"Hey, get off the goil! And Zes too!" Hobbes steps back and fires a pair of arrows at the one grappling Percy.
Let her go stupid evil plant... monsters!
The felinerai growled moving forward, grabbing her arms and trying to yank her free from the bad plant. He felt... he felt like he was gonna lose his lunch he had yet to eat but he got ready to tug at the gnome anyways.
"Bwah! Stupid Witch-plant! Can ayone call forth Darkness? They can't function in the dark!" He shouts as he runs over to help Silence pull Percy free from the creature.
Like Percy, Zses is unable to do anything as the enemy jumps on him. He can ear Lyosha scream something about casting a darkness spell: still feeling dizzy from the creature's scream, he barely manages to retrieve a scroll from his scroll case.
GET OFF HIM!
Hearing the commotion Sigrun turns on her heel to see the child plant monsters latched onto her friends, dashing forward she brings her hammer crashing down on the creature biting into Percy.
"DIE!!!"
You lay into the plant monsters and inflict some damage to Percy's assailant, but fail to down it. Zes retrieves a scroll.
Round Two
Confused by this action, his attacker releases him. Percy, meanwhile, fails to extricate herself and continues to lose blood .

Trying and failing to free Percy from the creature feasting on her broke something within him, for he let go of ger and took his sword, formerly covered in chill start to emit steam as it quickly thawed along with some of the darker scars on his body going from seemingly emitting bits of smoke to glowing red hot as if heated steel was under his skin. He doesn't say anything as be brings the blade down on the creature.
Hobbes continues to unload arrows in the plant creature holding Percy.
Hands still shaking, Zses moves into the room where the Mandragoras were. Waiting for the others to attack, he finally pulls out the scroll and start reading it, his eyes darting toward the mandragora to prevent it from attacking. After the witch finishes his incantation nothing happens for a second, but then the scroll crumbles to dust without effects.
"Darn!"
Percy's vision narrows as more blood escapes her. She pushes and struggles with little hope for success. Instead of screaming she is now whimpering and grunting, half from desperate struggling with charred and sensitive arms, half from involuntary convulsions as she is drained.
Her own rage taking hold, Sigrun hammers wildly at the creature attacking Percy, her body radiating life and power.
Drops shield and morningstar and moves to rip the plant thing off Percy.
Your combined efforts slaughterfy Percy's vampiric buddy.
Percy gasps as the thing comes off and starts to cough violently. She comes just short of collapsing completely.
Silence tries to swallow back the bile instead once more half doubling over trying to to lose his lunch, yesterdays lunch and last weeks lunch. his ears drooped from the effort.
The remaining plant monster lashes out at Zes, Percy, and Hobbes. All three are hit, and Zes finds himself once again in the thing's clutches.
New Round
Neverhome shuffles past Hobbes almost unaware of the Halfing before bringing his blade down on the second plant creature.
Sigrun scoops Percy up and hands her to Vashti before advancing toward the plant monster. "Don't worry, Percy, you're safe now"
Hobbes eyes widen as his sanity is temporarily taken and he bashes his head into his bow.

Vashti's touch is almost magical. As soon as she feels the safety of Mommy the nausea calms and she is able to breathe again.
With a portion of her remaining strength, Percy reaches into her magical reserves and casts a spell to solidify the solidarity and unity the group was displaying.
Zses's vision blurs when the creature starts again to suck the life out of him. "Whew, at least Percy's safe..." he manages to say faintly. "But I assure that you, you ugly son of a turnip, are in a much different situation..." he manages to grin, glaring at the creature and laughing shortly.
Ugly son of a turnip...I hope I survive this to use that again...
GET THAT @#$%^&*@#$%^&*( SHRUBBERY OFF ZSESTRIAN!!!
Quickly looking over Percy, she realizes the extent of her injuries.
Pharasma grant this one health and vitality, her time is not now.
Percy moans quietly in relief as the healing magic cascades through her battered body.
Zes successfully hexes the plant beast, but his allies are unable to connect with their attacks. It proceeds to suck out some more of his blood .
New Round
Neverhome tilts his head at an odd angle before bringing the blade against the plant creature again in a sudden jerky motion.
Hobbes again bashes his head in with his bow.
Stepping into the room to allow the others a clear path, Sigrun is unable to gain a clear strike at the creature without endangering Zses.
The wave of sickness seemed to have passed and the felinerai moved quickly hoping to free friend Zsestrian before it hit again. He withdrew his katana in one fell swoop his slash an intricate dance that cut a swath around the witchs body, hopefully causing enough damage in not to kill the weed, than to make it decide to let go.
Zses gasps for breath as the plant keeps sucking his blood. With faint voice, he whispers a shadowy curse.
"परिशुष्यति च पतति, कण्टकोद्धरण!"
Seeing his friends starting to chop up the enemy, Zses laughs triumphantly.
"See, what did I told you? You'll be dead salad in a couple of seconds!"
Allie waits for the doorway to be vacated.
Seeing Zes weakening, Vashti rips her dagger from its sheath at the small of her back and drives it into the plant thing in desperation.
Reeling in pain, the plant creature drops Zes and begins backing away. It continues to fight, however, and catches Zes and Silence with its limbs .
New Round
Sigrun once again swings her hammer at the horrible bloodsucking creature trying to crush it in her rage.
Neverhome does not let the creature advance.
The creature collapses under the force of Neverhome's blow.
Neverhome stares at the carcass of the creature before letting out a breath, his flushed body slowly fading back to its usual pale gray snow color. The scars dotting him burn out while the rest of him is wringing with sweat, only the smell of burnt wood and flesh wafting in the air remaining behind.
After a long moment of looking at Percy and Zsestrian Neverhome finally manages to croak out, "You can get up now. Mamushka, make them get up. Please get up..."
As she lowers her hammer Sigrun's breathing slows, her grip still white knuckled on it's haft as she tries to let go of the all consuming anger. Looking over her shoulder at Percy looking a good deal better she starts to calm down, helping Zses over towards Vasthi.
Percy slowly sits up at Neverhome's pleading. She feels much better than she did, but that's not saying a lot. She still feels weak and, well, drained.
I'm ok, Lyosha. She says softly. Mommy has already taken care of me.
Hearing Percy's voice Neverhome lets out a much deeper breath as he stumbles to his knees. "That is good, da."
Hobbes finally shakes off the confusion to find the creatures all dead. He drops his bow with the new hobbit-shaped imprints and helps Percy up. "I was so worried about you, I kept hittin' myself, Gorgeous. Heh." He says inbetween breathes.
Percy manages a weak but mischievous smile before retorting, Well, next time hit the evil monsters, eh?
"Ya know, that never occurred to me." Hobbes chuckles as some blood runs down his face.
