One, heavily injured, burrows into the ground and doesn't immediately return. Another grabs Ootah with its hooked limbs, then bites him with a maw full of toxic heat, dropping the ranger again.A third burrows into the ground then rises up again, burning Artemis but fortunately doing little to Ootah's body, still clutched in its fellow's hooks.The last burrows after Brenwar, slamming into the paladin's redoubtable defenses.The big burrower arches itself and dives into the ground, an unstable tide of earth knocking Brenwar about. Massive pincers blast up out of the earth again a short distance away, the burning hot shifting sands slamming Brenwar, Artemis, and Martelai around. So long is its body that its midsection still arches out of the sand nearby, radiating heat. To be caught between both exposed parts is like being trapped in an oven...[GM] @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=88601" target="_blank">FourMonos</a> , Artemis still took 5 fire damage for starting next to the Burrower as its Aura isn't an OA. @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=79956" target="_blank">dimsdale</a> , I shifted Lerrick to O26 since O25 would have required a shift 2. @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=30079" target="_blank">Rapida</a> , Brenwar is up 2 more hp than you had (you applied 3 damage per start-of-turn fire effect instead of 2). @<a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/member.php?u=48394" target="_blank">pathfinderq1</a> , if you want to be sure I see what you have to say, @ mention me - if everyone hasn't gone yet, I usually just skim the rounds to see if anyone did mention me. Spawn 3 was 6 away from Joy, so Inevitable Defeat didn't target it. Spawn 1 couldn't be pulled to Q25 since that would violate the rules of pulling. Pulled it to P25 instead... which meant Spawn 4 couldn't be pulled adjacent to Joy (again, because every square of pull must move the monster closer and that's not possible as they were positioned).I applied Joy's 3 THP on bloodied/killed to Artemis since he bloodied worm 3.I slid Lerrick to P26 so Joy could push worm 4 where she wanted.Note that the Burrower is considered to occupy all the squares of its body for all purposes with the following exceptions: its midsection does NOT provoke OAs. Anywhere its auras overlap, the difficult terrain does NOT stack, but the fire damage DOES.[/GM][sblock=Enemy Actions]Burrower Spawn 1: Stand up. Burrow into ground.
