Natsume and Sitril, despite their scarves across their mouthes, start smelling something very sweet and slightly rotten-- darn, you've inhaled some gas!
What is Stupefied?
Tamerius sees the creature behind him, he moves next to Natsume and Sitril. Seeing Natsume in front of one of the creature he decides give her a decisive advantage in the fight to come.
May Hell guides your weapon.
Tamerius starts to inhale gas, but manages to protect himself with his scarf.
And Tamerius feels Asmodeus is with him, maybe thanks to the great speech he made.
Tamerius looks around, trying to spot what is going on.
He spots a third colored plant.
And he sees small particles, like pollen, floating in the air around those three plants.
"The gas... it is emitted by those three bushes. It is floating around them..."
The three X plants are rooted, and seem to not be moving.
They have emitted clouds of gas, that are floating around.
Giggett also inhales some of the gas, and feels a bit light headed and slightly slower.
Giggett, reacting quite quickly, shoots hastily an arrow on the dangerous bush.
But she doesn't take the proper time to aim and ends up being not accurate at all.
She takes a little bit more time to aim the second one...
piercing damage + precision piercing damage.
And this time, her arrow should damage the opponent .
She then leaves the cloud of pollen and moves next to the bush , to give a flanking position to her buddies.
Giggett fires two arrows, the second one is better aimed and hits the bush, piercing its trunk: parts drop the ground, and sap starts leaking out...
Giggett then moves carefully, out of the bush's reach.
The three colorful plants do not move.
But other small bushes, with one long tendril raising up above their leaves, start moving.
You see there are four of them in all.
The blue one comes down from the north, and at a distance, lashes out at Tamerius.
Giggett sees these plants have reach with their tendrils...
Blue lashes out, but Tamerius manages to duck and the tendril misses.
But then the tendril comes swinging back and-- connects!
The tendril has some sort of acidic sap and big thorns, hurting Tamerius... and these things attach to the cleric, grabbing him.
The yellow bush comes waddling up from the south, and lashes out at Natsume.
It totally surprises the woman, and its tendril latches onto her neck!
But Natsume reacts by raising her shield and blocking some of the blow... but the plant is too far to be pushed.
The tendril remains attached, grabbing Natsume.
The green bush comes up and lashes out at Natsume.
The tendril attack manages to latch on to her and hurt her... grabbing her.
Then the bush retracts its tendril and lashes out at the warrior again, managing bypass her shield thanks to Natsume being flatfooted. She is hurt and grabbed again.
The red bush lashes out with its tendril, and manages to snag Sitril's leg! Hurting and grabbing the dwarf.
Then the bush forms another tendril, speedily growing it thanks to its sap and bark and leaves... and it lashes out at Tamerius, connecting with him, hurting and grabbing him also.
The red bush finally grows a third tendril, but it breaks loose and drops to the ground when it tries to attack Giggett!
Some of you are grabbed, others are double grabbed. But these small bushes are not very strong, and only have a light hold on you.
Giggett easily manages to get rid of the affliction .
Giggett coughs and clears her head... the poisonous gas no longer clouds her mind.
Lots of moving parts!
FYI: Multiple Exposures (it is a poison)
Sitril looks at the moving bushes and first, he is surprised and then worried. He looks with puzzlement when they begin the attack. His anger raises when he sees Tamerius being targeted by two of the enemies. His fury burns with cold fire within him as he wants to step towards the Cleric and set him loose. Feeling how his leg is attached to an enemy he moves towards that bush.
But the attacks did not connect, as his axe is entangled in some of the branches.
Sitril's raging anger makes him burn the gas up before it hits the lungs, and he is both clear headed now, and unaffected by the gas he breathes in.
But, though he stumbles up to the red bush, he does miss it.

Natsume growl-groans as the tendrils wrap around her. She's suddenly very glad she's not dressed for anime school.
Gurgling, she forces herself closer, grabs her sword, and...
The poisonous gas Natsume inhaled keeps on coursing through her veins, rendering her mind more foggy--
--but she manages to not let any other inhaled gas affect her.
Natsume's weapon slices deep into the yellow bush.
Giggett uses Sitril's presence as a diversion and attacks the plant in her weakspot (yes, Giggett knows plants a lot, and thus their weakspots!).
Unfortunately, this was no weakspot at all, more of a strong spot!
Switching tactics, she decides to call on the powers of nature and conjures an arc of lightning between the bush in front of her and the one Natsume's attacking, using Natsume's blade as some sort of focus (or lightning rod).
lightning damage on red and yellow, basic Reflex save DC 18.
[dice=Athletics]1d20+0
Natsume stows the sword before they move forward. She's trying to keep a hand free, after all!
Thanks to Sitril'sdiversion the plant is flat-rooted and, by Asmodeus, in whom Giggett should have more faith, there IS a weak spot! And Giggett pierces the plant again.
Then Giggett conjures an arc of lightning that totally fries the bush in front of her!
The bushes burns up in a flash... and drops to the ground in cinders.
Sitril is no longer grabbed.
And Tamerius is no longer double-grabbed.
The other end of the arc is lightning too, but it all goes to Natsume's blade and does not hit the other bush. Too good a rod, there!
Tamerius, when released all of a sudden, is surprised, and inhales too much.
He first feels his mind reel, and then he inhales more... and his reels even more!
Tamerius then brings his hand down hard on the vine--
--and snaps it freeing, himself.

