When enemies throw area spells, we spread out, we don't get closer together. Get the heck out of here." Sheeva shouts in exasperation.Being distracted by Pok's movement and subsequent injury, Sheeva misses the Snake with her Lightning before her darkness fades.River hold on the effect of his goddess without doing anything else.Valahad brings his blade up againt the scaled one. The kalashtar ducks beneath the snapping jaws and slashes into the muck-covered scales of the creature's leg. The paladin's blow gives hope to River, who glows with golden light. It was the turning of the battle...and the age.  Pok concentrates his attempt to harass the eyes and bodies of bugs and crocodile alike. The winged mosquito horde is almost visible even to those not affected by his spell. Pok concentrates his will power on the spell, pushing through the harmful hex of the snake creature. Feall shifts his Ki to his Falchion and quickly flicks two Shrouds over the Shambling Mound. Using the narrow branch on which he's perched as a springboard, the Assassin <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2432601/" target="_blank">leaps (1d20+12=31)</a> from the tree and lands neatly beside his enemy, burying his blade deep within the writhing mass of vegetation.He feels a piece of the creature's soul detach and flow up his black blade, creating an inescapable connection between assassin and target.Following up quickly on his first attack, the young Drow flickers from sight and reappears instantly on the Mound's other side, driving his Falchion once more deep into the Shambling Mound' mass.Closing his eyes for just a moment, Kortauhk feels the energy of the storms above him build.  With a shout, Kortauhk opens his eyes and strikes out at the Croc, pushing his blade under the beasts overlapping scales.  As he does so, Kortauhk is struck by a large bolt of lightning.  The storm wrought energy travels the length of the warden's arm and courses through the Croc, while a a secondary bolt of energy arcs from Kortauhk to the mass of bugs that swarms near him, charging the water all around the insects, threatening to cook them through or launch them onto their backs.  Immediately after the lightning strikes, a thunderous burst explodes from Kortauhk and batters his foes. The bugs disperse as the lightning/thunder strikes themThe mound continues to battle Feall, one tendril slapping the drow hard, but the other splashes harmlessly in the water.[sblock=ooc]<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2437651/" target="_blank">vs ac; dmg (1d20 12=32,  1d8 6=10, 1d20 12=20,  1d8 6=14)</a> one crit, one miss, 9 damage after resist[/sblock]The snake throws another ball of lightning that slams into Valahad and River for a devastating blow.

The common variety envelops its prey and crushes it with its rootlike tendrils. Shamblind Mounds recover their vitality quickly. The insects are known as Swamp Striders and they carry a deadly poison when they bite. They are considered a delicacy for some nobles when properly roasted.[sblock=Nature DC 20]Shambling mounds are healed by lightning. They can envelop lesser sized creatures and drain their strength.
