The caller continues to pound the minds of Castile and Kane, ever more brutally as its situation becomes more desperate.The thorny plant skewers Takahaan and drags him roughly through the undergrowth, but doesn’t get him very far. The zombie-plant, which so far has made no impression on Benjamin’s hide, grabs the toad and tears at him, inflicting a horrible festering wound.[sblock=actions and rolls] <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=V9LURA7P" target="_blank">twig 2 blighted claw vs AC, Kane; damage</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=V9LURA7P" target="_blank">2(1d20) +6 = 8; 3(2d6) +6 = 9</a> misses Kane.The caller takes <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=RUEBMDN6" target="_blank">flaming sphere damage</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=RUEBMDN6" target="_blank">1(1d4) +4 = 5</a> +10 vulnerability = 15 damage from the flaming sphere and becomes bloodied. <a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=FVRYKWJ4" target="_blank">caller psychic lance vs Will, Castile; Kane; damage (+4 bloodied)</a><a href="http://dice.brainclouds.net/Result.aspx?ID=FVRYKWJ4" target="_blank">19(1d20) +6 = 25; 14(1d20) +6 = 20; 3(1d6) +4 +4 = 11</a> hits both Castile and Kane for 11 psychic and they are dazed until the end of their next turn.

If your passive Perception is not high enough, you may make a Perception roll as a minor action, once per round, to attempt to locate them.Terrain RulesThe dark green terrain is heavy undergrowth. It is difficult terrain. A small creature, or one who is prone, gains concealment while in heavy undergrowth if there is at least one square of heavy undergrowth intervening between it and an observer. If there are at least two squares of heavy undergrowth intervening, the creature gains total concealment.The light brown areas are relatively clear and count as normal terrain.The dark brown circles are trees; they are blocking terrain.[/sblock][sblock=Controlling Ishirou]Companion NPCs in CombatAny PC can take a standard, move, or minor action to have an NPC perform an action of the same (or a lesser) type. E.g., if you want Ishirou to use his Eagle Claw Strike attack, you spend a standard action. If you want him to move, you spend a move action. An NPC is limited to the usual number of actions each round (but those actions need not all be granted by the same PC). An NPC who has an immediate action can likewise only use it if a PC has an immediate action available to use on his/her behalf.NPCs can take free actions and opportunity actions normally, without the direction of PCs. They are always considered to have their weapons in hand and don’t need to spend actions unsheathing them.If all of the PCs act in a given round without giving any actions to a particular NPC, I will have that NPC take one non-offensive action. This will most likely be Second Wind if it is needed and available, and movement or Total Defense if it is not. (It won’t be necessary for PCs to spend their own standard actions to have NPCs use second wind.)[/sblock][sblock=Ishirou’s powers and stats]IshirouHP 17/24, Bloodied 12, Surge value 6; Surges 6/7AC 16, Fort 14, Reflex 16, Will 12Skills: Acrobatics +9, Athletics +8, Perception +6Striker: 1/round, Ishirou can deal 1d6 extra damage when he hits an enemy he has CA against.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" /> katana +8 vs. AC, 1d10+3 damageSteel Wind (Attack) (standard; full discipline, implement, psionic; close blast 2, each enemy Ishirou can see in blast)Attack: +5 vs. ReflexHit: 1d8+4 damage.Steel Wind (Movement) (move; full discipline, psionic; personal)Effect: Ishirou is no longer marked.
