Platinus: Celestial Fleshraker, Druid Warshaper
The deep voice of Platinus booms out from the dark in the thickly accented Draconic language.
"Activate douta buala! Supper tairais!"
Slash lets out a shriek as she takes a few powerful steps, while touching the clasp of the cloak around her neck, before launching her from the ground landing next to the ropey beast. As she passes, the claws of both arms and one of her legs rip deeply from the back of the roper's face type area clear around the side of its body, leaving its fanged maw in tatters, ripping the creature off its base. Her barbed tail stabs forward, but it thrown off it aim by the creature hitting the ground. The clear fluid coating her claws seeps into the barrage of ragged striations.
Platinus comes barreling out of the darkness, and into reach of the prone creature. Slash seems reassured by her companion's presence, pressing down on the pinned roper with her stony weight.

[sblock=OOC]FYI, A grappling creature can't make AoO (as the roper is grappling Dargun), Ranged attacks (except crossbows) are not allowed while prone.
Does Platinus issuing an order mean Slash goes on her master's initiative count? Because a 50% miss chance is really going to mess with my tactics.
Can a creature charge during the surprise round? It would seem really stupid if they couldn't. Leaping pounce is through the air and therefore bends the standard charge rules in a couple of ways.
Leaping Pounce says if pinned the creature hit falls prone in my space, so I'm reading that as at least partially in my space and therefore my charge can be partially into its space?
Roper needs to make 3 DC 21 Fort saves. Each Failed means it takes 1d6 Dex dmg (you can roll those).[/sblock]
