First things first: after the child starts trying to escape through the hole Nilia created, Brelia will, as an immediate action, cast Liberating Command on the boy (he gets to use his own immediate action to perform an Escape Artist check at +2) "Get out of there and run, kid!" she calls to him.<br/><br/>m<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/682631">http://orokos.com/roll/682631</a>m<br/>Brelia takes 3 damage and a -1 strength penalty from Aura of Decay.<br/><br/>Just as she's getting close to the plant creature, Brelia finds herself being assaulted by a mysterious pain from something emanating from the gigantic plant. She knows almost immediately: she can't stay close to that thing. "Get away from it, all of you!" she calls out as she takes a five-foot step away from the creature: far enough that she doesn't feel like she's being assaulted by its magic anymore. Once that's done, she puts away her shield, then draws out her light crossbow.<br/><br/>(( Double move action: first move action is to de-equip her shield. second move action is to draw her light crossbow. ))
