"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. (MISS) (Battle Standard of Might – P21 burst 5; K16:U26)  [gm] @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=87106" target="_blank">MetaVoid</a> : You are at full hp, copy/paste error. Fixed.[/gm]  Muzdum grins. "Oi! Wait fer me! RRRAAARRGGHH!!!" the dwarf howls as he charges full speed ahead, slamming 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. (CRIT)  [gm] @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=51271" target="_blank">Voda Vosa</a> : Orsik was already at S19. I had you charge to U19 instead.[/gm]  "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... (HIT)     Quan looks at the hunters after listening to Orsik's instructions and then looks at the distance to the other tree creatures. Don't listen to that idiot; the corruption of nature right in front of us is the most dangerous! (Direct Hunters)     The hunters follow the directions of the heroes. They know that their lives rest in their allies’ hands. After the battle standard is planted, the hunter waits until called upon. The two remaining hunters follow Quan’s directions and move towards the twisted treant and attack. (MISS & CRIT)     The enraged treant pushes itself to its feet, as it feels the stinging steel rip into its body. Roaring with anger it lashes out at the flame-bearded dwarf. (HIT & HIT)     The Murder of Crows circles the grove. Its free flowing form streaks down to land near the shifter hunters, many of the birds shift to attack the closest shifter. (HIT)     All of the wood woads advance toward the heroes and their shifter allies, clubs swinging menacingly. One calls upon its nature’s mystery to wrack the elf-now-raven with its twisted nature. Two others manage to charge while the others just move closer while those remaining advance swiftly to enter melee.

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 and from swarm aura  Shifter Hunter 1: 11 damage; OG 5 damage (save ends); 5 necrotic damage (aura @ start of turn)  Shifter Hunter 2: 14 damage; 5 necrotic damage (aura @ start of turn)  Shifter Hunter 4: -     Braddock: -  Quan: +5thp  Orsik: 5 necrotic damage (aura @ start of turn)  Rikka: -2 to all attacks/defenses/saves (save ends – Must make Nature check to avoid -2 penalty to save)  Muzdum: restrained (save ends); 6 damage; OG 5 necrotic (save ends); 5 necrotic damage (aura @ start of turn); 5 damage (OG @ start of turn)[/gm]</blockquote>
