[Adventure]: Land Ho! FWBTHW (DM:H.M.Gimlord,Judge:Ozymandias79)

Tikchik cries out as the thri-kreen is hit again and focuses his anger on the plant. He steps forward to where the bundle of vines are knocked down and like the creature he is combating lashes out from all angles with his twin blades.

One blow lands a vicious wound and green ichor is left on Tikchik's blade.

[sblock=Actions]
Minor: quarry the vine
Move: shift to E9 (I think to get next to vine)
Standard: Lashing Leaves on Vine - lashing leaves on vine (incl. +2 CA for it being prone) (1d20+15+2=27, 1d10+9=10, 1d20+15+2=37, 1d10+9=14, 1d6=3) 1 miss & 1 crit for 25+crit gm (2d6=9) = 34 + free off-hand attack from Harmony Blade
free off-hand MBA (1d20+15+2=26, 1d10+9=18) miss.

So a hit for 34 damage.

Max's forceful display pushes the vine away from the recess in the rock revealing a corridor that penetrates for a small distance.

The fire, conjoured by Phoenix illuminates the corridor revealing an antechamber not too far beyond the mouth of the corridor.[sblock=Riardon]You notice a lever protruding from the wall of the corridor just inside the entrance.[/sblock]They barely have time to take in the sight, and the vine goes on the offensive once more. The twisting mass of fiberous strands sends tendrils out to bind TikChik and Gensai tightly. More thorns cut further into the flesh of the two bound victims as well as Riardon.

As if things were not bad enough, Phoenix hears a blood-curdling howl from behind, but the warning comes too late. The last thing she sees before everything goes dark is grey muzzle, and a mass of jagged teeth.

Three large wolves have descended upon the group. The first of these bromgs Phoenix to the ground. The other two leap out of their hiding places in the forest, biting deeply into Sheng and Max, leaving both barely able to stand.

The first wolf begins to drag the unconscious body of Phoenix toward the edge of the clearing, presumably to have its meal in peace while the others vie for their food.[sblock=Enemy Actions]Ambush Vine:

[/sblock][sblock=Terrain]The forest and obstacles in the clearing are difficult terrain, unless you have Wild Step or Forest Walk.

The forest provides total concealment.

The rock wall is rough, natural stone, but has no obvious stopping places. It can be climbed with an athletics DC 25 (no DC for creatures with Spider Climb or Burrow). Creatures without Spiderclimb/Burrow who are on the wall grant CA and suffer a penalty of -5 to magical attacks that require a weaopon or implement. MM, obviously, is still an automatic hit.[/sblock][sblock=Map] [/sblock][sblock=Ambush Vine]

Max feebly raises his arms to defend himself against the oncoming wolf-train and suddendly he's seveal feet away, and the bracers he found two weeks ago are shining. The confused wolf stands ten feet away from him.

He barely hears Riardon shouting something about helping Phoenix. Almost instinctively, Max conjures several illusionary balls and throws them away.

”FETCH!”

The wolves canine instincts obey Max's hypnotic voice and they dart away from the group after the balls. One is lost out of sight in the woods, the other two fight to bite the unsubstantial balls.

”We need to get into the cave and get away from them! There are too many! I’ll try to clear a way!”

Saying that he casts one of his most powerful spells. A sparkling movement can be seen near the stairs, the pure essence of temptation distilled from any physical source. It has a profound effect on some of the enemies, which run towards it and start caressing it ignoring everything else. Max uses the opportunity to move into the cave


[sblock=actions]
Immediate interrupt: when attacked by the wolf, use Bracers of escape to teleport to G14. Wolf attack fails since it's now beyond melee range, and so Max isn't prone.
AP-Standard action: Beguiling strands covering the area from H11 to L15. With the bonuses from Riardon’s tactical presence, it hits all packwolves. They take 8 damage, take a -2 penalty to hit Max until the end of their next turn and are pushed 7 squares to O4 (packwolf 3), O11 (packwolf 1) and N13 (packwolf 2)
Standard action: Visions of avarice centered on J8. The initial effect hits the vine, one vine shoot and packwolf 3. Disregard the roll against packwolf 2, I discovered too late I couldn’t push it to a square where it could be hit by visions of avarice without breaking the push rules. The monsters hit are pulled to their current positions, take a -2 penalty to hit Max until the end of my next round and are Immobilized (Save ends). Max gains combat advantage against the vine TENT (gloves property)
Move: To B11

after turn: Spend a HS (Riardon's Stand the fallen), +13 HP[/sblock]

With the mess of vines suddenly moving away from him Tikchik is puzzled, but advances on it "I'll hold them off", knowing that the sentient plant is dangerous. He begins hacking away with abandon, a quartet of strikes in the blink of an eye, but all the thri-kreen manages to do is tear off a few leaves.

"Uh, oh. This may be how I lose my other arm" Tikchik deadpans.

[sblock=OOC]
I'd started this post before Someone posted his actions. It's tactical suicide, but I felt bad as I'd already rolled all the crappy rolls...

Sheng blinks out of existence in the moment the wolf was going to bite him, leaving a cloud of noxious vapour behind. He materializes on the other side of the door. He then takes the posture of the spitting dragon, unleashing a fiery inferno of green flames from his mouth over the attacking vegetables. He then moves inside, next to the lever.
"Get inside! With all haste!"

Phoenix staggers back to her feet, glaring at the foes with malice.

"I have a friend that looks more like you that you might want to meet," she says, summoning a hellish wolf from some burning plane with a gesture.

She detonates a blast of flame on the largest concentration of foes, leaving a scorched patch of earth and the smell of burning fur as her hellhound unleashes another.
