Warden
The charging minotaur’s bellowed cry
becomes a thunderous crash as a pillar of ice
erupts in its path, the ground shuddering
from the impact of horn and frost. A large
man advances on the wreckage, his armor
covered in rime, even as fire crackles from his
fist.
The bloodthirsty howls of the werewolf pack
turns to confusion when the scrawny elf that
looked only to be dinner rebuffs a massive
werewolf’s charge, their arms swelling in size
becoming bear-like limbs, dwarfing the
surrounding werewolves’ own once
impressive claws. All around, the werewolf
pack can only look on in confusion as the elf
continues to grow, grabbing and flinging a
yelping werewolf like a rag doll.
The goblins have only a moment of glory,
springing their ambush and pouring out of the
forest upon the hapless group of humans
before the plants beneath their feet writhe to
life. To their shock and horror they find
grasping vines dangling them from trees like
misbegotten ornaments, frantically trying to
remember the word in common for ‘surrender’.
The bandit looks at his broken weapon haft
in confusion, and then back up at the large
woman in strange rocky armor that seems
unaffected by the weapon that has just been
broken against her. His confusion lasts only a
moment before the earth heaves beneath him
and tosses him from his feet in a violent
crunching shake. ‘Urk!’, a crushing force
explodes the air from his lungs, a heavy stone
to purpose and cause. They channel their power as a
boot planted on his chest as the large jagged form
conduit, bringing it to heel through force of will and
looms over him.

cannot end your turn inside another creatures or
