[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 5428792, member: 40413"] [b]Round One continues...[/b] The plant men resemble halflings except their skin has the soft, dead white look of mushrooms and their hair is a tangled mass of vines. Three of the four visible wear armor with thorny vines woven through and around it and carry small but vicious looking longspears. When Pari moves a couple of steps up the stair, the plant man [1] at the top of the stairs jabs down into the stairwell at him but misses. Pari sees a second plant man waiting just off to the left. When Pari gets within the second one’s sight it throws a tangled mass of vines at him which explodes around him in a fury of whipping vines. The sticky vines wrap around the unlucky gnome holding him to the floor and preventing his movement. A third creature, blocked from view by virtue of standing far enough back from the stair that he couldn’t be seen, dashes forward and thrusts down into the stairwell at the big cat behind Pari. The spear thuds home in the tiger's heavily muscled shoulder. A fourth of these creatures steps out from behind the one at the top of the stairs. A small stone engulfed in green flames circles the things head. It taps an intricate pattern of beats upon the wall before thrusting his arm out towards Pari. Something seems to move beneath his skin until a large thorn erupts from his flesh to fly to the pinned gnome striking and piercing him. [color=gray]Round One continues. Need actions for the party.[/color] [sblock=Pari’s Knowledge Check]Pari knows these plant men as Vegepygmies. They are formed from a fungus and the corpse of its victim and are usually quite savage but these particular Vegepygmies have exceptionally fine gear. The fungus only forms on rare specimens and these don’t appear to carry it. In addition, vegepygmies are highly resistant to piercing attacks.[/sblock] [sblock=OOC]The first two Vegepygmies take readied actions when Pari gets within their view/range. After Pari moves on up the second two vegepygmies take their readied actions. Pari is glued in place and cannot complete the actions as described in your post, Mowgli. The stairs count as difficult terrain. The wall between the stairs and the room count as an obstacle in the hex at the top of the stairs. Hexes further down the stairs also count as an obstacle and will require a skill check of some sort to pass. You can, of course, navigate the stairs however you wish. Marching order: Pari, Tagaiwi, Garnet, Mariah?, Heinrich?, Giocco. Not sure about Mariah and Heinrich's order.
