Rancorous Druids

Creature 11 — humanoid, troop

Followers of Rovagug must usually conceal their devotion to the Rough Beast, hiding in remote cave complexes or abandoned ruins; but they emerge from these strongholds when they sense weakness, gathering together into a destructive, homicidal mob to hunt down high-ranking priests of rival deities or slaughter entire towns. Alternatively, if their hidden bolthole is compromised, a mob of Rovagug's faithful might emerge-not hoping to save themselves, but intent only on taking their enemies with th

Abilities

Form Up — Form Up
Collective Swarm — The rancorous druids collectively transform into a swarm of Tiny insects. They cast Swarm Form heightened to 6th rank, but the duration is 1 hour instead of 5 minutes.
Troop Defenses — Thresholds 130 (3 segments), 65 (2 segments) Troop Defenses
Troop Movement — Whenever the troop Strides, they first Form Up as a free action to condense into a 20-foot-by-20-foot area (minus any missing squares), then moves up to their Speed. This works just like a Gargantuan creature moving; for instance, if any square of the troop enters difficult terrain, the extra movement cost applies to the whole troop.
Troop Spellcasting — When the rancorous priesthood Casts a Spell, their constituent members combine their efforts into casting a more powerful version of the spell than any one member could achieve alone. When Casting a Spell that has an area of a burst, cone, or line and doesn't have a duration, increase the area of that spell. Add 5 feet to the radius of a burst that normally has a radius of at least 10 feet (a burst with a smaller radius is not affected). Add 5 feet to the length of a cone or line that is normally 15 feet long or smaller, and add 10 feet to the length of a larger cone or line.
Wild Swing — 1 to 3 Frequency once per round Effect The members of the mob wildly swing their weapons-primarily greataxes-in a chaotic attack at each enemy adjacent to the troop (DC 27 Reflex save). The damage depends on the number of actions. 1 1d12+2 slashing damage 2 2d12+9 slashing damage 3 3d12+9 slashing damage
