Guard waits for Finn and Ardanto to pass him on the way to the meetingplace.
Now last on the way, he shouts: "Don't wait for me. I keep them occupied, then come after you."
Ardanto looks in disgust at the plant matter splattered across his armour and winces as he speaks "how kind an offer, but I am afraid old chap, we must decline."
He once again tries to turn the plant man into salad.

All the time his mind racing over the possibilities that one small wound might be enough to infect him with were-plant or what ever happens to the people to make them into these monsters.
"I think we have a better chance of escaping if we cut down these vine men first, Guard."
Assuming that Ardanto kills the vine creature closest to him, Finn moves towards the other one.
Daurros will attempt to cast burning hands against the plant man next to him, casting defensively.

"Guard, Ardanto, you can both be heroes later, but to do that we have to survive this now. Keep! Moving! If you don't we'll get cut off from each other and overwhelmed by numbers." Toxim suits action to word by attacking the Child in front of him and Daurros then moving away from it.

Fathom continues to move towards Karkalla, her hand and wrist flexing as she gets ready to hack into slimy, smelly, weedy undead.

Guard doesn't really take Toxim's words, and instead walks over to the one 'thing' closest to Ardanto, swinging his hammer at it, while Snem blasts at it at well:
Should Ardanto decide to join him, the warforged holds out his shield to cover him.
Ardanto wrinkles his nose in disgust as all his hard work is nullified by the arrival of more of the creatures. "You know what they say Guard, there are old heroes and bold heroes, but there are no OLD and BOLD heroes," he sweeps his sword in the direction of the ship. "Shall we?"
While waiting for an answer Ardanto steps in next to the warforged and tries to reduce another one to plant matter.

Fathom does little more than grunt under the creatures attack and 'reposts' herself.
With her spell of 'Grace' still running, Fathom moves to stand beside Karkalla and tries to help fend off the attackers...
As Daurros begis to fly Toxim looks at him with envy. He then turns and directs a bolt of magical force at the Child that Karkalla is fighting.

Toxim keeps moving toward the ship.
Finn holds his spear in his off hand and attacks the plant-thing with a claw and a bite.
confirm:
[ooc]Notes:I have been using single moves, if you want to double move let me know. Karakalla I am guessing you did not move closer as if you did you would take an AoO for shooting this round.
Actually plan was just to move past the plant creature Since I assumed she was already in a thretend square (due to the attack from the previous turn) and since there was no way to 5 ft step she is going to take an AoO anyway.
Daurros takes to the sky, and then lets a fireball fly from his outstretched hand. He targets the two plant creatures currently attacking Fathom and Karkalla, making sure they're right on the edge of the blast so as not to harm the two women.
fireball
Fathom tries to slash the thing once more, but finds herself missing yet again. Ardanto attacks the one in front of him with a fury, rendering it so much rubbish. Toxim tries unsuccessfully to hit one of the attackers with magic as he keeps moving toward the ship.
Daurros, however does not have that problem and drops a ball of fire behind two of the plant-men. Burning them heavily and singing the hair on both Fathom and karkalla. The shifter in turn stabs the heavily burnt creature with her crossbow blade.
Meantime, Finn rips his foe apart with claw and fang as Snem blasts one of the last two Plant men and Guard starts to move toward them.
The last two plant-men attack, one hitting Karkalla and the other clawing Fathom

Relying upon her spells to keep her from immediate harm , Fathom moves away from the creature to stand almost 'behind' Karkalla. and turns to face the creature that attacked her last.
Drawing upon her power, she lays a hand gently upon Karkalla's shoulder.
Still wanting to get to some cover, but refusing to be separated from the group, Toxim takes a few steps back toward the fighting and fires another magic bolt at the closest child.

"Captain! Keep close by! They are mostly dealt with!" he shouts, while Snem blasts at the next of the plant men:
Turning back to the problem at hand, he swings his hammer again, this time over his head to smash the vine into the ground it came from:
In her turn if the plant man is still alive Karkalla moves away from it and then shoots it

"Why are we still fighting?" Ardanto asks as his plant falls and he turns to face the two fighting the women of the group with Guards aid.
He starts to fall back, hustling past Finn and getting into a position to provide support if the others retreat.
"Lets fall back, before more arrive." he urges, taking a lead from Toxim. Turning to glance at Toxim and then up at Daurros he asks, "does the ship look clear?"
Finn moves in the direction of the rest of the group, his enemy dealt with for now.
Fathom moves behind Karkalla healing the shifter as Ardanto starts to make for the ship.Toxim moves back toward the fighting, hitting one of the plant-men with magic.Karkalla moves back and finishes off her attacker as Guard moves up and finishes off the last.
You make it to the ship without any other attackers. The ships is an old merchantmen that has seen better days. Her hull is half sunken under the weeds with only her aft still above the wet ground. Whats left of the aft cabins, sodden and covered in vines and sticking into the air at an angle, makes up your makeshift fort. The walls are soggy but solid enough with only one way in from the front with mostly intact glass peering up into the rain filled sky. The three rooms that make up the aft of the ship do give you room and a place to sleep, if damp.
You do not see those things after you barricade yourself in the ship,but you hear them out there, somewhere, waiting, watching and calling for you to join them.
The night passes, cold and wet but it passes without another attack. The damp fog filled morning finds the sky still overcast as if a great could hung over this land. But the rain has passed at lest.
During her watch and realising they may not have a chance to resupply for a while Karkalla recovers as many of her bolts as she can and attempts to repair any damaged ones
Craft
Coming to the remains of the ship, Guard goes to speak a bit with Daurros, not caring who might hear them talk:
"I know that you know as much of my powers as I do, probably less, but maybe even more than I.
But I see it as my duty to ask you anyway, you being the one with the most knowledge of magics in general.
Given 9 hours of time, I'd able to change my soulmelds. Would you care to help me find the right ones, the ones that might be helpful with our task at hand?"
He explains the things he knows of his soulmelds, and lists possible alternatives, hoping to find a good setup, going over different options.
"The Mantle of Flames seems to be a good enough thing against those things. Snem provides a bit of lighting and is attacking those things too, so he's pretty much a given (and I would rather not unshape him).
The avatar and weapon though... Maybe we could find better options to replace them?"
Daurros furrows his brow, trying to recall what he can of incarnum.
knowledge arcana
"I would definitely keep the mantle of flames. Do you have anything that could perhaps be used to dehydrate the things? Something that uses heat or warm air, or perhaps even negative energy?"
"No, the mantle is the only thing I know of that works with heat... Negative Energy? hmm... I used to have Armguards of Disruption shaped previously, but those only work on undead, so I doubt they would help us here." Guard replies, before mentioning some other Soulmelds he thought of.
The warforged is not all too sure what to use, though he knows the Soulmelds that are available to him, like remembering to have used them at one time or another, even though he certainly hasn't.
Memories... he thinks, But not mine... They come from Snem, but they aren't even Snem's.
They must be from other's like me, users of Incarnum, contained in the very fabric that lends me it's powers.
Daurros listens to Guard, and then tries to recall what he knows of plant-like creatures to try and give some suggestions to the warforged.
knowledge nature
Even before that though, he has a few other thoughts. "One thing to consider - whatever this thing is, it seems to be able to control it's 'children' from afar and through magic. Some form of mental protection may not be a bad idea."
