Oh, she's pretty sure he's going to have to die thanks to his collaboration
with the pirates. But she would like to hear his side too, if possible. If not,
she'll move to the next target and keep looking for that tree.
In her way of thinking, those who can cast druid spells are either druids or
deities. So it's more straightforward to her than it might be to us.

Does he know druid spells? He has some sort of druid-like powers, but what
does that mean?
As for protecting his home, He attacked us. Repeatedly. He killed Gwyn, if I
recall correctly. He's killed several NPCs. Important to us NPCs. I am all
for subduing him, but the consensus outside the Chaos Brothers is that such an
attempt would be dangerous to everyone else (though I don't see that it is very
much more dangerous than trying to kill it outright). Were we to subdue him,
Carandolana could spend hours with him psychoanalyzing him, getting a better
understanding of his motivations, and probably getting sufficient understanding
of Dragon thinking that she could convincingly play one in shape shifter mode.
But we've elected to go with the clumsier but more definitive evisceration of
Ezanus. So fire up the barbecue, get ready for some dragon steaks, and be
prepared to collect bags and bags of dragon scales, which could be the Cove's
first big cash crop.

Here's the big question. Since he knows how to cast druid spells, he has to
access those somehow, and there's value in knowing what his justification is,
and why he's supporting rabid humans like the pirates and anti-living things.
So far it's been about him protecting his home using magic. It's not how
Carandolana would go about it all, but still, there's some level of reason
behind it all.

Our dragon friend doesn't want to die, which would be what will happen if he
tries to fight us. The only real question is whether he takes any of us with
him.
And, to my knowledge, raise dead doesn't work on dragons

Hurrumph,
I think our dragon friend would have been a touch more to attacking us if
we firebombed his sentries. Either way, if they do not go back to being nice
plants, we burn them down. No need for these guys to be about on our boarders.

Yep. Might have saved us a lot of trouble now. Elmore might not like
wholesale forest destruction but he also doesn’t count every single tree.
Animals need a habitat, but future troubles need to be cleared out before they
become now troubles. Too bad our tree talkers couldn’t convince them to stay
out of this fight. Guess have to see how many Entangle and the fire bombs deal
with.

Not everyone hates it when Sean suggests it. Elmore is itching for the

something.

The pine brush is moving towards Ahearn, etc. The trees are not moving.
from the altar. They are moving slowly toward you from the NW entrance area.
Xander could get the trees in the NW area without any of the party members. It
might be time for a fireball or two, Estra will yell out.

At this point Xander has dedicated most of his magical arsenal to
being a travel agent. He doesn't want to waste magic on doing something that
the party can take care of with arms.
Questions:
Are the pine trees mobile or rooted in place? Can he get a Dispel
Magic on just the trees and avoid party members?
Can Holly toss one of her smaller fireballs in a way to catch only
trees and enemies and avoid party members? If so, he'll recommend that course
of action.
If neither of those courses of action are viable, he'll use his
Scroll of Web and try to only snare trees/enemies and Free Action party members.

She times this because she wants the plants to advance to within spell range
but she doesn't want to be in spell range until it's time for the spell to go
off. The next round she'll cast the spell and entangle the plants.

lucky dude. He will see four wooden Xs around the altar that are clearly meant
for attaching sacrifices. None are there now, but the smell still is. The
animated vines are unable to constrict him. He will take 15 HPs of damage from
needles as he moves to the rest of the party. He will get to fight some goblins
at the end of the round. The needle bushes do seem to be coming towards the
entrance. Ahearn is looking a bit rough at this point.

Hagar will kill the six before him, however, he did actually miss twice. Johnny
has two of the larger goblins and two wolves on him. They all miss. Johnny
misses once and hits one of the wovles. It staggers but stands, for now. Agatha
and Estra are near Sean and aiming at a single wolf of the three coming at
them. Agatha actual snaps her string, but Oestra hits once. Oestra will scream
out that the wolves are demanding our surrendure. The goblins are screaming for
your to drop your weapons to worship the Great Green Wyrm. Elmore will get to
fight his own wolf. The wolf will miss, but Zazerial will connect making the
canine yelp.
