Magic Kingdom For Sale* (*Some Assembly Required)

Trekt roars out of his bedroll, nearly tripping on the small curled up form that is Grik, who scrambles to his feet. The two look around bewildered, and reach for their weapons, awaiting a better glimpse of whatever the thing is.

OOC: +11 Trekt, +13 Grik spot checks if needed

Allyra

Allyra's magically enhanced eyes glance into the darkness and try to discern, what is causing the disturbance, while she is slowly moving away from it.


OOC: Move 10 ft.; Knowledge (nature?) +10; Allyra has Deeper Darkvision running (among other spells).
 

Rezomael gets up, and shakes his head to clear his mind. He looks around at the darkness and then casts Darkvision at himself. "Something big!", he says to nobody in particular while readying his trusted nagaika.
 

*Phaeder uses his wand to produce a magical shield about himself, and draws his weapons. Allyra gazes into the darkness, seeing no less than six, huge, tree-like forms, almost ten feet high, lumber into the heart of camp, right towards you.*

*Smaller, spikier versions of these creatures seem to harry your followers, clawing at them with sharp, stick-like claws. The large tree-creatures are no less than forty feet away from you!*

Initiative:
Razor Leaf Swarm - 22
Phaeder - 19

Ishkabar - 13

"Wha... Ten gallons of ale!" Drakkon will roar as he is violently turned from his slumber.

"M'lord, we're under attack!" Ishkabar will yell, moments before starting a prayerful chant.

*Ishkabar will cast Righteous Might on himself. His height doubles, his weight increases by a factor of eight. This increases him to a Large creature, and gives him a +8 bonus to Strength and +4 size bonus to Con (he'll gain 18 HP). He also gains DR 5/evil, as well as +4 natural armor. This takes a standard action. He then draws his longsword and prepares to recieve an attack.*

*Drakkon will cast upon himself Divine Favor, giving him +2 to attack and damage rolls. He will also hold action, preparing to strike the beasts with his blade should they close.*
 

Allyra

“There are six of them, and the smaller ones.”

Keeping herself behind the more fighting capable Hex members, Allyra begins to speak words of arcane might accompanied by accurately performed hand gestures. Suddenly, a cloud of shiny golden particles erupts in the air around the bulk of the attackers and covers some of them with sparkling dots.


OOC: Casting Glitterdust on as many of the tree-hulks as possible; move as necessary to stay out of harms way.
 

"Whoa! Crap!" *Phaeder exclaims, as the tree-things come into his sight.* Scintillating display of wit and language there, Phaeder... and I really hope those aren't treants that we've pissed off somehow, *part of him thinks to himself, but the rest of him is too busy backpedaling to put some distance between himself and the beasties... despite Anshul's urgings, he knew he was not cut out for being in the thick of melee. Before the whole encounter degenerates into total violence, he yells out to the tree-creatures,* "I don't suppose we can ask why you're attacking us? Have we offended you somehow?" *Regardless, he takes the time to mutter a few musical-sounding words to himself that has no visible effect.*

[OOC: Ehr, can't tell if Phaeder took his action yet or not but this will apply on his next action, whenever it is. Move action away from tree-things (towards Allyra, since there's a spell he might want to use on her later that requires Close range), free action to yell while backing up, standard action to cast harmony (PGtF) on himself.]
 


*The razor-sharp leaves swirl about the camp, causing shallow wounds that bleed freely. Several people begin to wretch from the attack, Ishkabar amongst them. His spell is lost, along with his lunch, dinner, and previous day's breakfast. Phaeder backs up, moving towards Allyra, and begins to sing his magic.*

*Allyra weaves her spell of glittering motes in the air, clearly outlining three of the tree-creatures in golden dust. Trekt smiles when he sees the creatures outlined, and prepares himself to strike when they get within range. Shal, however, has no need to wait, and calls down fire from the heavens to burn the closest of the creatures. Amazingly for something so large, it seems to wrench itself partly out of the way, but its bark smolders nevertheless.*

*Seeing Allyra's success, Rezomael lets fly a bolt of lightning straight at the creature. Again it seems to dodge part of it, but now it sports a nasty-looking burn mark on one side. It moans terribly, sounding like a voice from the bottom of some forsaken chasm.*

*Grik lets fly with an arrow, which bypasses the tree creature, but instead finds itself buried inside one of the little tree critters. Ishkabar simply groans in obvious discomfort, and goes to one knee to make himself less of a target in his distress. However, those in the camp that remain on their feet are making a good accounting for themselves. It seems someone has passed out the axes used for firewood, and people are using them to good effect on the little twig creatures. However, they are far from harmless, as three mob one man, clawing deeply into his skin with their sharp little twig-claws.*

*Drakkon calls upon the Strength of Kord to empower him during this battle, and seems to grow larger in stature. Now the tree-creatures close in from all sides, running in, their massive limbs swinging with the force of a forge hammer. Three come straight for the party, and three others linger just outside the cutting arc of a weapon. Trekt takes his blow as they come within range of his axe, cutting away a portion of the fire and lightning-blasted creature.*

*The three who hesitated suddenly open their maws and breathe out an ungodly stench of rot and decay from within their trunks. All but Trekt, Grik, and Ishkabar are caught in the fetid cloud. Shal, Allyra, and Phaeder all feel a terrible twisting in their guts, a feeling of sickness.*

*Two lumber in to strike at Drakkon and Ishkabar, though both miss in their enthusiasm, clanging off the priests' armor. The third, however, lands a solid blow upon Trekt, as if in retaliation for being set on fire and struck by lightning.*

OOC -

Initiative:
Razor Leaf Swarm - 22
Phaeder - 19
Allyra - 18
Trekt - 17 (higher Dex)
Shal - 17
Rezomael - 15
Grik - 14
Ishkabar - 13
The Rest of Camp - 10
Little Tree Critters - 9
Drakkon - 5
Tree Creatures - 4

2 points of damage to everyone from the swarm. Ishkabar is nauseated (failing his Fort save with a 9). Phaeder moves and casts harmony. Allyra gets a 36 on her Concentration check and catches three Tree Creatures. Trekt readies an action. Shal casts flame strike on one of them, it makes it Ref save with a 22, and takes only 22 points of damage (half of 45). Rezomael casts lightning bolt at the same one, the creature makes its save with a 24, and takes 23 points of damage (half of 47). Grik fires his shortbow, hitting a 16 and missing. The rest of the camp fights, and the little twig critters fight back. Drakkon makes his concentration check and casts divine favor. Trekt takes his attack, hitting a 33 for 7 points of damage. Then the trees do their attacking. Shal, Allyra, and Phaeder all fail a Fort save and are sickened (-2 to attack rolls, weapon damage rolls, saving throws, skill checks, and ability checks). One misses attacking Drakkon with a 23, one misses Ishkabar with a 15, and one hits Trekt with a 27 for 18 points of damage.
 

Allyra

“I will see, if I can slow them down some,” Allyra says while moving up into the air. Staying away from them and outside of the creatures' reach, she maneuvers into a position from where she can reach as many of them as possible with her spell.


OOC: Flying (Overland Flight) into position, if one move (40 ft.) is enough, casting Slow down on the tree-hulks, otherwise moving further to prepare for the spell next round.

One question: Did you save for blindness from the Glitterdust? Not sure, if it would hinder them, just havn't seen it mentioned anywhere, so I thought I'd ask.
