"We have to kill them somehow. Can you target them with spells."
"Mmmm... hu... that's a nice flower, thanks Erik..." mumbles Leira as she is being pushed "Mmm.. hu... argh!" she screams a bit when she sees the dwarf over her.
"W-what happened?!" she attempt to shake her head out of the sleep.
The girl will attempt to target the plants with her bow. If that is not possible she will try to hit as much possible targets with a burning hands, her last spell.
Standing outside the room, Haskyll looks in with interest.
Aye, they don't look so dangerous, but let us just take what we need before we blow the room up.
Haskyll starts rooting in his belt pouch for some candles where he pinches some off and uses it to plug his nose. He then offers the candle to the others to use in the same way.
Then while the others are waiting he calls upon Torag

Ulfgard points out an Xtabay to Leira. Leira targets the plant and kills it with an arrow. Slowly you move through the corridor, targeting and taking out the sleep inducing plants one at a time. There is a door at the end of the corridor.
| 1 person marked this as a favorite. |
Leira will check and find the door safe. Beyond the double doors is a flight of steps heading up. A ten foot wide corridor bends around to another set of double doors. Leira again determines the corridor and the next set of double doors to be free of traps or other obstacles.
When Leira opens this next set of double doors she sees a large, arched chamber that provides a grim contrast to the Vault’s other life-filled rooms. Instead of lush vegetation, she sees a massive briar patch and layers of thick humus forming high mounds throughout the room. Hundreds of varieties of fungi choke out any attempt for healthy plants to root, and the air is heavy with the stench of decay. At the chamber’s eastern end, a large, swollen wooden chest sits atop a high mound of compost.
"Leira, many people think we dwarven are despoilers, but nothing could be further from the truth. Yes we have our tendencies, but we are always trying to live and improve our environment. Also going havoc in a druidic plane seems unwise."
That's the truth.
Ragnir gives a grunt of approval at Ulfgard's statement and then looks at the next room. Seems like someone's already been wreaking havoc in here, dwarven or no'
"I think I can try to reach the chest without crossing the briars. Do you think that is a good idea?" says Leira.
She observes the plants and the place trying to make a better idea of the situation.
I don't think it would be best, but we are going to have to cross it anyways.
He hefts his gear, and follows along.
Ulfgard can only guess at this time that it may be a rare Bramblebight infesting this room. He will know that such creatures are a stain on the land they infect, causing a blight in the areas they touch. They are thorny plant creatures that should be avoided. But that will be hard to do if you want to reach the chest.
A vine comes up out of one of the mounds and attacks the one in the lead.
Ulfgard will be a bit puzzled as this vine, though similar, does not fully have the characteristics of a Brambleblight.
Round One
Ewigga takes a defensive posture.
The vine attacks Leira, but the nimble Rogue Arcanist was too quick and the thorny arm failed to stick into the Female Human.
Faced with the monstrous plant, Leira uses her arcane reservoir to dimensional slide out of the reach of the terrible enemy.
Once out of the reach, letting the strongest of the dwarves to face the creature, she raises her bow and shots!
"Plants shood be chopped inta bits n cuked in a Dwarvish stew," Ingrahild, Dwarven Waraxe in hand, attacks the vine.
The thorny vine strikes the brave, but somewhat reckless female Dwarf, wrapping Ingrahild around into its prickly grasp. The Dwarf Ranger drops her Dwarven Waraxe, but has enough presence of mind to unsheathe her hand axe.
Ragnir moves up behind Kaos and offers a short prayer, "Torag, lend this dwarf-friend the strength of the roots of the world, make him as mighty as the mountain."
Round One Start recap
Ewigga maintains a defensive posture.
Ragnir touches Kaos, giving the big human Bull's Strength.
Kaos brings up a Shield.
A vines rises from one of the high mounds and lashes out at Leira, the one in the lead. It misses the Rogue Arcanist.
The somewhat reckless Ingrahild attacks the vine. But the thorny appendage reacted to the attack and grabs the Dwarf Ranger. Ingrahild drops her Dwarven Waraxe and pulls out her handaxe.
