I was referring/thinking primarily of entangle/spike growth, then have the wolves rescue After that would a hit with the thornheart or started straight into sunrays, alternating a rescue in between. That's a bad ass druid pet (pack of wolves), though another may have have worked better in that situation. Maybe the Falcon, tends to dodge better than the eagle, and hit harder. And she was prepared to fight that battle if she was running with the wolves, because they arent called anywhere near the village. And then only in one place and under certain conditions, which of course, I won't go into. If it was a spur of the moment decision prolly would have grabbed an eagle, since those can be called in the Dwarven forest. had she fled and herbed herself. set up briar tangle. and wait. that would have been more dex knocked off the opponent, lending to better aid from the wolves/treant. That is of course if it hadn't killed him outright from the damage from the briars.
> 1. You can't make spikes on fresh green fields near battle's cabal.
> Only entangle. // At least it was like that in my time.
> 2. By the time you've communed thornhear+entangle+try spikes (7 rounds) you would be dead if not rescue yourself in a middle.
> Even then opponent would be near perfect health.
> 3. Is Varg arial ? It is nearly impossible to thornheart races with high dex.
> Success ratio of it is close to ratio of holding elf with 'hold person'.
> 4. Though druids do not have scrolls/staves/wands you still can get some protections.
> Easiest to get and not limited are stone skin and shield. (You can get haste/aura but that is troublesome.)
> Charging blindely is rager-berserker style.
>
> Can't thing anything else.
> In this case if I were druid I would :
> spelled up minimum with :protection metals/fly/armor of thorns/fly/stone skin/shield
> Started fight with entangle, rescued myself immediatly and after went for sunrays.

> OR // If I knew I could not win but want to make a lot of trouble for opponent and have courage to do it :
> I would go entange/thornheart/spores/forest haven/quaff return.
> If it would be succesfull opponent would be practically disabled for about 120 hours.
> It is very annoying believe me.
