Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mal Malenkirk" data-source="post: 5200758" data-attributes="member: 834">The thorn bushes go in a frenzy and are worse than Pirahnas.  The entire crew are cut and bruised by the poisonous vines.The swarm of ant has a mystical quality to it and an alluring song is emitted in concert by the miniature critters.  The magic is directed at Renquist but the undead paladin is deaf and unmoved to their enticements.  The swarm then moves to towaard and are crawling all over Abigail.The crazy lady howls in laughter, then sends a powerful magic missiles Ibram's way before dropping to the ground.  Apparently, crazy and self-preservation aren't mutually exclusive.[sblock=OOC]SC can't flank.  If SC and an ally are surrounding an enemy, there is no flanking bonus for either spirit attacks or the ally.However, if Nementah is flanking an enemy with an ally, she gets flanking bonus even with a spirit attack originating from a 'non-flanking' square.That's my ruling, anyway.  *hammer falls*PS: What Nature's aspect have you chosen for the encounter?
