"Unnatural, might be fey. I'd say this is the right place," Rikka growled softly. Stopping right at the edge of the clearing (and NOT going any further in just yet), she shifted briefly back into her elven form- long enough to draw her bow and sink an arrow into the suspect tree...

"Let me try that knocking with something more...direct."
Orsik takes sizeable branch weighting at least 30 pounds and swings a throw at the tree.
Giantkind gauntlets power attack; damage (1d20+10=19, 2d6+5=12) - forgot, it's against AC

The shifter hunters seem unsure as these crazed adventurers strike out at the heart of the Taboo Grove. The elven druid’s arrow speeds forth to hit the tree, then Orsik’s improvised missile sails through the air hitting the tree’s truck, but shatters on impact.
Without warning, the elf growls deeply. Something begins to rustle in the surrounding foliage. Six creatures, themselves part of the forest animated, and step into the clearing. Rikka knows that these creatures are called wood woads, but these creatures look and smell different. Suddenly the large tree dominating the center of the grove begins to violently shake! From the branches overhead, a cloud of crows lift off to circle the tree. One of tree’s roots bursts free from the soil, spraying loose dirt around it. Branches lower from their raised position to form monstrous arms. Two crazed, demented eyes open on the tree’s massive trunk. As the huge tree starts to shamble towards you, you notice a ring of quarried stone surrounding a tunnel boring straight down, lying where the crazed treant was planted.
All thoughts of placating this fey beast are forgotten as it roars unintelligibly, beginning to raise its branch-like arms to strike at the closest hunter. Roots and branches shoot forth wrapping the doomed hunter and begin to war with each other, until finally the rip the shift apart, bloody gore dripping to the forest floor.

[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.

DESTRUCTION: all allies gain +1 to hit enemies adjacent to Orsik (treant)
Everyone within 5 of P21 has +1 power bonus to damage - note that this will NOT stack with Orsiks various bonuses...
Orsik moves forward, taking a swing at the tree.
"Hunters, hold those other trees off for a moment. Muzdum, let's see how resistant this thing is to chopping, shall we? Everyone, let's focus on the big one first.
You, Black Claw, come here. Take this banner and plant it behind our fallen. Let his spirit carries us to victory."
The hunter nods brusquely, retrieves the standard and firmly plants it behind him. As it unfurls everyone feels their strength raises ever so slightly.
[sblock=Actions]
Minor: Hunter 4 moves to O23 and retrieves Battle Standard of Might from Orsik's back
OOC: Can he plant it for his standard action?
Hunter 4 Standard: plant Battle Standard of Might in P21
Move: S19
Standard:Word of Diminishment vs AC (Treant); damage (1d20+12=20, 2d6+6=16) - miss
[/sblock]
[sblock=Tactics]
[MENTION=51271]Voda Vosa[/MENTION], if you can position Muzdum so he gets adjacent to treant and maybe crows attack him in the next round (U 19 for example). I would drop blast three Cage if Ligth so it centers on you, blinding them, giving CA disabling shifting away.
[MENTION=6672544]jsb420[/MENTION], why is Orsik not on full hp?

Muzdum grins. "Oi! Wait fer me! RRRAAARRGGHH!!!" the dwarf howls as he charges full speed ahead, slaming his axe on the corrupted treant. The impact force sends the plant staggering to the ground. "Aye, this things are weak against axe cuts, hump!." the dwarf chuckles.
Move to S19, Takedown attack vs Treant, Critical hit! 24 dmg and the treant is knocked prone.

"No good with them spread out like this," Rikka growled as she snapped off another arrow, this time at one of the wood woads. Then she took a long sideways step- and in mid-leap shifted, not to the familiar panther, but to a tiny raven, which fluttered for the treetops...
