Hergunna-spider hisses.  She emits an eerie, bubbling laugh.  "Whatever it is, it sure is... intense!"[sblock=Actions]Standard: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2614783/" target="_blank">Thorn whip vs. 1 hp Corpse (1d20+8=25, 1d8+5=12)</a>Move: to I13 (ideally some spot where I can target D15 or E15, but the priest cannot see me... if there is another square that fits that bill I'd rather move there)Minor: Wild Shape (to Spider!)AP: <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2614801/" target="_blank">Primal Spider (w/Action Surge) vs. Priest, D15, E15 (1d20+8+3=29, 1d20+8+3=27, 1d20+8+3=24, 2d8+5=14)</a>  All hits, yay!  (that would have blown to miss after the long windup! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)  14 poison damage to priest, the zombies are immune, boo hoo.  all are immobilized (save ends)[/sblock][sblock=Hergunna stat block]Hergunna- Female Human Druid 5Beast FormPassive Perception: 21, Passive Insight: 21AC:19, Fort:17, Reflex:19, Will:20 -- Speed:7HP:51/51, Bloodied:25, Surge Value:12 (14 in beast form), Surges left:9/9Initiative +5Action Points: 0, Daily Item Uses: 1, Second Wind: Not UsedPowers: Thorn Whip, Call of the Beast, Chill Wind, Savage Rend, Wild ShapeThorn Spray, Resist Energy, Predator's Flurry, Hunter's QuarrySummon Pack Wolf, <s>Primal Spider</s>Death Fang Totem, Enduring Beast Hide Armor, Bracers of Respite[/sblock]</blockquote>
