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.

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: 5 necrotic damage (Treant aura @SNT)  Shifter Hunter 2: 5 necrotic damage (Treant aura @SNT)  Shifter Hunter 4: 17 damage; 5 damage (OG 5) and immobilized (save ends both); 5 OG damage @SNT and dies     Braddock: +6thp; 13 damage; 5 damage (OG 5 @SNT) and immobilized (save ends both)  Quan: -  Orsik: 5 necrotic damage (Treant aura @SNT)  Rikka: missed; 5 necrotic damage (Treant aura @SNT)  Muzdum: 11 damage; 11 damage; 5 necrotic damage (OG 5 necrotic - save ends); 5 necrotic damage (Treant aura @SNT); restrained (save ends)  [/gm]</blockquote>
