Willem laughed gleefully as the bandits chased after him. "Haven't found them yet!" he yelled back at them, "Maybe they fell into the stream as you were taking a piss?" He ran towards the ford and the cluster of his allies and

Things looked grim for Jaared. Not much time left, better help the other's even the numbers, he thought to himself. With his back up against the wagon he looked to his right and saw Kressle grinning. He then looked to his left and saw the wounded brigand. Easy choice!, he thought as he smiled. He cocked his head so Kressle could hear, "Come get me HARPY!!!!! He then

If she moves further she won't get a full attack but wouldn't suffer a cover penalty.)

Jarili was surprised to see a bandit swinging at him. He had not seen him there! But still, he was easily able to dodge the blow and retreat a few feet back behind Denayth. He looked around and saw that Willem was in a bad way with two bandits on his trail. He knew that he could help him out and did just that. "Mighty Gozreh, hinder our enemies so that we may prevail." He raised his hands into and the very plants around the bandits seemed to turn against them.

School transmutation; Level druid 1, ranger 1 CASTING Casting Time 1 standard action Components V, S, DF EFFECT Range long (400 ft. + 40 ft./level) Area plants in a 40-ft.-radius spread Duration 1 min./level (D) Saving Throw Reflex partial; see text; Spell Resistance no DESCRIPTION This spell causes tall grass, weeds, and other plants to wrap around foes in the area of effect or those that enter the area. Creatures that fail their save gain the entangled condition. Creatures that make their save can move as normal, but those that remain in the area must save again at the end of your turn. Creatures that move into the area must save immediately. Those that fail must end their movement and gain the entangled condition. Entangled creatures can attempt to break free as a move action, making a Strength or Escape Artist check. The DC for this check is equal to the DC of the spell. The entire area of effect is considered difficult terrain while the effect lasts. If the plants in the area are covered in thorns, those in the area take 1 point of damage each time they fail a save against the entangle or fail a check made to break free. Other effects, depending on the local plants, might be possible at GM discretion.

Mallory hadn't factored in the shifting movements of combat, combined with her blurred vision and the scrape of arrows on her flesh, it was a given that the shot would go into the dirt. She grit her teeth and lined up another shot, only for the bandit leader to press her advantage on Jaared; her advance put her out of Mal's line of sight. The non-smelly rogue was leading enemies to her current position, the dwarf was taking heavy fire, and the entire skirmish seemed to be turning into a farce.

She screamed with frustration and dove for cover behind the nearby shrubline. Biting her lip so hard she could draw blood, Mallory forced herself to wait for a good opportunity.

Move to B6 and Ready Action. If B3 goes into open ground, shoot him. If B5 moves towards me or anywhere that isn't B7, shoot him instead. If he moves to point B7, shoot B3 anyway (so Willeim can actually be a Rogue and get Sneak Attack)

For the shot: I'm in a square that grants concealment, but am not taking a shot that would trace through a concealment square, so it's normal, right?
