I'm going to wait to post to see what Hep and Maria can do. Maybe Hep can suck up Vilk's AO and/or Maria can put the wolf down. Cause if Holan-Ji stands, the wolf and Vilk will both AO him and he'll drop - both prone from being tripped by the hound again and unconscious from 2 more hits.

"I really hate dogs. Not cause o' the tiger-demon-thing going on with me..." Holan-Ji begins as he turns his full attention to the wolfhound nipping at his heels and bites at it.
"But cause o' how they always just do what they're told. Never thinkin' for themselves, just followin' the pack..." he opines as he swipes a massive paw at the hound.
Full attack, still raging, power attacking, and with fire. If the doggo drops, obviously, any remaining attacks would go against Vilk. And if the doggo does drop, he'll immediately 5' Step to get into Flank with Hep.

Holan-Ji rushes forward to engage the wolfman. As he moves, his form shifts again, this time into everyone's favorite fuzzy feline of flaming fury! He's tired of this chase, and it's time to put this mutt down!
Charge Vilk, Shifter's Rush to wild shape to Tiger as a free action as part of the charge, Bloodrage as a free action. Pounce (full attack at the end of a charge) as granted by Tiger form. Swift action Hellstrike. His claws ignore DR/cold iron, DR/magic, and DR/silver.

Just as he reaches the door, Holan-Ji hears Soddy come running in breathlessly. He turns and realizes sheepishly that it might well have been his recklessness that caused her to get blown down the street. Then he hears the Judge groan, and turns back to see if they shouldn't take care of her first. He trots over to Soddy Daisy, gives her a head butt and offers to let her ride on his back while she catches her breath if she needs to.

"Not any more," Tygger replies as he spits out another hunk of wolf. "You're timin' was perfect."
He nods as Hep works on the judge, and looks back towards the door and the remaining wolves. "Tails between their legs. You might be able to just shoo 'em away," he says with an added growl for emphasis. "But I'm goin' after the big guy."

The big cat smiles and spits out a chunk of dog meat. Not that he minds the taste, it's a normal food in Chu-Ye, but he's gotta keep his mouth free to chomp on the other one. And the smile is cause his favorite flanking buddy just joined the fight!
Attacking Red (I color coded that one to distinguish between the two.) Charge (Shifter's Rush to change form as free action), Pounce (Full attack when charging). -2 to AC this round from the Charge.

A giant tiger follows the silly elf maiden, sniffing at the grass.
"I smell cats," it says in a deep voice with a slight Tien accent. "Two of 'em. No, make it three. Not enough to qualify her as a Crazy Cat-lady. But certainly enough to keep 'er busy."

Holan-Ji is Happy.
He's still on a bit of post-combat high as he pads about the temple grounds. His bestest friend, the Avatar Princess of Chaotic Awesomeness is riding his back, her slim fingers firmly gripping the roll of skin at his nape. All he needs is a great meal and a roll in the hay (though he's still a bit conflicted about whether that should or shouldn't be with She Who Defines Awesomeness.)
He stops to sniff a broken bush in case some blight-thing left a scent, when suddenly Hep jumps off and runs across the field saying something about having been an architect in a future-past life. Or something like that. He's not sure he heard her correctly, much less even understood it. Eh, that's her nature, for sure.
His nature is to hunt: for fights, for good food, for fun ... "friends." So he finishes his hunt for any stray qlippies(?), qlippos(?). But not finding any he returns to where his friends are gathered.
"I've still got about half a day o' Tiger form left. I can pull it," he offers. "But no horse jokes. Or I'll eat you like I would a horse, right about now." It's a little hard to tell if he's joking, what with the steady stare of his cat's eyes and the difficulty of interpreting cross-species body language. Leaving it at that, he lays down next to where Zithembe is working, and takes a nap while the Boss finishes rigging up a harness.
Male CN Wild-shaped Dire Tiger | HP: 65 / 65 | AC: 18 (T 14, FF 18) CMD: 29 (+2 vs Grapple, +4 vs Trip) / Resist Fire 5 | F: +10, R: +5, W: +7 | Speed 40 ft| Minor Aspect 8/8 Rage 6 / 7 Hellfire 2 / 3 | Active conditions: Rage (AC-2), Hellfire
Holan-Ji releases the slimy shelled thing to let it fall at Zithembe's feet.
"Boss, I am a little sorry I blocked yer line. But, to be honest, you do kinda need to get into the fights faster. Maybe some new armor? That hunk o' metal slowin' you down too much?" the tiger asks with a flick of his claw at Zithembe's breastplate.
He's being playful in his post-combat high, but he's also honestly hoping that his friend can improve his speed. He fondly recalls when they were shoulder-to-shoulder against that big earth elemental, and he'd like that to be the normal way they fight, rather then the exception.
Looking around at the blighted landscape and the weird pulsating portal, he worries that there might be other ... things nearby. "I'm gonna patrol around to make sure there's nothin' else waitin' ta' sneak up on us while yer' figurin' out how to close that," he says with a shake of his tail at the portal.
"Anyone want to ride along?" he asks hoping that either Hep or Zithembe will join him.

