Dioneo doesn't even look at the man. He says at Zeeta "Let's go back into your office, then."
Hearing the chant, he tries to determine where it comes from and shouts at the person he thinks is casting a spell:
"Show yourself, coward! Face the Baron Starnon's flames with your petty magic, if you dare! Ymeri gave me the ability to turn the flesh to ashes, come and test!"
|
The man in orange screams in terror, rational thought far from his mind.
"I surrender, I surrender"
While the bowman in blue continues his own retreat.
Dion is not too sure about where the voices are coming from... all around.
Most of the fruit sellers have run for cover by now. The winds pick up the voices raised and easily heard by all now.
Despite being indoors, a terrible wind begins blowing through the Green Market, shaking the tree in the central plaza and the many decorations placed in the various stalls. Fruit and vegetables in carts, bins, and baskets shift about as the ground shakes as if an earthquake were hitting.
Hundreds of pounds of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other produce rise from the adjoining stalls to fly dangerously fast in a swirling tornado around the center court. They coalesce into hulking form of massive vaguely humanoid shapes.
Further north, near Wyrgan the tree in the garden to the north awakens pulls itself free from the ground and shambles towards him!

Nox starts to cast a spell.
Bane leaves the bowman alone, and charges the greener of the vegetable-creatures. He connects loudly, however on the way in the thing lashes out at him
It pulls him closer even as he slams into it, component bits of fruit smash into Bane!
The creature doesn't seem stunned at all by him.
Dioneo causes a massive explosion of fire
Neither seems as damaged as he would expect though.

Wyrgan detects evil on the bush walking towards him...
"You! flee from the corner lest you perish at the hands of this thing" Wyrgan says to the surrendered orange. "Friends! We have another plant foe over here!" Wyrgan yells at his companions.
He swings at the plant whilst taking a step closer to the nearby stairs...
|
|
The plant is not evil.
The orange clan Aspis agent, overcome with fear tries to flee, but as he does so a huge branch swings out at him.
There is a crunching sound of breaking bones, but the Aspis leader is a strong man and he keeps going.
Wyrgan's own strike bounces off thick bark.

Three small missiles shoot out and into the fruit creature. It roars in anger but doesn't go down.

Dioneo calls out an inspiring word, and Bane wriggles free of the suffocating mass of plants.
Hellion then unleashes a mighty series of blows on the fruit creature near her. Unfortunately it is still standing.
Up north a load of roots grab hold of the fleeing Aspis agent in orange. He screams as they grab hold of him and draw them back towards it. The tree itself bends over and smashes branches against Wyrgan.
A fruity fist lashes out again at Bane
but the injured monk somehow avoids it.
The creature slurps sideways as a second fist hammers out at Pai, the source of its most recent pain
and it sucks her into its fruity form.
The fruit creature that Svetlana attack, smashes back at her
One of its paws - consisting of slabs of venison by the look of them, smashes into her
And it too grabs hold of her..

The fire elemental appears and attacks the fruit-construct. It slams into the creature, but its damp composition stops it from burning.
Quickly assessing the situation Nox picks the more heavily wounded looking assembly of vegetation and.. is the only person in the room grateful that it is such a large target.
It collapses into a large pile of fruit and vegetables, leaving Svetlana free for the moment.
Dark energies gather around the pile of fruit, coalescing and becoming darkner and more foreboding. More phantom voices call out in the market!. The dark energy seems to grow blacker and blacker, but smaller and smaller, and then the energy vanishes with a small "pop". That still leaves a large tree and the other pile of fruit to deal with.
Wyrgan tries to extract himself from the tree, but comes to realize that those branches are Long as one reaches out to smash him upon his witdrawl.

The shambling mound doesn't seem bothered by mere human curses. What does bother it immensely is the thrashing that Bane delivers. Fruit flies everywhere. Once again the dark energy that seems to have animated the objects gathers, darkens and then vanishes to the wailing of voices.
Only the one tree remains, still harassing the poor Wyrgan .

More roots burst run along the ground, trying to grasp hold of the pathfinder team! Nox, Dioneo and Svetlana are all grasped and then pulled toward the horrible tree. As Svetlana gets closer a huge branch smashes out at her, denting her armor and bruising her arms.

The tree in the garden seems to have spread roots all over the market place in the last few seconds. They seem to extend a slong way.
As Bane charges in the tree smashes him. He looks around in a daze, staggered by the blow.

The roots are all in that area. I don't think they can make AOO but they can reach really far to try and drag things towards the tree. The tree itself has a 15' reach with its branches/bite.
@all - when you use a power or special ability can you put OOC text as to what it is. I assume Nox did his "Raise the Dead"?
@Nox where do you get those stats for a 8HD skeleton from? I would have thought that the BAB should be +5, and an extra +2 from the STR of 15, gives +7/+7 with claw damage of d4+2. Could it be you have a feat or item than enhances the skeleton that I don't know about?

Wyrgan, retreating from the tree, notes the perilous state of the group and calls on his god to help. Dioneo joins in, with holy power directed at Svetlana.
The lovely Svetlana somehow manages to lunge forward, smashing the tree a couple of times. Only one connects though.
Nox brings forth a skeleton that also hacks into the tree, with some effect. Pai takes the time to try and protect Svetlana from the roots.
The tree ignores the skeleton and continues to hammer at Svetlana
But that enchantment of Pai's must be working.
Roots try to pull other members of the team within reach of the tree. They pulls Nox, Wygran and Dioneo closer to the hard, bashing branches where they are smashed around, leaving Nox unconscious.

@Wyrgan I can't see your CMD in your stat block, I thnk that pull worked, but please include your CMD on your status line.
@Nox keep rolling attacks for that skeleton.

Svetlana smashes the tree a couple of times. Branches crack but it is still standing. The skeleton has less effect this time, not managing to claw at the main trunk.
