[Scott DeWar]

according to post 670, Caerwyn was 5 feet away from the caryatid column.

OOC: I like the placement of Uulark, too. Thanks, likewise.

Buurt and Rogash impale the chaos beast with a volley of arrows as the thing moves up behind the animated column. It strikes out at the moving stone, but if the statue even recognized the attack, she didn't acknowledge it as she moved up to swing her massive sword at the fleet-footed half-orc. Fortunately, Buurt managed to sidestep the blade as well as her seconday attack--a slap with her hard, stony hand.

a rules based change in plans

"Animated stone. Just great.Well, lets see if it is worse then a zombie."

OOC: assuming that the statue moves the 5 feet to caerwyn

1d20+13=14, 1d20+7=18, 2d6+8=16, 2d6+7=15

Melee Full Atk: Greatsword +13/+8 (2d6+7, 19-20/x2)

[something tells me they both miss. I could glance at my available resources to find out, but I feel that is cheating]

for the record, Caerwyn will have to move more the 5 feet so there for he can take only his first attack. ignore the second attack, please. he will have moved to (I9) to make his attack.

[sblock=OOC]I assumed you'd want to modify your actions since your intended target moved. Thanks for updating.[/sblock]

Uulark Simental

The brave Uulark moves to L9 next to Shai, and hides behind the column while he readies his spear.

 

[jkason]

Shaimon Hu'u, barbaric human druid

As the statue attacks Buurt, Shai frowns.

"Not for the critter, then," he says. "Maybe if the door woke it up ... " his words trail off. A quick whistle from Shai perks up his wolf's ears, and a quick jerk of his chin sends the wolf running around the melee toward the now-open door.

With Dyspeer off, the woodsman turns his attention back to the battle. He drops his bow and steps forward, grabbing up his warhammer in both hands. Even as he does so, his fingernails seem to grow more pointed, his shoulders add bulk, and the toothy grin he displays has a definite fanged aspect. A low growl issues from his throat as he says, "Now, stony lass, time for some smashing..."

[sblock=OOC]I'm not sure 'shut door' is on Dyspeer's official 'trick' list, but it seems like it's no more complicated than a bull rush, which is an attack, so I'm hoping that's okay to assume a free action for the handling. It's unclear to me if he'll be able to actually do it this round, since he's swinging out of reach of the statue (row 5?), but figured Dys's movement's better than Shai's by a wide margin, and Shai's probably best in melee with something that won't turn him to goo.

The fluff may be confusing, since Shai's actually raging, not wildshaping. Since he's moving to a build that won't have rage but a lot more animal traits, figured I'd start integrating the rage as an 'animal aspect'. In any case, free actions to drop bow and rage, draw weapon as part of movement to J8, then an attempt at Shai Smash:

2-handed ragey warhammer attack (1d20+11=17, 1d8+8=12)

AC 17 (+2 Barkskin, -2 rage). [/sblock]
