Fippin chooses to cast his second true strike spell, and hold it until he figures out what terror they are running from.
Ix lets the croc-folk pass and tries to see what they are running from, moving up to where Fippin is.
Sykala quickly gets out her offerings and points after the crocodile people, "Follow! If is Shambler than not want be close. Talk far away."
Fippin has moved just inside the cave, and will hold his position at the entrance, trying to keep an eye on both the croc people and anything that might come out from in the cave.
Initiative: 1d20 2=8
Baas sees no point in attacking the fleeing crocodiles, but moves up to stand next to Sykala.
As soon as Baas enters the cave, a vine falls away from the wall and lashes his chest and arms. Another vine whips at his feet but he's nimble enough to avoid it. The vines grow from a pile of moldy leaves and dark humus. The plant creature stumbles a little closer and prepares to attack again.
Sykala calmly moves up and puts her offerings down 5'feet from the Shambler. She speaks in a strange voice that sounds like the winds blowing through the trees and the crackling of leaves and branches underfoot....
In Plant-eese:
Interested to see where this is going, Baas delays.
Fippin still has the true strike shot ready, but holds off firing, waiting to see how Sykala's negotiations go.

The shambling mound lashes out with both vines again, and ...
Seeing the creature lashing out at him again, Baas responds in the only way he knows how: by screaming a terrible howl and launching his own offensive. He swings his hammer at the creature, hoping to dissuade it from attacking him further.
Attack and Damage (1d20 11=13, 2d6 13=25)
Also, I need healing (or at least, I will once this thing hits me again!). ;)[/ooc]
Keliwyn tries to keep to the mouth of the cave, and lets an arrow fly.
Fippin uses his second true strike and deadly aim and releases the arrow he had been delaying.

One of the vines crackles out like a snake and lashes across Baas' chest but the other misses him. The shambling mound remains silent. The sound of the vines snapping and the rustling of its form are the only things you hear from it.
Sykala shakes her head sadly, "Is mad. Not speak to me. Must kill." She begins to chant a prayer to Gozreh.
Augmented Dire Wolf attack with flank (1d20+15=30, 1d8+12=17)
Improved trip attempt (1d20+18=38)
The shambling mound is easily brought to the ground by Sykala's dire wolf.
"Get it!" Ixius yells and moves up to claw the big plant.
claw attack (1d20+4=17)
damage (1d6+2=3)
sneak attack damage (1d6=2)
Grunting as his wounds mend, Baas moves towards the prone creature, raising his earthbreaker high above his head and slamming it down with every ounce of his strength.
Attack and Damage (1d20 6=12, 2d6 23=28)
As Ixius and Keliwyn both hit the plant creature, it begins to get desperate. It lashes out at Baas again, attempting to bring down the warrior foolish enough to get in its face, but one of its tendrils is trapped beneath its own bulk. The other leaves a nasty rope burn around the shoanti's neck.

Lightning Arc Touch attack (1d20+5=25, 1d6+2=8)
Lightning Arc Touch attack critical confirmation (1d20+5=11, 1d6+2=8)
As the giant wolf continues to savage the plant creature Sykala releases lightning into the heart of it.....
Ixius continues to claw at the plant.
Ripping free from the tendril's attempt to choke him, Baas then continues his assault.
Crazy Attack and Damage (1d20 6=11, 2d6 23=30)
The dire wolf tears vine from moldy limb and, despite Sykala's efforts to revive it with lightning () it slumps to the ground and seems diminished. Ixius and Baas hack at it to be sure.
Fippin & Keliwyn:
The crocfolk are trying to sneak up on you but they do not succeed. Their initiative is 13. Beat that.
Keliwyn's attention is grabbed by the return of the lizard men, but apparently, his reflexes aren't so quick. "Behind us!" He yells.

Sykala will call off the wolf and try to harvest the worm from the remains trusting her companions to fend off the crocmen....
Sykala will call off the wolf and try to harvest the worm from the remains trusting her companions to fend off the crocmen....
Sykala has no problem doing that.
Fippin takes a javelin in the shoulder before he can pull his bow.
Another javelin flies harmlessly past Keliwyn.
Fippin's arrow is deflected by the crocfolk's shield.
Sykala will just carefully wrap up the worm to protect it. I don't think there is room for the wolf to attack (if there is feel free to roll for it).
On Fippin's turn, he moves back beside Sykala and casts a spiritual weapon spell. He places the spell in the cave entrance to hover there and help defend it.
If Ixius acts before the croc-folk and after Fippin, he moves into the space occupied by Fippin and casts burinig hands, trying to catch as many of them in it as he can.
If not he stays where he is and casts scorching ray at the easiest one to hit.
The crocfolk's attack are futile. They throw their second to last remaining javelins but, despite the short distance, have no success.
Keliwyn's attack finishes off one of the crocfolk wounded earlier. Ixius' scorching ray slays another. The shaman and the last remaining crocfolk step up too replace those slain.