Murphy suddenly goes limp in Holan-Ji's grasp, so he tosses the body aside and turns to stare into Harry's ... face? butt? who can tell with these things?
Will, Heroism :1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (19) + 7 + 2 = 28
He shakes it off again. "Not sure what the big deal is with these things. I've seen a lot worse in the onis' fighting pits."
But then it starts munching on his bestest friend. And without even giving her any flowers first! How rude!
He scoots in closer, rears up on his back legs and puts all his weight into his attacks with a resounding ROAR!
Male CN Wild-shaped Dire Tiger | HP: 65 / 65 | AC: 18 (T 14, FF 18) CMD: 29 (+2 vs Grapple, +4 vs Trip) / Resist Fire 5 | F: +10, R: +5, W: +7 | Speed 40 ft| Minor Aspect 8/8 Rage 6 / 7 Hellfire 2 / 3 | Active conditions: Rage (AC-2), Hellfire
"What the unholy hells??!!" Holan-Ji yells as the skin peels off and the ... Murphy reveals its true form. He simply can't take his eyes off the horror, and even if he could, he'd not want to let it slip away.
Will vs Blue, Heroism :1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (14) + 7 + 2 = 23
When Harry arrives, he glances at it to see what it is...
Will vs Red, Heroism :1d20 + 7 + 2 ⇒ (2) + 7 + 2 = 11 This is exactly what we save our Rerolls for
but the Tiger God reinforces his willpower enough to overcome the strange being's disturbing appearance.
Relieved at having avoided the effects of these abominations, he calls back (teasingly) to Zithembe. "C'Mon Gramps, get a move on and get up here into the fight." But then the tiger returns his focus to Murphy, shifts slightly to the side, and attacks with all he's got.
Thankful for the help that the dragonfly gave him to get into the fight, Holan-Ji nevertheless calls forth the last bit of Tiger to help him now that's here.
5' Step, Full Attack, Grab, Swift action to switch out Minor Forms. New AC in tag line

Holan-Ji looks to Zithembe to make sure he's cleared in hot. When the Boss utters his holy judgement, Holan-Ji figures that's his signal.
He envisions the speed of the dragonfly and the power of the tiger, combined together in a black and orange blur of iridescent scales and fur. He sprints towards the priest and his body immediately shifts into his imagined form. He slams into the "tengu", hoping to grab him and interrupt the ritual.

"Barely a scratch? Huh? Oh, I get it," Initially confused and still in a battle-fugue, Holan-Ji then groans at Effie's encouraging words. He groans again as he rises from where he'd ended up atop the bear-thing. "Oof, she had a lot o' fight in 'er. Hope she's not contagious," he mutters as he looks at the bite wound in his shoulder.
Still in tiger form, he cranes his neck out and sniffs the wind. He wants to be sure the cubs got clear and that there's nothing else nearby before he shifts back.
Satisfied, he steps away from the corpse to let Maria examine it and sits down on his haunches. He licks one of the smaller scratches in his forearm subconsciously before realizing that he doesn't need to still be a tiger. And that he has a healing wand. That he can't use like this. Eh, I'll wait a bit to be sure we're safe before patchin' myself up.
He'll use his own infernal healing wand after he shifts back. But no hurry. Hopefully....

Effie's words of encouragement in his ears and the joy of combat in his blood, Holan-Ji runs straight at the bear. His body changes back into the smilodon that emerged from the fog that morning, and he roars to match the tainted mother. Six hundred pounds of fangs and fury slam into her, catching her by surprise, biting and slashing with everything he has.

