Irice managed to avoid the entangling vines that popped out of the ground initially, moving 20' and getting ready to move in to strike at the bulb monster, notices that her reflexes aren't as good the second time around to avoid the creature's entangling vines. As she growls in frustration, she can see her tower shield and warhammer light up as the symbol of Torag flares briefly, illuminating her in it's light, her god allowing her to move through this vegetation as easily as she normally moves, and she'll charge at the bulb-monster, swinging her warhammer as she drops her tower shield at it's base, trying not to hit the kid inside but at the same time wanting to knock the pod monster over with her strength instead of let it digest the child.

Brelia is able to dodge out of the way of the initial vines. However, that does not change the fact that she is now inside a field of entangling roots and vines that can ensnare her should she choose to remain in their grip. Given that it's difficult to move around in the area, she can't exactly attack the source of these vines, either. So the first order of business is getting out of the affected area. She will perform a double move action in order to move 30 feet diagonally and forward, getting herself out of the way of the entangling vines while keeping her relatively close to the plant creature for a possible followup with her next move.

My apologies! I play 5e 95% of the time, so I thought 'Entangle, oh that inflicts the restrained condition, so I can't move until I break free, bugger', without checking up on it first! So Niss would indeed trudge 20 foot forwards grumbling away, before just ending up cussing and taunting the plant as her javelin flew wide over it!

[Zephyr42]

Adriaan curses himself for having a slow day as the plant tries to entangle him. He manages to roll out of the way, but it's close. Far too close. Time to do something about that. Adriaan loads his sling again. "Let's try this again," he says under his breath. "This time, no-"

He lets the bullet fly. He prays to every god he can think of as he watches the projectile go, even trying to argue why it would benefit them immensely to let them guide the bullet true. His breath holds... and it strikes! More than that, it strikes as hard as it can. A smile forms on Adriaan's face and he takes a quick look up at the heavens. "Thank you, gods," he says. "Round of those for the rest of the party, keep 'em coming!"

[Netjak]

Immensely annoyed by the pesky, clinging plants coiling around her long tail, tugging at her and trying to keep her in place, Nilia glared back the little soul-less sprouts as if they had any way of perceiving her wrath, before doing as close to a round-house kick with her tail as she could, wrenching herself free and uprooting many of the flourishing vines! Putting the few seconds worth of a breather and her rapidly rising anger to good use, the lamia launched another, much more well-placed throw towards the top of the giant bulb! Only for new-grown vines to latch onto her moments later when she wasn't looking! A low, grumbling, "Motherfucker!", might just barely be discernible in the cacophony of battle.

Don't worry i had to look it up too after i used it. XP

( Adriaan: 16: 30ft, Brelia: 16: 30ft, Kay: 10: 30ft, Creature (3) (11): 13, Jon: 8: 30ft, Nilia: 7: 40ft, Irice: 2: 30ft. )

The giant beast stomps around; throwing off Kay's attack attempts as she focuses on defense as she has to abort each time. Though it looks pretty from what the crowd can see through the brambles - a daring goat-girl bouncing around a flailing plant monster. Brelia wades carefully through the brambles. Adriaan's bullet once more strikes the bulb; which bounces against the stone before releasing it. It's definately doing something - but the beast is tough!

The creature stomps about as it tries to keep Kay off it, before its tentacle arm sweeps the brambles as a long feint, before curling back from behind to try and grab at Kay once more with a stabbing motion! (attack + Grab if successful) Then, with its other arm it glows a sickly dim purple before the magic released from its tentacle and a wave of pain runs through anyone within 30ft of the creature, pulsing out every few seconds. (Casts Decay. -1 str per round on those who remain in the 30ft aura and 1d6 damage. If you guys could roll this, i'd appreciate it. Jon/Nilia/Irice this round, everyone next round if you're within 30ft of it.)

(rolled 17 on Kay's AC, hits. take 7 damage. Grab is 14; misses.)

The thorned tentacle gashes at Kay, but it fails to curl around her waist as she jumps/ducks/escapes out of that particular problem. Though her muscles feel tired suddenly. (DC 12 con save or -1 dex)

(Jon has yet to act)

Nilia hurls her javelin over everyone's heads and it looks like it might hit the child, before it drops the tip just enough to impale the 'body' through a small portion of the bulb, causing it to flinch as it jostles the child within and stumbles towards the cliff, before recovering. Then, Irice charges into melee with the beast, slamming her hammer into its leg and causing it to lose its footing from the heavy blow, putting its rooted foot she hit to one knee while it relies on the dead tree for more support and causing it to bend and creak.

