Xak advances, challenging the shambling mound with Kord's power. But his lack of aggression causes the divine challenge to falter and fade.
[sblock]The Divine Challenge ends since Xak did not engage - attack or end adjacent to - the shambler. Xak can't use Divine Challenge on his next turn.[/sblock]
The Feygrove Choker gestures, and tiny weeds around your feet suddenly grow into vines. Tharos, likely predicting the attack thanks to his knowledge of the creature's abilities, is already striking the vines away even as they grow. Reed's feybound powers also protect him. The others are caught off guard and bound in place - for the moment.
Then the creature scuttles away into the underbrush to the north, its coloration altering to blend in.
[sblock]Standard: Use Vine Fetter, versus Reflex
Erdric = R 27 HIT
Narbel = 32 HIT
Tharos = 24 MISS
Torment = 34 HIT
Reed = 20 MISS
HIT: Restrained (save ends)
[sblock=Restrained]You grant combat advantage. You’re immobilized.
You can’t be forced to move by a pull, a push, or a
slide.
You take a –2 penalty to attack rolls.[/sblock]
MISS: Nothing
Move Action: Move NEx2, Nx6 with forest walk
Minor: Use chamleon Hide. Gain concealment.[/sblock]
(Other enemies delay, so they can move with the battle briars)
Starwinds moves foward and blesses the group.
A Briar Witch Dryad steps foward from behind a tree and south, replying in eerie voice, "One current blows into another; we will oppose your intrusion; Men must not be allowed to interfere with the work."
She flings a thorn at Starwinds, but the agile dragonborn bats it aside with her enchanted shield. The Dryad then gestures for the other plants to attack.
[sblock]Stealth was 30. Since Erdric was more than 10 squares away, the penalty prevented him from noticing.
Move Action: move south.
Standard Action: Briar Cage at Starwinds. 19. Miss[/sblock]
The battlebriars move foward, the left one taking a protective position in front of the dryad witch, and the other moving into the brush and flanking the paladin. At her gesture, they attack in a coordinated fashion, and not even Xak's heavy armor can protect him. However, the stubborn dwarf is able to resist being jerked towards the left monster.
[sblock]BBs move as shown. Left one readies for right one to attack. I think that they flank since any square that they occupy can set up flanking.
BB 2: Attacks.
1d20+21; 1d8+11 → [16,21] = (37) HIT
1d20+21; 1d8+11 → [5,11] = (16)
1d20+21; 1d8+11 → [16,21] = (37) HIT
1d20+21; 1d8+11 → [8,11] = (19)
BB 1's pull effect fails against the dwarf.
35 Damage to the paladin
Their aura's produce difficult terrain for the PCs.[/sblock]
The left eladrin flutters at the paladin's speech. "Aw, isn't that so heroic? It's too bad we have to do some sort of guarding thing." She approaches the group in a series of teleports.
The rightmost eladrin teleports in a burst of fairy magic, landing in the water northwest of the group. She charges at Starwinds with an indignant yell - "How could they listen to an ugly monster like you over us?!" - and swings a slender arm. Although it looks like a slap to the face from a slender girl, it feels like a hit from a morningstar to the priestess - and that's what the wound looks like too. The girl gives a superior smile, and flexes her hand.
[sblock]Eladrin 1. Move action: teleport SE x 5, S x3.
Standard Action: Charge Starwinds. Attack:
1d20+15; 1d8+14 → [20,15] = (35) CRIT!
1d20+15; 1d8+14 → [1,14] = (15)
22 Damage to Starwinds on a crit, or 15 damage if reduced to a normal hit.
Crit negated by Armor of Bahamut. 15 damage.
Eladrin 2. Double move. Teleport 1 takes her to near BB 2, N + NE of Xak. Teleport 2 takes her to shown location.[/sblock]
The Shambling Mound oozes south, unhindered by the murky water.
[sblock]Double Move. Since it didn't attack anything, it wouldn't have taken Divine Challenge damage anyway.[/sblock]