Rule commentary: I don't believe scent negates concealment in any way. It merely allows a PC or Companion to locate a square to attack into if the target has TOTAL concealment. Regular concealment is literally just 20% miss but can still be targeted.
I know we've had this discussion before, but it may have indeed been in reference to Total concealment rather than regular concealment. (@Paizo: why use the same word? Pick different words for different conditions.) I may have been remembering that we discussed "concealment" and misapplied the ruling to this instance. I'll try to be more careful in the future.

Fort save, rage :1d20 + 9 + 2 ⇒ (1) + 9 + 2 = 12 Only roll he could’ve failed on. Meh. Whatever. Concealment won’t affect him with Scent, and I’ll save the reroll in case of something more critical.
When the lightning hits him, Holan-Ji’s fur stands on end making him look like a big, flaming, angry puffball. He sneezes from the ozone around him, shakes his head and realizes everything’s a little blurry. That’s okay, he knows where it came from, and decides to “fall” towards the source.
Gravity (Wis) :1d20 + 3 ⇒ (14) + 3 = 17
The big flaming very angry puffball starts falling towards its prey. He hears the Totally Awesome song of the Totally Awesome Hep and envisions ice mixing with his own hellfire. He thinks for a second that he felt a tongue touch his right hind leg (weird, but okay). He waits to attack until he’s right on top his prey and can smell its fear. That’s when he recognizes Chalissier, and knows this won’t take long.
*He moved 30 ft, but he’s “falling.” Can that be considered a charge (thereby triggering pounce), or does a charge have to involve movement under one’s own power? If it’s not legit as a charge, then ignore the two claw attacks, and ignore the charge bonus to the Bite and Grab rolls. Eh. NVM, the dice demons struck.

What are you waiting for, you pathetic kitten? Your friends are being hunted, yet you sit on your haunches, afraid of the sky!
Shut up! I can't fly! What am I supposed to do?
Be the hunter. Be the hunter for all environments. Someday you shall hunt across the skies and in the seas, and you shall FEAR NOTHING!
Shut up. SHUT UP. SHUT. UP!
Holan-Ji's allies, beset as they are with the battle, likely don't notice the tiger shaking his head as if arguing with himself. They are more likely to notice when his claws and fangs burst into fire. And they certainly notice when he charges across the sail he'd been on and launches himself out into the sky with a ROAR!
Jump:1d20 + 7 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 7 + 1 = 18 Not sure it's really needed. With Reach, he can almost reach Chalissier from the edge of the sail, but he is launching himself, so technically I guess so.

"Have we met this chump before? He doesn't look familiar," Tiger asks his comrades as he peers at the monologuing bad guy.
Deciding that all these air-critters kinda just look alike anyway, he turns his attention back to the reddish tinged lightning bug.
I'd've taken the time to use one more wand if I'd known these guys were just gonna dance around and not actually attack us. He gingerly sets one huge paw on the edge of the sail structure, testing its sturdiness. He decides to wait them out, rather than try to go flying off into the forever.
He wears boots of the cat, which we've chatted about before. Rereading the Subjective Gravity spoiler, I noted that being under the effect of a feather fall grants a bonus to the check and slows your falling speed.
The boots are constructed using that spell. Obviously, that doesn't directly count as being under the effect, but the boots are intended to provide some benefit that only occurs when falling.
So, what do you think? Full benefits? None? One of the two benefits (a speed reduction or check bonus)?

My dad was a Navy aviator; I was an Air Force pilot. I cut my teeth on the stories of Pappy Boyington and Claire Chennault among many others. But because I now fly cargo, I associate Flying Tigers with the air cargo company founded by several of the members of the above-linked-to unit after the war. They were eventually bought by FedEx, and I'll be flying some FedEx trips to Hong Kong later this month (I'm not employed by them, just doing sub-contract work). Perhaps my real life will thus imitate my art.
Holan-Ji growls in frustration as the sylph tries to cast a spell, but then chuckles when it fails to manifest.
"Mmfrggll, grrettskkaa," he tries to reply to Effie's kind words around the snack enemy in his mouth. He shakes the sylph for good measure before flying with his prey down to the first floor and out of the damn fog. He unceremoniously dumps Chalissier on the ground, not releasing him of course. The friendly-to-the-right-people tiger demon glares at Chalissier as if daring him to try something else.
I think I forgot the +2 damage from Zithembe's Champion boon on Holan-Ji's previous turn.

