The fox, still possessing her vision delivers a healing hex to the man
<--crap
Ali gets a glimpse of Ed being eaten by a tree, before being blinded by the other tree. She cries out EDWARD!! before a sharp yell, and a most unladylike curse, in reaction to the bright flash.
her hand whips to her belt, and mirror images appear around her. She wades into battle, hoping to at least provide Kappi with a flank--and maybe some cover for Vojtek.
<--success
Davosh is blinded but Liska, emerging from the folds of his oversized cloak, is not, and delivers some health to Edward!
Ali raises some defenses and manages to get in some help for Vojtek!
A bit of Vojtek's damage on Red heals as it tries to finish its dinner before looking into desert!
Edward is immediately wrapped in a tight digestive cocoon and expelled into an adjacent square! He is surrounded by thick strands that constrict and digestive juices!
Blue lashes out at Ali!

Liska in sight of the moonflower with the red petals opens HER eyes wide. They shine the same blue as her master.
Kappi would be creeped out...if he could see Liska take on her protector's crazy eye!
Davosh then cackles in delight!
Round 2
Unable to see, but knowing the plant is still in front of him. The lad feels his only option is to attack. Wielding double magic short swords he cuts and cuts and cuts...

Davosh's gambit succeeds, thanks to brave (u)Liska!
Kappi flails about but cannot seem to find the plant! Ali, blind as well, is more successful; Vojtek can see that the electricity had no effect on the plant, but the fire was much more effective!

Round 2 Raging Vojtek
While blind with fury, but NOT truly blind in an ocular sense. The northman lashes out with steel corded muscle. His giant ax flashes several times, even his dragon-like maw bites at the plant.

and of course Vojtek says something to the effect of "kill it with fire!!" right?
Votjek's axe glances off the plant's tough hide twice, but he does get a chunk of it with his bite!
Blue tries to take out the firebringer!
The last of the elf's images vanish, and the final tentacle lands!
Red turns its attention to Vojtek!
Both tentacles lash the Northman!
More of the damage previously inflicted on Red heals up!
Meanwhile, Edward is crushed and digested in his cocoon!

Round 3
The Varisian lad can almost see, he takes a moment to rub his eyes on his sleeve, but its to no avail. Will be a few moments more till his sight is back. He is pretty sure the blur in front of him is the plant monster. He can't see but he can hear the barbarian's raging fury and even Ali's fierce battle cries on the other side of the giant flora. The lad keeps doing his best to cut away at the plant in his blinded state.

Knowing she won't be able to take the abuse these beasties are dishing out, Ali reaches for the rod in her belt a second time!
Then she continues to try to take Red down.

at least one of those will confirm, so I'll regain 1 Arcane Pool point. If the first attack fells Red, can I 5' step to blue?

He then disregards his own advice and attempts to kill it with edged weaponry.

His exceptionally enthusiastic attack is driven in part by a burning rage at seeing his Oradin eaten.
Ali curses, drops her flaming sword (which goes out), and draws out her backup weapon--the warhammer. she expends more arcane energy, empowering it with fire, before striking.
Make hammer +2 Flaming
Also, because Ali is blind, she could not have made a five-foot step.
** spoiler omitted **
Davosh screams like a madman. His voice cracks, but the crack becomes unnatural. Soon it turns to words, discordant and terrible.
"NON POTES! NON POTERIS! NUMQVAM! TIBI VERBA DEFIXIONIS DO!"
Liska runs in
Liska takes a lash on her snout, but makes it through to touch Blue!

Also, Ali still has a miss chance, despite being grappled (I know, but them's the rules).

Ali decides to try to burn her wya out of the cocoon. Calling upon the power of the Ancients granted by Davosh, she casts Burning Hands, stilled. She also adds her innate powers to strengthen the flames!
I'm hoping DMTS will agree with me that a Stilled spell is ok to do while grappled. :-)

- Round the Fifth
- Current HPs: 111+5=116
Vojtek pivots and steps east with a quick shuffle-step. He roars in a surprisingly deep and alarmingly inhuman manner and commences another set of wildly powerful strikes! A shimmer of what appear to be spectral wings flex over his shoulders for a moment, and the odd scaly texture of his skin seems especially pronounced... or is it a trick of the light?

A frenzy of blows from Vojtek and Kappi lay the plant low, just as Edward emerges from his cocoon, beaten and bloodied but very much alive!!
Kappi's sharp eyes spy the leftover remnants of a separate cocoon, likely from long ago, nestled in the bushes. Within is a suit of extremely light chainmail made of very fine mithral links, alongside a simple sack that seems to have not been damaged in any way by its ordeal.
can't fail the first spellcraft
Ali whistles low Elven chain mail, magical! Sexy!! Don't you think this would look good on me, Kappi??? Ali holds the beautiful shirt up to her, posing for the young man with a twinkle in her eye.
Huh. It's some kind of haversack. Dunno what it is, but it seems pretty handy.
"HEWARD!" Davosh shouts the name, though it's meaningless to other ears. "Indeed Ali, indeed. Check it out!"
Davosh rummages through all three pouches, looking for things.
Gezuntheit
Inside the handy haversack (presented by Heward), Davosh finds 24 platinum pieces!

Ali whistles low Elven chain mail, magical! Sexy!! Don't you think this would look good on me, Kappi??? Ali holds the beautiful shirt up to her, posing for the young man with a twinkle in her eye.
The lad blushes furiously and somewhat uncomfortably nods to the elf warrior. Kappi still hasn't figured out exactly his relationship to Ali. He considers her somewhere between cute older sister and great great greatAunt.
Vojtek huffs and puffs with what appears to be small ice particles and snowflakes blowing out of his mouth among the water vapor steam. He asks to see the bag when he has caught his breath.
After healing is taken care of. The lad checks out the double doors. He does NOT open them.

checking out doors and listens
The healing takes a few extra minutes this time. Ed does take the time to clean all of his equipment.
That's some nice mail, when you're done could you prestidigitate my equipment while I get this this ...this stuff off of me? Ed asks politely while he flicks his hand causing the viscous fluid to splat on the ground.
He creates enough water with the blessing of Apsu to become presentable again. Since you were swallowed also Ed pauses and shudders just a bit. I would be happy to create enough water for you to clean yourself also Miss Ali
