Oh yeah, some stats for your dice-rolling
The animated trees have low-light vision but not darkvision; the treants have darkvision*.
The treants are AC 24 [T 8 FF 24]
The animated trees are AC 21 [T 7 FF 21]
*and yes, I know treants aren't listed as having darkvision.
Err... As I am about to post, I am noticing that both Felrin and Ottakar are advancing towards the treants, while Etna and Tkaara remain rather close to the animated trees. Is that correct?
Because if we go with what I said in my previous OOC post about Erevan supporting Felrin with his attack on the treants, then that leaves the ladies possibly facing the two animatrees. In retrospect, with both the tiefling and the Beast going to deal with the treant, it would be better if Erevan stayed to support Tkaara and Etna. But it feels a bit metagamey to me (since Erevan technically goes before Felrin and Ottakar), so I thought to ask first.
Felrin and Ottakar moved forward on the previous turn, so there shouldn't be a problem, no?
Apart from the fact that it's now the treants' turn to act.
Apologies for the delays, guys & gals; I'm hosting Christmas this year and the preparations are eating into my PbP time.
Holy s+&@ these things hurt! And they have pounce, too? D:
Ah, crap... Now I feel like I made the wrong call targeting the animated trees.
Gah, my bad. I'm using Revised Action Economy in my other game, and forgot how the "normal" version works...
Please disregard the second slam attack, which - of course - they can only use as part of a full round action.
Heh. And the Prince of Darkness smiles on Felrin once again...
Between two extra attack and Felrin negating the critical, the situation went from "Oh crap TPK" to "Eh, it's allright". :D
Gah, my bad. I'm using Revised Action Economy in my other game, and forgot how the "normal" version works...
By the way, I'm curious to know: how are the Unchained rules working in the CotCT game? I suspect the revised action economy is pretty scary with enemies like our Treants here.
Nearly took the entire party out with 2 reefclaws ;-)
The new poison rules are pretty damn scary, let me tell you.
A bit of clarification as it might influence Erevan's following actions: Do the animated trees do anything like attack, or is it not their turn yet? Because if they cannot attack due to darkness, then Erevan may as well ignore them and head for the treants.
They can attack, but they can't see their targets due to the darkness. Plus one of them is on fire.
Cool. So there is probably a charge incoming next round. :-)
...and if you smite, you can even get through their DR!
Oh, I intend to! I was going to regardless, but it bypasses any DR the target may have, so that is one more thing to consider.
By the way, so as to know what to roll on that first successful smite attempt, is/are Jurak considered any of the following? Outsider (Good subtype) or Good creature with Cleric or Paladin levels.
Not an outsider, no cleric or paladin levels.

I knew the Poison-based character was a good idea! :P
Felrin - it was the tree that's on fire that failed its save against your spell. That's WHY it's on fire.
The second tree continues to burn, alone and unloved.
Poor tree!

Right, but my spell affected the treants, not the trees. I assume when you say 'tree' you mean one of the trees animated by the treant. Those trees were not the target of blistering invective. Not sure if I've misunderstood something or you have. I'm posting on a wee device, so it's a bit hard to sort through tabs and posts to reconstruct things.
It's an area effect: I rolled for everyone. The treants and 1 tree saved, the other tree didn't.
Ok, got it.
No problem!
Just waiting on Erevan and Ottakar.
Give him the finishing thwack, Tkaara!
I'm hosting this year, so I'll be offline for the next few days. See you all on the other side.
Merry Christmas, one and all.
Back at you, DMD. And the same to one and all!
Happy holidays, everyone!
Happy Holidays!
Xmas over, everyone survived.
The fools. Now I have them right where I want them...
Good to hear, AsmodeusUltima.
You have very little time to savour your victory, however, as a new threat emerges...
Tatienne's tingly with anticipation.
@AU: Awesome!
And we got that tree down, finally. I hope whatever is coming now isn't as sturdy.
Surgery was successful. Should regain full use of my arm soon. In case I don't get on again in the next day or two, happy new year!
Completely missed this yesterday! That's great news. Looking forward to an improved, more Evil 2016 for all of us.
Glad to hear about the surgery, AU!
And I'm glad that AoO missed, I thought he he'd used up his AoO on Tkaara and figured he didn't have Combat Reflexes.
Did we not have an infernal healing wand earlier? I presume we still have it now? Tens posted a while back about using it, but I didn't see it on her sheet.

Face.Palm.
Sorry, with the holidays I've been all over the place and posting from a variety of different spots and various devices; I haven't had my notes with me. That one slipped past me. Still, no harm done.
The treant(s?) was/were worth 12,800 XP, BTW. Well done.
And at some point very soon, I'm going to stop going by XP and start levelling up by fiat. You'll see why when we get there.
Yup, I've got the wand, but I hold back on posting as we had something coming up: still, maybe I had time to give Felrin a single healing poke?
Anyone talks Boggard, or do I try a couple of languages?
And I'm leveling by fiat in all of my other games, so no problem: I'm assuming that's because we're six and with templates/race builder? Upping the CR of fights to keep them relevant would just give us more exp and ramp things up?
None of you speaks Boggard. You've never needed it before and
Those rolls were hilariously appropriate. <.<
I don't think I've ever had a character take Boggard as a language. It just seems such a bad ROI.
How much XP does Taty start with, DMD? Or should I just level via fiat starting now?
Also, Tatienne is a relic hunter. It seems appropriate that she take a memento from these fabulous ents. Anyone mind if I take the other heartwood, or barring that, a finger, nose, etc.? How big is a Jurak face?
I'd propose the doctor to fight the chief: he doesn't technically use magic.

As a question, how much time has passed? The Doctor has his Mutagen (10min/level) active as well as Barkskin (10min/level) and shield (1min/level). The shield might have worn off, but the others should be active. If the Bogards showed right up after the fight, all three might be still working.
If the mutagens and barkskin are working, then the Doctor is definitely the best fighter.
TBH, I have no idea if Ottakar is around at this point, or how frequently he can post.
Can we come up with a plan that doesn't involve relying on him to post regularly?
We're with either Erevan or Felrin for 1v1 combat, then. Do we know if those Boggards are poisonous? If that's the case, Felrin is out of the question too: attacking them with claws would be dangerous.
