Any creature that starts its turn  within the zone takes 5 cold damage and is slowed (save ends).Move Action:  Moves 1 square to G9Action Point:  Thorny Vines and Shadow Claws combo + Wrath of Nature Trait (allied enemy takes a standard action - Swarm will move to Lucann's square)Thorny Vinesvs Lucann (12 + 17 = 29 vs 29 AC; miss) Shadow Clawsvs Lucann (16 + 15 = 31 vs 21 Ref; hit) 12 cold damage, and Lucann is immobilized and takes a -2 penalty to attack rolls until the end of the dryad’s next turn.Wrath of Nature- Venemous SwarmsS2 Standard Action:  Fangs and Stingers:vs Lucann (natural 1)- The Zone AoE causes S1 to take 15 cold damage (vuln 10 AoE + 5 for starting turn in zone) and it is slowed (save ends).S1 Move Action to G10 (This will put you in its aura   @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=386" target="_blank">LostSoul</a>  causing you 8 poison damage at the beginning of your turn).S2 Standard Action:  Fangs and Stingers:vs Lucann (4 + 15 + 2 for CA due to daze = 21 vs 21 Ref; hit) 9 Poison damage and 5 ongoing  poison damage (save ends).- Quinn you are up.  Remember, 8 poison from swarm aura, 5 cold damage from Swarming Shadows and slow (save ends).After you are done, we are going to need to hold until the Action Scene with the King's Fate is worked on.  The earliest Thurgon and Theron can arrive is the beginning of round 3 (if 3 things go correct in a row) with the latest being round 5.  Pemerton seems a wee bit MIA right now so we may be a few days in wait so just stand by after LostSoul commits to his action here.FYI for any onlookers, as you can tell, this is an extremely deadly fight.  This is a BBEG fight which is the equivalent of a n + 4 level encounter for 3 PCs (Lackey included).  Deadly but doable for PCs loaded to bear with most of their dailies, APs, and most of their surges.  Given the 1st two rounds (down to 2 PCs, losses in the action economy game and friendly fire!) we may be looking at a TPK!  If the King dies upstairs we would have a clean sweep for the bad guys!  Maybe Lucann and Quinn can rally or hold out until Thurgon and Theron arrives.  Not looking good for the good guys.  Maybe Lucann dies and Quinn convinces the dryad to betray the dragon and forgo its onslaught of the city.  Stay tuned...</blockquote>