Leira vanishes, then instantly reappears 20 feet (6 meters) back toward the door. She shoots an arrow at the vine. The magically infused shaft sticks into the vine monster.
Moving to the vine Ulfgard let's his hammer speak.
Round One continued
Anga cast a Force Missile at the vine.
Ulfgard moves up and crunches the vine.
Round Two
Ewigga maintains a defensive posture.
At the chest and rising out of the mound is a much larger vine monster. Ulfgard will know this to be the actual Brambleblight. The previous vine was an animated vine likely controlled by the larger monster.
The Animated Bramble squeezes tightly around Ingrahild.
The main Brambleblight rises and fires a volley of thorns at the party.
"Oi, Leira, can you enlargen me again, be a good girl!"
Ragnir steps up and hacks at the vine creature, "Dwarven lasses don' like bein' hugged tha' tight ye overgrown weed!"
Ragnir critically strikes the Animated Bramble. It falls limp releasing its grasp of Ingrahild.
"Be sure, that is gonna happen!" says Leira smiling and raising her free hand and casting enlarge person on Ulfgard!
Haskyll moves up, and touches Kaos on the shoulder
He then taps ingrahild on the shoulder as she lands near him.
You all have to stop getting hit like this.
Anga attacks with another force missile
Ingrahild puts away her handaxe. She then retrieves her Dwarven Waraxe, "I have had a nuff of this place."
Round One complete
Haskyll moves to Kaos, touching the big human and providing him healing.
Round Two
Ewigga remains outside the room.
Ragnir critically strikes the Animated Bramble. It swoops over lifeless.
The main Brambleblight appears launching a volley of thorny projectiles at the party.
Kaos moves thirty feet toward the main Brambleblight.
Ingrahild recovers her Dwarven Waraxe.
Leira cast Enlarge Person on Ulfgard.
Anga cast a Force Missile at the main Brambleblight.
Haskyll provides healing to the female Dwarf Ranger.
Ulfgard waits to get big.
Round Three
Ewigga watches the action.
Ragnir begins moving towards the other plant, shield in front of him covering almost all of his body.
When Kaos, Ragnir and anyone else moves within forty feet of the Brambleblight you sense a palpable aura of rot and decay.
Another larger vine rises up out of the humus mound between Kaos and the Brambleblight.
Ulfgard also tries to get closer.
Ingrahild, seeing a group move left, Ulfgard in the center, she moves to the right, "Argh! That's worse thun a donkey's arse."
Haskyll walks up and taps Kaos on the shoulder.
Torag will help you laddie, trust the maker
Looking left and right Ulfgard takes a last breath before falling into rage, ready to hammer that tree into submission.
As Leira finishes her spell, Ulfgard gets large as a giant.
She then advances towards the plants raising her bow at the ready.
Resisting the horrible smell she shots once again, this time towards the new vine.
Burn ye crazy plants!
Anga started crying out words of heat and flame contained as a firey bead formed. Then She flung the bead, to hit between both plants.
DC 18 for half
Round Three
Ewigga watches the action.
Ragnir advances toward the main Brambleblight.
Another Animated Bramble rises up in front of the larger Brambleblight.
Kaos becomes sickened for this round from the smell of rot, but still manages to chop into the new vine rising out of the mound of humus.
Ingrahild resists the smell as she advances toward the plant monster.
Leira also resists the stench and sticks an arrow into the newly appearing vine.
Anga sends a Fireball at the Brambleblight and its Animated appendage. The Animated Bramble takes the full brunt; but the large Brambleblight actually ducks behind the mound of humus.
Haskyll barely resists the stench. He then moves and reaches up to tap Kaos on the shoulder, giving the tall human a Protective Touch.
Ulfgard is unfazed by the rotting smell of the creature, he readies Agrimmosh to pound the plant into submission and beyond.
Round Four
Ewigga continues to watch the action.
Taking a little step forward and stashing his shield, Ulfgard shouts "Dwarvenaxes, dwarvenhammer, for the kin." and falls in rage.
