Well, that was strange.  The Dryads almost seemed interested in... having their way with Rolan.  Well, then again, the ways of such plant creatures were probably rather strange, by her standards.  No doubt their actions made sense to them, even if she couldn't see the tactical benefit.  Either way, the Elf was certainly in trouble, badly-wounded by sharp nettles and vines scratching away at unprotected flesh.  Moving without any regard to the Dryad menacing herself, the Goliath took up a flanking position next to the closest of the pair that was attacking the archer, and swung away, giving out orders as she went.<br/><br/>"Damian!  Cypher!  Kairon!  Bryn!  Finish off that Harpy, now!  When it's down, move to support Rolan!"  And smashing her sword into the foe before her, she offered her comrade some words of support.  "Hang in there, Rolan!  Help is on the way!"<br/><br/>Then, digging down deep within herself, she struck again, a less damaging blow this time, but one far more off-setting.<br/><br/>"Riya!  Strike now!  Rolan, try to Shift into the tree line, if you can't make them back off of you!"<br/><br/>((Move Action: Move to F10, provoking an opportunity attack from D1.<br/>Minor Action: Inspiring Word. (2d6+4=11) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2639285/)  Rolan can spend a healing surge and gain an extra 11 HP.<br/>Standard Action, plus Action Point: Warlord's Favor, granting the +5 bonus to Riya, then Surprise Attack, granting the free attack with Combat Advantage to Riya. (1d20+17=24, 2d10+9=21, 1d20+17=30, 1d10+9=17) (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2639275/)  Both attacks hit, 38 damage total.<br/>Riya, if you attack D3 with a Ranged Basic Attack for your free attack, you'll have +11 to the attack roll.  Any other target will grant you +6.<br/><br/>Also, I'd like to recommend that anyone who hasn't used an action point yet save it for the next encounter.  After that comes the milestone, and then we all get an action point back.))
