts slamming true. [9hp] The halforc follows with two quick slices, but only one finds purchase. [19hp before DR, near death]
Looking behind her, Tessa believed the mercenary could finish the guardians, and cautiously approached the cave entrance. Janis follows behind her, pushing ahead towards the maw to get a better look.
At the maw is the perfectly smooth green pillar, radiating softly with its down pulse. Even this far, Janis can feel something wrong about it. The cave itself is lightless, falling quickly into shadow, though she can see it divert in two directions. As she gets closer, the sing-song rises again.
"Hair so white, skins so pale! Bathe in blood to bring the color!"
The remaining were-shifter, on the brink of death, snaps its jaws at Ladreth, but does not press the attack. Instead, it pulls back, withdrawing towards the cave mouth. [Withdraw] But Ashlyn refuses to let it go, pursuing it doggedly. [Double move to follow] Janis' companion is not far behind.

Janis sweeps her hands into majestic arcs followed by low intonations before releasing another wave of necromancy upon the forest.
Another tainted bit of rock...
OOC: Casting Decomposition, 50ft emanation centered on Janis affecting all enemies for 3 additional hit points of damage once they take damage on their turn for 6 rounds, SR applies, no Save.
Knowledge checks on the green pillar? Spellcraft? Move action to wtf? at new information.

Cursing himself for not finishing off the creature before it ran away, Ladreth grimaces at the missed opportunity and the distance it amassed between them. He instead follows the white woman, fearing her headstrong nature would get her into trouble. He runs as fast as he can in her direction, hoping to prove useful toward her.
Ladreth will move as much as it takes for him to be near the Janis, in all probability he knows he should be in front of her, but would probably end up near L5 or L8. Hopefully his darkvision will penetrate the cave.

Tessa continued to move forward cautiously as well, following Janis towards the eerie green pillar at the cave entrance.
OOC: Move to L 6; standard action to either examine pillar (if no enemies are in sight) or fire crossbow (if any enemies are visible in the cave area).

Forest Trials: Round 4
"You cannot escape the Flame!", Marot shouted, purple fury emanating from his hands. But the Bear's large form causes the warlock to overestimate the shot, and it flies just above the shifter's head. [Miss due to cover] Meanwhile, Ladreth hurries to try to catch up to the Pale Lady, his eyes trying in vain to see anything hidden. Tessa also follows, fruitlessly attempting to identify the mysterious green rock. [No applicable knowledge skills]
A wave of verdant blackness bursts forth at the end of Janis' casting, and the retreating were-shifter's wounds begin to fester. Janis barely hears a feral grunt of surprise from somewhere in the cave. But it is the pillar that captures her attention. She recalls stories from the Watchers of pillars of green rock that appear in places touched by Thelanis or its court; usually things of warmth and comfort. This appears to something similar, tough tainted, ruined somehow. She would be wary of getting too close, and the Host forbid touching it. [KN: Nature]
The silvery sing-song continues, but with a more cracked edge to it. "Sing a song of fire! Burn and join the pyre!" Suddenly, an orb of flame shoots from within the cave darkness, briefly illuminating rock and a flicking arm. Its zeros in on Janis, burning her up-flung arm. [8hp fire damage]
The wounded were-shifter, Ashlyn, and the Bear continue their chase, but the brush slows the paladin quite a bit.

Marot the Deadly
"You won't escape my fury!" Marot screams at the wounded shifter as he bounds after it through the underbrush.
OOC: Move to M8, eldritch spear on Shifter (+7 ranged touch -- 3d6+1). Hopefully Darkvision/See Invisibility will help offset the shadowy illumination
