"Tis a good kitteh! I'm glad you've found peace in this world. Go and visit the Cat Lord."
Kappi smiles at the strange moment. Not so long ago something like seeing the shade of a dead cat and speaking with it would have been the weirdest thing he'd ever seen. But lately, not so much...
The party pauses a moment for Edward to heal everyone with his magic boots (or whatever, Kappi still didn't quite understand how it worked).
While Ali stands guard, the others search for the stump monster's hidden treasure hoard.
Perception Kappi
Davosh
Edward
even Vojtek helps after he takes a breather,
It seems the beast's treasure hoard was solely what was offered to Davosh.

Once the party is completely healed and Vojtek recovers from his fatigue, they keep exploring.
Kappi goes a little ahead of group to scout.
Stealth
Perception
A tangled mass of overflowing weeds and thorny brambles grows in profusion here. A scattering of bleached bones lies entwined in the barbed tendrils of the wiry thicket.
(It is located right at the bend on the map, though it's not visible to anyone but Kappi right now.)
The rogue quickly slinks back to his comrades and informs them of another DAMN plant monster. The lad searches the bag of holding for an Agent Orange bomb in vain...
Kappi is ready to use his Vanish trick and sneak attack the monster. If everyone wants to go forward and attack.
Or we can head back to some of the other doors or paths.
Are we pausing till March?
Kappi reports the presence of another man-eating plant and seeks consensus on what the party should do next.
"I'm all for taking another one out. Especially if WE have the drop on IT." Liska nods.
"I'm all for taking another one out. Especially if WE have the drop on IT." Liska nods.
Kappi does like that idea. He smiles and thinks about using his Vanish trick to land a vicious cut on the creature.

Well if it's a man-eating plant, perhaps I should take it on myself. Ali grins and glances sideways at the wiry barbarian ...unless Vojtek wants to join me.

For just a moment the lad gives the elf an odd look. Clearly the joke passed right over him. But after half a second he gave it no more thought. Quite often Ali or especially Davosh would say things the lad could make no sense of.
"I can open with a bolt of lightning Kappi, right after you hit it of course. I'll also give you some magical Aid first. Ali should be holding a spell ready, and Vojtek can charge forth."
"Sounds like a giant flytrap. Not sure if you've seen the normal ones. They're weird. They need to eat insects do to the poor nitrogen content in the soil. Really they're a very niche organism. Fascinating stuff. Fascinating. You'll be fine."
Liska yips, "Oh yeah, they can engulf you and dissolve your flesh if you get to close."
The Varisian lad listens to OjosLocos words. With nervous energy he bounces lightly on the balls of his feet and shakes his wrists/hands out. He looks to the others to make sure everyone is ready.
Davosh first grants the Aid of the Ancestors to Kappi: .
Davosh will levitate once close and pull out some fur and a glass rod.
TS, can we get the Plant Monster on the map?
Kappi plans to use Stealth and his Vanish trick to sneak attack, and help set up a flank for Vojtek.
Lets Go!
Davosh will levitate up so that he can safely target the plant and ONLY the plant. He'll hurl a lightning bolt as soon as Kappi stabs it.
Ali casts a spell, and bright sparks pulse off her blade
Ready. After you, warrior. she nods to Vojtek.

Ed limbers up his bow, and with a near silent whisper and clasp on the shoulder he imbues each person with the guidance of Apsu, saving Vojtek for last.
Ed knows the dragon tongue gets Vojteks blood boiling so he speaks it. Northman, I feel the blood pulsing though you getting warmer and warmer. This enemy can swallow you whole, so challenge it, but be mindful of Davosh above. I want you to first challenge it to distract it from Kappi, then you can loosen your weapon, and remove this creature from our borrowed hut.
The young rogue uses his Vanish trick and stealths it around the long way to set up a flank.

Surprise Round
Sneaking right up to the plant, the lad waits for just a moment. Seeing a floating OjosLocos ready to cast, the lad strikes.

Ali steps forward, ready to mix it up...
Edward's arrow sails overhead as Ali closes the distance!
The huge plant begins to respond to the stimulus, and suddenly both Kappi and Vojtek can see clearly that this thing has multiple maws! It shifts slightly to its left and...
One plant mouth snaps at Kappi!
Another plant mouth snaps at Vojtek!
And a third plant mouth snaps at Ali!
It pulls Ali adjacent!
One more unoccupied plant mouth remains!

Round 1
The lad gives a scream as the huge maw grabs him! While still terrifying its not the first time a huge monster grabbed and tried to swallow him. Sweet Desna, this is like the fourth or fifth time! Keeping his few wits about him, the lad brings his magic blade to bear on the bugger plant.

Having had the spell cast of him several times now. Kappi feels the familiar magic and the lad just goes with it. His slim body gives some powerful and quick wiggles
Liberating comand + escape artist
Despite Edward's immediate-action spell, Kappi is held fast, and both of his arrows sail wide his first arrow sinks in!
The giant flytrap tries to eat its meal(s)...
Engulf is a special form of pinning, and an engulfed creature can escape in the same way as he can from being pinned, but since an engulfed creature is contained wholly inside the plant's jaws, the flytrap's victim cannot be targeted by effects or attacks that require line of sight or line of effect. A giant flytrap that is grappling or pinning a foe cannot attack other targets with that bite, but is not otherwise hindered.

Davosh, now within the giant flytrap's reach thanks to its five-foot step last round, faces the last mouth!
It pulls Davosh adjacent!