( Adriaan: 16: 30ft, Brelia: 16: 30ft, Kay: 10: 30ft, Creature (3) (43): 13, Jon: 8: 30ft, Nilia: 7: 40ft, Irice: 2: 30ft. )

The child, now with a torn hole from a weapon in the bulb attempts to enlarge the hole and squeeze out of the bulb, getting their upper body out. It's tight between the body of a javelin and the surprisingly dense bulbs flesh.

[Menyra]

First things first: after the child starts trying to escape through the hole Nilia created, Brelia will, as an immediate action, cast Liberating Command on the boy (he gets to use his own immediate action to perform an Escape Artist check at +2) "Get out of there and run, kid!" she calls to him.

http://orokos.com/roll/682631
Brelia takes 3 damage and a -1 strength penalty from Aura of Decay.

Just as she's getting close to the plant creature, Brelia finds herself being assaulted by a mysterious pain from something emanating from the gigantic plant. She knows almost immediately: she can't stay close to that thing. "Get away from it, all of you!" she calls out as she takes a five-foot step away from the creature: far enough that she doesn't feel like she's being assaulted by its magic anymore. Once that's done, she puts away her shield, then draws out her light crossbow.

(( Double move action: first move action is to de-equip her shield. second move action is to draw her light crossbow. ))

[Bright]

The wave of purple rattles Jon and he becomes short of breath as the pain surges through his body.
"Brelia, shoot at its glowy bits!" He calls out to Menyra and points at the giant plant.

Move action:
Combat Advice:
Designate an enemy; your ally gains a +2 competence bonus on her next attack roll against that enemy.2

Jon will also attempt to move as far as he can away from the aura of damage.

https://orokos.com/roll/682949 maximum 6 damage from decay, current strength 17 for +3 modifier
AC=15, HP=5/11, CMD for grapple=16
Activating the Liberation blessing for a second round in a row as a swift action due to failed reflex and using the run full round action, if it doesn't try to devour or knock out Irice before she can move.

Irice manages to land a solid blow on the bulbous plant creature, and she's exhalting in that fact even with the pesky vines there...until she finds herself becoming weaker due to the glowing tendril draining her strength and health, and perhaps because she's intimately connected with the earth, she feels the pain of the decaying aura all too clearly and staggers, nearly dropping her warhammer from the pain. The advice the kitty is giving her sounds reasonable enough, so she nods at Brelia and runs out of the creature's aura and entangling vines, though no sooner then she's out of the area of both affects then she turns back towards it. "If you wouldn't mind healing me kitty, I can lay it low with my warhammer from a distance I think." Irice says, panting as red/orange earth flesh flakes from decaying, turning into dust as it hits the ground. She looks at her tower shield she didn't dare try to pick back up while it's in the bulb-creature's aura, cursing that she'd dropped it but knowing she can't fight as well with it. She has healing magic and a potion from the arena still...she's heavily debating whether she should heal or try and bring this thing down instead. Of course, Brelia might be able to heal her...but then, she might be too busy healing herself too.

[Netjak]

With the sudden surge of withering energy pulsing out of the monster, and Brelia's advisory yell, Nilia would push through her anger, and instead of breaking free from the plants she would get in her toss a bit more quickly, then slowly retreat out of the decaying aura and tangling vines instead, now continuing her swearing from before, together with a very frustrated, "Then I have one more javelin before I need to find other stuff to throw at it!", as she did.

Altering Nilia's action slightly with the actions of the leafy monster, and from now on I'd like to write in her actions after the bulb, as per the turn order, so there won't be a need for constantly rewriting stuff. So no further post from Nilia until the plant finishes it's turn again.
Decay damage 3 https://orokos.com/roll/683012
Strength down to 20, no change in modifiers

[sansuki]

The prudent thing to do would be to do what Brelia said and get out of the area, pronto. Kay could, now that the kid was getting free, pull him out and bolt just as fast as her little hooves could take her, while also clearing the way for those with ranged weapons to fire unhindered. It'd also get her away from that weird purplish light that's sapping her strength. And it would get her out of the plants, if she could bolt fast enough. In all, there's a very compelling case for the faun to clear the area.

At about the same time, she can see Brelia's magic tugging the kid free, but much more importantly, a thorned vine lashes at Kay and gives her a long, painful, oozing wound that tears off enough of her new shirt to give the spectators a bit more of show than they'd bargained for. That tendril also tries to wrap around her, but Kay acting entirely on instinct bounds away from it with a bleat of rage before it can finish curling around her. Waves of weakness radiate from her wound, but Kay shakes her head and just bulls right through it. "CAN'T!" She calls back to Brelia, her blood up. "IT'LL GRAB ME IF I TRY TO GET OUT FROM UNDER IT NOW! GONNA FIX IT IN PLACE-"

Isolating one tendril that seems to be bearing most of the bulb's weight, Kay swings her sword in an overhead chop, this time ignoring the tentative worry of what might be around her so that she can focus on landing a true blow; the sword crashes down and almost through the vine. With another goat-y bleating baa, she lowers her head and charges at that same vine- angling her head and swinging it so that the point of her horns tear into oozing plant flesh enough to get stuck in, so that when Kay begins thrashing her head around the effect isn't unlike having some massively-jawed creature worrying the entire tendril off.


