Well, first of all, here's a log of this animated magus absolutely dominating me with Nature's Fury (and ending my hunt). The next log after it involves a GM telling me (and everyone else, I assume) not to animate in the Temple for at LEAST a week. I'm not sure why, however. Just a heads-up.

The paths that once led between the buildings of the village have been strangled by the teeming mass of thorny vines and small bushes that have already engulfed nearly everything within sight. Nearby, the meeting hall is nearly hidden amid the tangle of vines, and the temple door is barely passable due to the great clumps of feeders hanging down from its high arch. You also see a siren lizard.

[Teras Isle, Fhorian Village]
The paths that once led between the buildings of the village have been strangled by the teeming mass of thorny vines and small bushes that have already engulfed nearly everything within sight. Nearby, the meeting hall is nearly hidden amid the tangle of vines, and the temple door is barely passable due to the great clumps of feeders hanging down from its high arch. You also see a siren lizard.

You see GameMaster Tolli Miraleaf.
She appears to be a Half-Elf.
She appears to be very young and very tall. She has sleepy black eyes and fair skin. She has very long, thick red hair divided into several elegantly twisted sections and adorned with some tiny golden oak leaf hairjewels. She has an upturned nose and angular pointed ears.
She has a tattoo of a delicate weeping willow standing guard over a spring brook on her wrist.
She is in good shape.
She is holding a brown backpack in her right hand and a stein of weak brown ale in her left hand.
She is wearing a flowing robe composed of delicate gauzy layers, a verdant silk backpack cinched with a tasseled gold cord, a roomy satchel clasped with a leaf-shaped invar button, a tiny arched invar pin inscribed with the words "Order of the Helping GameHost" adorned with a tiny suspended golden oak leaf charm, a gold star, and a crystalline prism suspended from a braided vaalin chain.
