Vanguard did not think about smells much. They were strange things. It was like art. He did not understand why people liked or did not like most often.

But he did not like this. It was not just a smell. It was painful.

He did not like this kow.

yeah, that's not an ongoing effect, it's a save your a** in a pinch roll.

and to reiterate for the new page Colbertron has initiative.  

[Arc Vembris]

Colbertron gives the kow some space to air that one out. ((move nw 1 w2, shadow walk on!))

Streaming with Patriotism, Colbertron gingerly steps over some of the gravestones.

"As was once said by the late King Elidyr, he who smelt it has in fact dealt it."
((Eyes of the Vestige on Kow +6 vs will, cursing rabbit 4, Colby gets +1 to F/R/W for a round thanks to his rod))

"And I'm looking at you Rabbit-thing!"
this fails on all accounts

instead he curses the parrot thing, just 'cause

i believe it is at this point the invoker regrets taking the front lines.

+3 damage on mercutio  

[SporkMaster5000]

22 - al-mi'raj4
22 - mole
22 - Van - 21 damage, prone, bloodied
19 - Fawks - 2 damage
19 - snail
18 - Mercutio - 30 damage, dying
18 - stench kow - 18 damage, -2 to attacks
15 - Sora
9 - Colbertron - 10 damage
6 - al-mi'raj3

So here's what happens, the last two rabbits bound in for the kill. The first misses Van, but stands its ground next to the warforged, though it does look a little uneasy about the decision. Then the second one takes a bounding leap at Mercutio, driving its horn straight through his chainmail and his shoulder. Pelor clearly has no dominion over fey rabbits.

But wait, there's more. The mole, who seemed to be waiting for something, makes a few squeaks (or whatever the hell noises moles make) and then all the other monsters lose their s**t. The kow begins frothing at the mouth, the rabbits bear their teeth, even the snail rushes forward, flails a-flailing. The one rabbit manages to land a blow on the warforged, while the other pushes off of Mercutio in a fashion that does no favors to his current horn-wound. Then the snail cracks the invoker in the back of the head with one of those tentacles. The spiked ball thing is definitely not as squishy as the rest of the snail appears.

((Van takes 6 damage of rabbity wrath. Mercutio takes three hits for a combined 25 damage.
Van you have initiative. Also, the stinky cow looming over you has just lost its mind. Fawks can go too. Map))

Vanguard had been relatively calm. Maybe it was a zen thing that had to do with his connection to the earthy parts of nature. Or maybe it was just the fact that he was a warforged, and not one of the fortunate few who went into society and found friends or acceptance quickly. He'd had doubts and went to the forests, fighting to live in a way that seemed much more fair, learning to appreciate things that weren't built and hammered, but emotions and feelings were slightly alien to him. Things he vaguely understood or felt hushed versions of.

But there were a scant few Vanguard knew very well. The fellowship of those you not only fought beside, but fought with as a unit protecting each other and pushing forward together. He knew pain, and he knew sadness of these friends dying.

And he knew what it was to be angry at the ones who had done so.

"You hurt Vanguard's friend," he toned levely as Brother Mercutio fell.

The warforged put a hand to the ground and rose suddenly, eyes burning bright.

And in an un-humanoid-like gesture, instead of directly flailing wrath against the creature's who had attacked the priest, Vanguard attacked the opposing warparty, not that it could really be called that, as a whole. Which meant lashing out at the little rabbit, end of his spear and it's head splitting into a number of thorny vines and trying to entangle the creature rather than stab it as he radiated primal fury like a wave of physical energy.

[SporkMaster5000]

Rabbits are not the heartiest of creatures and being forcefully entangled in thorns is quite enough to bloody it.