Grab misses Kay, but the damage lands. Also, -1 str takes her to 16, so no modification of attack/damage this turn.

[Zephyr42]

With the child crawling out of the plant monster, Adriaan has the feeling using his sling would be a bad idea. Especially after the monster almost falls off the cliff. Thus, he drops his sling to the ground. Instead, he draws out his hemp rope. Right after that, he draws out a grappling hook and ties it onto the rope. "SOMEBODY HEAVY, GET OVER HERE!" he shouts out. If someone answers his call, he tells them to start tying the rope around themselves.

(Using my turn to pull out and prepare a grappling hook.)

[Razgriz]

( Adriaan: 16: 30ft, Brelia: 16: 30ft, Kay: 10: 30ft, Creature (3) (54): 13, Jon: 8: 30ft, Nilia: 7: 40ft, Irice: 2: 30ft. )

Adriaan seems to get a clever idea based on what is happening with a monster on the edge of the cliff and a child caught in the crossfire. His attention to this singular action means the rope is tightly secured on the metal hook as he bellows for help.
Meanwhile, Brelia shouts at the kid to get free; which he finally does so and begins to tumble before grasping onto the javelin and bouncing on that while it bounces from the movements of the creature groaning below.
When Kay is struck; audiable gasps can be heard from the distant crowd over all the bluster, Kay is able to identify the 'root' tentacle that it's using to cast magic and hack at it, loosening its hold and causing the tendril to unloop from the tree and instead bind around its own wound. Her headbutt simply scarring further at the plant matter and making it ball up into a messy knuckle of vines.

The creature seems to have had enough and takes a step back, its large tentacle it had been using to assault Kay with reaching down and going for its next handhold while the boy precariously gripped at the javelin with a squeal as it began to drop backwards-

(Jon/Nilia/Irice can change their posts if they choose, but still take aura effects (if in range) this round. Adriaan/Brelia/Kay can still post. Brelia gets +2 to her action.)

It seems like the next few seconds would be critical for the heroes, as (presuming nobody alters course) Jon shouts for his ally to target its pulsing glowing spore-sacs, Nilia alongside others would retreat alongside Irice who got alongside Brelia while dodging a whip-like swipe from the big creature as its knuckled, bleeding vine outstretches briefly before coming back in.

At least the dead tree is thankful.

(kay gets an AoO if she chooses)

[sansuki]

In passing, Kay lashes out at the nearest tentacle coming near the prickly faun with her sword. "HAH! Running away, are you!?" She bellows.


AOO Sword: 1d20+4 13 I can't remember if that hits, so,
Damage: 1d6+3 8

[Netjak]

Ready to dip back in within range to throw her final javelin, then retreat again to avoid the damaging aura surrounding the creature, Nilia barely catches Adriaan's yell, but does acknowledge it albeit with a grumble, and does come slithering on over. "You know, you can just call for me!", the noodle puffs as she slithers through the vines and decay all the way to her comrade. She does however refuse tying it around her, instead holding it in her hands as she huffs, "I am not tying a grappling hook to myself and risking the plant dragging me off the cliff when it retreats or falls... I can grab and pull at it though!" before taking hold of the other end of the rope.

This would be in turn order right before right after the plant's last move, so with a prepared action to pull in whatever Adriaan hooks, Nilia will do so before the plant can act again, with a hold action to pull on the rope.

[Menyra]

Hearing Jon's instruction, Brelia takes aim at the creature's glowing spore sacs, ready to fire... but before she can even start loading, she hears the squeak of a terrified boy about to fall from a high place, either onto the ground or off the cliff with the retreating plant. "Urgh... damn it!" she shouts in frustration before rushing headlong toward the plant creature, and coincidentally, toward Kay. "Don't worry, kid! We'll catch you! Let go before it's too late!" she calls to him while running to Kay's side. Once she's there, she sees the horribly weakened state of her ally, and as such, she casts Cure Light Wounds on her, to keep her in fighting shape.

[Zephyr42]

Right as he finishes, Adriaan feels the pain. It's horrendous, and he cries out as the aura rakes him like claws. He can also feel his strength ebb away from him, and his pack feels much heavier. Still, he manages to keep himself standing as he twirls the grappling hook and lets it fly. It's destination...