@Effie: Sure, thanks. Just in case he's got more tricks up his sleeve.
Saving Finale reroll :1d20 + 5 ⇒ (17) + 5 = 22
Nice! Thanks!
Seeing that the mist can't be cleared, and knowing that he can sniff out the sylph, Holan-Ji stalks forward on floating paws. His tail lashes the air behind him, and his eyes are half closed as he focuses on the spicy aroma of his prey. "I know you're in there," he growls as the Tiger God finally takes over and his teeth and claws erupt in orange flame.
As soon as he catches Chalissier's scent he bites with everything he's got.
Grab, Rage, PA:1d20 + 18 + 2 - 2 ⇒ (7) + 18 + 2 - 2 = 25 AC is 2 lower than tagline due to Rage. Grab does not provoke. I placed his token where I think he'd need to be based on the line of effect. He moves until he pinpoints the prey, or if Effie or Z make contact to identify the space, so if that's not where he'd end up, please adjust his position.

Holan-Ji takes the full lightning blast. His fur stands on end and he looks like a big puff ball. Smoke rises from the tips of his ears, both literally and figuratively. Because zapping a large tiger only makes him mad.
"Effie, he's right over there," Holan-Ji growls and points with his chin toward the side of the catwalk. "Do that fire thing again so I can see him. Please." he adds politely even as the beast of anger rises up in his soul.
"Feed, my son. The Mephit was a snack, and this one is not much more. But he hurt you. Make him suffer. Hunt him down and devour him! the voice in his head urges the shifted tiefling.
He waits for Effie to clear the fog, planning to pounce on Chalissier as soon as he comes into sight.
Will Delay his attack in case she can't, or has another plan, or someone else does something that will affect his actions.
Would have made that save if I'd remembered to use his swift action to boost his Dex. Was so excited to finally get to do a Pounce and Grab, that I forgot. Eh, it's just damage. And I think we got this.

Though the burning away of the mist doesn't reveal a target quite like Holan-Ji had hoped it wound as he comes racing up over the cloud, he still has his nose to rely on and he can pinpoint the mephit close by!
Okay, if I understand the rules correctly, you can't charge if you can't actually *see* your target and you can't pounce if you can't charge. That said, Holan-Ji's still able to scent and pinpoint the location of the mephit - he just can't do a full attack this turn.

As it turns out, he didn't even need to use his claws as Holan-Ji crunches down on the mephit's skull with a sickening *CRACK* and the creature goes limp!
Yes, you're right. I failed to consider the fact that he couldn't see it when I wrote it, and also failed to explicitly say "Pounce Kitty!" that he was using Pounce, but you obviously knew what I meant. But, yes, all of your understandings are correct.

"You got it, Boss," Holan-Ji acknowledges Zithembe's instructions. Sorry Maria, but I think Z's got the right tactic. And besides, I can't cook it if it ain't dead.
He rushes forward, up and over the fog cloud and arrives just as he hears a FWOOOOSH! Revealed below him is the mephit, ready to be chomped!
Charged, so AC's are -2 from status bar. Grab as free act that does not provoke. In Tiger form, he has scent, so if he's within 5' of his prey, he can "pinpoint their location" even if he can't see them.

Holan-Ji releases Yellow but stays in his Tiger form. He's still getting used to it, and it's kind of fun being a great big cat.
"I think we get a bad name for killin' things first and askin' questions later. But sometimes those things weren't gonna - or can't - answer questions. Or surrender," he finishes with a toothy cat smile at Yellow.
As the others paw through the loot, he expresses interest in a potion of flying. He's curious how the flux stuff works, even though he's not planning to carry or use them.
Is it already activated? Do we need to add the drop of blood now? (I think there's some ready, though perhaps unwilling, sources right nearby, if so. Hep has a +11 Craft Alchemy, so she can tap the check to know which element they are, if they're already activated.

"Hey, where ya' goin'?" Holan-Ji laughs as Green tries to scurry away. He plays at following her, taking a short step into where she was as he nips at her butt.
Either way, he smacks her with a huge paw and tries to drag her to the ground and hold her in place.
If Blue dropped, he switches second attack to Red and loses flanking bonus on the Crit Confirm roll. Third attack and the Grapple is on Yellow to prevent casting and because that's the one farthest away from everyone else.
Did HJ need a reflex save for the grease if he 5' stepped and is only 1/4 of the way in?

... into the full-sized tiger that his friends last saw in the VC's office.
"Hehe, thanks for letting me have some fun."
Standard to wild shape which does not provoke. Swift to also apply Minor Form. No move action. Flanking Green with Hep. Could flank Blue with Zith if he moves 5' left (West?) Although Large, only has 5' reach.
