Maod concentrates, a stern look on his draconic face, and calls upon holy powers to smite the tendril'd tree, then turns, flies back under the plate of the victory zone, splashes into the water and sinks out of sight.
Std: SLA Smite Evil defensively.
MEA: to 100n25e0z then to 100n25e-30z.
OOC: Got it - I was being silly and not accounting for the tree's height. Duh!
OOC2: Yeah, Maod is all over the threatened space with that move, coming within 15 feet at 85n75e0z if that makes any difference for the Ironmaw's capabilities. I'm just hoping that the tree continues to fail to do anything with those AoOs - or that the Holy Smite will blind him and make the AoO's go away entirely.
