Taboo Grove – Round 3

Round 1
Round 2 [/sblock]
Looks like we should stay back. Quan's skin peels back from the necrotic energies from the corrupt tree. He shows clear vision though, when he slams iron hard hands into the bark of both the giant and small tree-men. Back-flipping out of harm's way, the battered elf changes into a swarm of flies. (HIT & CRIT)
Muzdum discharges blow after blow on the giant tree creature, but fails to penetrate the hard bark. However, he keeps the treant focused on him. "Hey! Somebody take that bugger off my back would ye?" he asks. (MISS)
"Ach! I can't see the damn tree through all de blasted birds!" Pecked and bit, Braddock steps back from the commotion."Ye damn fools, Xandor hates birds!" He levels his craghammer, glowing fiercely purple. A loud blast of screams and cries and noise comes blasting from the craghammer, buffeting the crows and the nearby wood woad. (HIT & CRIT)
Rikka swooped down to the ground, shifting to her leopard form as she did. With a snarl, she lunged towards one of the wood woads. Her raking claws ripped through the creature's bark-like skin, sending chunks flying- the leopard hardly slowed, spinning past the woad and pouncing on the treant...(HIT; AP: HIT & MISS; Elven Accuracy HIT)
Orsik moves closer to the shifters, trying to protect them, but at the last moment he remembers to sustain Cage of Light. In momentary confusion, his maul slams between the roots instead of the trunk of the treant. (MISS; Sustain)
The hunters all strike out at the foes they are facing. (HIT, MISS & MISS)
The Wicker-Man, reeling from all the ongoing attacks, is confused for a moment, then gathers itself and lashes out in rage at Muzdum, the thorn in its side. (HIT)
The wood woads lay about with devastating efficiency. One shifter folds over, never to rise again, while the others distribute Nature’s (Dark) Wrath. (HIT, HIT, HIT, MISS & HIT)
