Small Earth Elemental

Whether a patch of odd crystals in a ruined corridor, a pool of oddly turbulent water in a forest grove, a roaring breeze even indoors, or a cozy campfire with malevolent eyes, elementals can be found almost anywhere. Many elementals are spontaneous manifestations, creatures of elemental nature that have arisen from either natural or unnatural circumstance. Other elementals are deliberately made things, summoned or created by those with malevolent purpose, set as immortal guardians or stalkers of the world.

Elementals may be fairly common or quite rare, depending upon the setting. In all cases, elementals provide plenty of challenges and fun for those heroic enough to face them.

An earth elemental looks like a pile of rocks and dirt, perhaps with the odd plant rooting in it. When dormant, earth elementals are very hard to spot, since they might be resting ten feet underground, and even if they are on the surface, one pile of rocks and soil looks much like any other.

But when they manifest their raging essence, earth elementals are unmistakable, masses of rock and soil given terrible vitality and a fervent wish to destroy whatever has drawn their anger. Earth elementals change shape less than other sorts of elementals, but their form is certainly not fixed. They can look like anything, as long as that thing is made of stone and soil.

Ability-1-Name = Upheaval Ability-1-Type = Su Ability-1-Concentration = Ability-1-Description = Once per encounter as a full attack action, the earth elemental may move up to its full Earth Glide distance. This movement does not provoke attacks of opportunity and it may move underneath any enemy squares without problems. When it stops moving, the elemental heaves violently to the surface. Any enemy figure whose space is completely or partially inside the elemental's space is violently tossed aside. The elemental may move any and all creatures affected by upheaval to any square adjacent to its space. This is considered a forced movement and does not provoke. All creatures moved in this way may make a Reflex save versus a DC of . If they fail this save, they are rendered Prone adjacent to the elemental. Save or not, they take points of bludgeoning damage.

CombatTactics = Earth elementals will usually lie below the surface or on the surface, waiting with infinite patience. When they detect an enemy with their tremorsense, they will use Earth Glide to investigate, again from below the surface, and will often appear near a party to give them a good look. If they then decide to attack, they will move as close as possible and then use Earth Glide to bring off an Upheaval, to scatter their foes as widely as possible.

If they suffer attacks from a flying foe, they will use five foot steps or Earth Glide to pull away from melee and target that foe with Hurled Rocks in preference of all other foes, and if Hurled Rocks is not being effective, they will Earth Glide under the surface of the ground to escape the ranged attacks and withdraw. In such cases they do not give treasure and xp, and will frequently follow such a foe from beneath the ground and attack again, usually while they are sleeping or during another combat.

Earth elementals are slow, stubborn things and will rarely break off a melee combat once begun. If they do decide to flee, they will Earth Glide away.

OutOfCombat = Small Earth Elementals are rarely on the Prime Material plane unless summoned. In those cases, they are bound to the service of their summoner for some period of time (often until sunset or dawn of the same day, though sometimes as long as a year and a day, in the case of powerful bindings). Those who gain access to the Prime Material plane by themselves, or escape a binding rarely survive for more than a few weeks, as this plane is too loosely packed, and unsettled.

Earth Elementals are also frequently bound to objects and structures, where they serve to strengthen and reinforce such things. It is common for such bindings to last a very, very long time, and it is possible to encounter Earth elementals in ruins, where they have escaped from being bound to the walls and foundation.

In many cases, these unbound elementals achieve a kind of insanity before fading out, usually in their last few days before dying in this very inhospitable environment so far from their home.
