[QUOTE="Loonook, post: 5900949, member: 1861"] If you want to go with the 'petal dragon' concept... Personally? I'd take it in a completely different direction than what you have here ;). Make the whole area into a verdant field, rich in grasses, and a constant wind blowing through the field making the grasses move. Two Fey "Hellhounds" (HD reduce to d6, maintain their fiery bites, remove breath weapon, adjust their stats like a half-fey)... I might go as far as to make a Bleed effect occur when they attack if you want to be tricky about it... In lieu of flame the thorns of a Hound of Spring rend flesh. Why did I take everything away? Because I'm going to give them an ability. Lost in Fecundity (Ex) A Hound of Spring acts as if they have [I]freedom of movement[/I] through natural rough terrain or fey-created magic effects. The Hound of Spring is invisible in any area of foliage that would serve as difficult terrain. If it leaves such an area it appears as a large hound wreathed in bright blossoms, with eyes canted like their Fey masters. The board has a clearly delineated path, but the path is overgrown at points, making it a tight squeeze for Medium sized creatures. You can always take the path not traveled... But you're in their domain now ;). They pretty much attack, then 5' into the nearest bushes. The Hounds harry the adventurers, and Fleur has a few of them in tow also (though they are less effective until Fleur uses effects to cause difficult terrain through Plant Growth). When Fleur drops below 50% she triggers the Hounds to call up your Petal Swarm. It's a rough battle, but it's winnable.. And the main threat will run away rather than die to report back to her Lady. Slainte, -Loonook. [/QUOTE]
