Being careful with traps ( Perception 20 ) Varanus goes to check the nearest door trying to understand if there's something behind it ( investigation 11 )
Varanus, with his keen senses, notices something wrong: the leafless shrubs are moving! He backs away just as one of them tries to take a swipe at him!
Three of them uproot themselves, showing that they are not shrubs but horrifying wooden creatures. Prepare for battle!
(Since this is our first combat: I'm using relaxed initiative ordering, so anyone that rolls as much or higher than all the monsters, as Delmyth did, may take an action without waiting for the other players.)
Trtying to take notes before transforming, Varanus starts
"Ow Bloody Hell!"
Init 4
As the transformation finished all his notes are, once again, burnt.
OOC: I know but this is something varanus will have to deal on his own, to start noticing things without needing notes and to get along with his other persona, dw he'll complain but won't affect the party

I've already rolled 4 there, so was waiting for combat
Seeing another of his party being hit the thing looks at the blight with blazing eyes, picks up his hammer with the 2 hands and tries to smash it to bits hit 22 damage 4
Despite almost hitting it perfectly a nerve in the thing's arm starts hurting mid smash and the swing hits in non vital areas
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Upon seeing the shrubthings attack, Greyson shouts "Gentle Giant, GROW STRONG!" After transforming he thinks for a moment, before speaking again "Looks like these guys don't want to negotiate. PRIMAL SAVAGERY!" Upon casting the cantrip, his nails grow in length, now resembling claws and dripping a mysterious liquid from the ends. He slashes at a nearby shrub thing.
(So, so close. One more point in Wisdom and i’d Be golden, but no, Changelings, the stuff that lives off of detecting things, don’t get a bonus to it, of course :) )
Ammon takes the hit, and falls down on the ground. Those who look at him see his form change under the helmet, but are unable to see his face.
The vine blight squeezes the breath out of Ammon; dropping him to the floor, the helmeted demigod reverts back to, well, he changes in any case.
The Thing, Gentle Giant and Thunder Blue come together in a three-pronged attack, demolishing the cactus-like needle blight before it can fire off a volley of needles!
(Delmyth gets an action again, followed by the deadly vine blight.)

The vine blight is turned into a pin cushion, but it's not down yet! It counter attacks against Purple Candle with it's long-range vines, attempting to constrict her! (Attack: 8 Damage: 10)
Purple Candle deftly dodges the vines; everyone is up for a round of attacks again. Finish off the vine blight before it gets another chance to attack!

Dollus squinted into the next room, eyes strained to see with limited light.
He did catch sight of a strange, unnatural twitching of branches and leaf: a monster!
Blood drained from his face as he heard the thundering beating in his chest - now was the time!
★ Striking Blue Thunder, Charge Up! ★
As the blue sparks fizzled out, Thunder Blue brushes his hands together causing flashes and small rumbles of thunder.
"I knew I felt a storm brewing..."

Delmyth skewers the twig blight with her arrow; it falls over, unmoving.
Nope, nope nope, no, no, not doing this, please no. This is bad... hmm... uh... I guess I’ll have to do it. He starts his chant, and transforms!
Chant
Anubis, guider of souls, send this creature to where he belongs!
Mehen, protector of Ra, guide me from attacks of the evil!
Mau, keeper of the Tree, give me the knowledge to defeat this enemy!
Ogdoad, Masters of Elements, purge this being with fire!
And Neith, Mother and Creator, Create a boundary around me and the evil!

Haven’t used this account in forever. Still a big fan of crawling claws.
(Still waiting on coolasc to roll initiative, then we'll begin combat.)
I've already rolled 4 there, so was waiting for combat
(Oh, sorry! It was actually Whitefury that I was waiting on, but it's been a while so lets continue on.)
The vine blight swings its deadly vines at Ammon! (Attack: 15 Damage: 12)
...lets hope he's well armored! Dollus, Varanus and Ammon are up before the Needle Blight.

Thunder Blue claps his hands together and sparks of lightening spark through his body, but settle on his feet and spark up his legs every now and again.
He then dashes towards the closest monster, hands charged with lightening and blasting them with his magic!
