[Adventure]Curious & Curiouser (Judge: Stonegod)

"There is that werebat again," Rikka snarled as the shadowy form fled down the hole the treant had left. Then she turned on the woad facing her- with an earsplitting snarl, she froze the creature in place long enough for her claws to rip most of it's bark-like skin apart...

Braddock takes the massive blow from the woodwoad and then again becomes encased in roots and biting brambles. He takes his right hand and wipes the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"Aye, fey guardian, I underestimated ye. Nice hit. But now. Ye have gone and made me mad!!"

Even though he opens himself up for a blow from the woodwoad, he blasts the woodwoad with black tendrils of eldritch power. The roots and barbs encircling Braddock seep back into the gound, sprouting out around the woodwoad and piercing its wood hide.

Braddock steps back, "Now I'm going to stand here and watch ye die."

[sblock=Controlling the Shifter Hunters]During this encounter, you will be able to use your extra actions (thus losing that action that round) to direct the movements of the shifter hunters. Each round, the hunters will have ONE Standard action. This can be converted to a move action or be used as a melee basic attack (including charge). You can spend your character’s extra actions to give the hunter additional actions as listed below. To be able to direct the shifter hunter’s actions, you MUST be within 2 squares of the hunter your character wishes to control.

(your) Minor Action -> (hunter’s) Move Action (shift, run or move) OR Minor Action (Longtooth Shifting power)

(your) Move Action -> (hunter’s) Move Action (shift, run or move)

(your) Standard Action -> (hunter’s) Move Action (shift, run or move) AND Minor Action (Longtooth Shifting power)

*NOTE: Shifter Hunters are considered allies and as such, they can flank with the characters or other shifters. They can also be healed and they are able to use any effects that can effect a PC (i.e. Orsik’s Rune of Mending, etc).

**NOTE: Getting to Know the Hunters: Grants Orsik the ability to give two commands to the shifter hunter he is directing (i.e. initial Standard Action and either a MOVE or MINOR - without needing to spend Orsik's action). The targeted shifter hunter cannot make two attacks during the same given round.

***NOTE: All normal combat rules apply to these creatures.[/sblock]
GM: Summary: I’ll keep track of all OG damage and MBAs by hunters
Shifter Hunter 1: saved
Shifter Hunter 2: -

Braddock: 13 damage (AoO); saved (Fortune Binding)
Quan: -2 penalty to attack rolls, all defenses, and saving throws (save ends)
Orsik: missed
Rikka: saved; +15+6 hp
Muzdum: -2 penalty to attack rolls, all defenses, and saving throws (save ends); 15 damage; 5 OG damage (@SNT - OG 5 and immobilized (save ends both)
 

Now that the battle was winding down, Rikka began to think ahead. She trotted over to the hole in the ground, then shifted back to her elven form to get something out of her pack. Looking down, she hurled a sunrod into the well...

[sblock= OOC]
>Move: to V 14
>Minor: Wild Shape to elf
>Minor: draw sunrod (and activate- no action listed)
>Free: drop sunrod down hole. Since the werebat flew down, it isn't like they won't know we're coming
[/sblock]
 

Muzdum uses his superior body mass to push the woad down the hole in the dirt as well, and kill it the same way he killed the other one. "Down ye go lad!" the dwarf says, before a deaf noise of struggling.
 

Quan reforms and quickly slides over to trip one Woad while slamming the other to the ground. Rikka, where are you off to sweetie?

[sblock=actions]Free: Nature check
Minor: Wildshape to elf, shift to S17
Move: Shift to T16
Standard: Dragon's Tail vs Woad 4 HIT, knocked prone
Free: Flurry 5 damage to Woad 5 dead
Save?
