[QUOTE="JustinCase, post: 8400988, member: 6776182"] Caerth takes a step towards the edge where Tarrak and Maur just went down, and the half-orc starts casting another spell. Muttering a few words in Sylvan, the druid traces a circle in the grovely floor before dropping a bit of guano in the middle. A fine mist starts forming over the crevasse, which slowly starts taking the shape of a lot of busily flying bats... Screech hoots and takes off from Caerth's shoulder, circling over the fissure to see what's going on below. [ooc]5-foot step, then cast [URL='https://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/summonSwarm.htm']Summon Swarm[/URL]. I summon a [URL='https://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/swarm.htm#batSwarm']swarm of bats[/URL], which takes my whole round. (Unfortunately the swarm does not benefit from the Augmented Natures Allies racial substitution feature, because that explicitly only effects Summon Natures Ally spells.) As soon as they form, they will attack Tarrak. Yes they will take that 1d6 damage from the Damning Darkness, but they have Blindsense and ignore concealment.