Natsume stows the sword before they move forward. She's trying to keep a hand free, after all!
Tamerius moves out of the reach and the clouds of the creatures!
Tamerius moves away--
The blue bush moves down a bit and lashes out at Sitril, and connect, slashing and grabbing the dwarf.
The blue bush then lashes out at Natsume once... and twice, missing both times.
The yellow bush then tries once... twice... thrice... to lash out at and hit Natsume, missing every time.
It is unable to re-grab Natsume...
The green bush lashes out at Natsume and hits her... hurting her since her shield is not raised, and grabbing her again.
Sitril turns immediately and throws his javelin
As the javelin flies way above the target he moves forward the enemy and makes a one-handed attack with his axe
Tamerius heals himself
Tamerius remains clear headed enough to heal himself.
Sitril keeps on burning away the gas that he breathes, remaining unaffected.
His javelin flies too high, above the mark-- but he steps and his axe slashes the bush.
Natsume growls, taking a quick step between the two and lashing out with her blade!
Possibly no longer grabbed, she turns her attention to Yellow again regardless:
"I feel a little better!" she wheezes.
Natsume starts to feel better, and does not inhale any news gas.
This feeling better works for her: she steps between the two and lashing out at green-- killing it in one blow!
She is no longer grabbed, so she turns her attention to yellow and-- finishes it off with her next slice.
"Electric swords are awesome! Giggett, do that again next time!"
She seems to have forgotten about the netherworldly fire enveloping her blade.
Tamerius' head starts spinning, and he brings his hands to his head-- "It hurts!"
--then Tamerius' eyes go blurry and he looks around him with a strange blank stare.
Wow... he is confused!
You are flat-footed and you use all your actions to cast offensive cantrips (but you are confused 2)-- or, if you have none, draw a ranged weapon (or if none a melee weapon and move) and Strike-- GIGGETT!
Not exactly himself or exactly himself, how knows?
Tamerius moves next to Giggett and casts chill touch on her!
Giggett-- wonders if Asmodeus is after her.

for 3 damage.
Giggett is surprised by Tamerius but resist the attack.
"Stop your sick games, I'm no halfling!"
Seeing Tamerius' eyes, she starts speaking to him trying to be as nice and friendly as possible:
"Tamerius, you're mind is clouded by the fumes. I am your best friend, Giggett."
As a player, I suspect he's confused. Is it an information Giggett can have?
"Guys, I'll let you handle the last plant, I'll try to slow Tamerius down until he retrieves his senses."
Giggett first tries to push Tamerius to the ground.
And despite her low strength, she manages to push him strong enough for him to fall. She then moves a bit away from him and shoots an arrow on the plant while doing it.
But she misses the plant from less than an inch.
The blue plant lashes out at Sitril, missing once-- twice... but scoring a Hail Berry hit with its third attempt! Slashing the barbarian, and grabbing him.
Sitril yells with anger, grabs his axe with both hands and he attacks the plant with two powerful blows...
This time Sitril attacks are more accurate.
Sitril manages to not be harmed by the gas, and, though he just misses with his first strike, his second slashes the bushes in two.
Assuming Natsume doesn't catch whatever Tamerius has, she charges over to him!
She tries to bowl him over with her shield...
Having little luck with that probably, she tosses her fancy magic sword aside and grabs Tamerius with her free hand!
"Knock it off, Tammy!"
The poison in Natsume's system gets worse--
--and she breathes in some more which also makes it worse--
--Natsume's head hurts and she is dizzy and very confused!
But she does not breath in more gas, at least.
Having caught whatever Tamerius had, she charges over to him and swings at him once... not hitting him, even though he is already prone, having been tripped by Giggett.
Then she strikes him again-- slicing into his leg.
The two humans look at one another with crazed blurry eyes!
Natsume's slice actually takes the cloudy and confusion out of Tamerius' eyes--
Giggett looks at Natsume beating the crap out of Tamerius.
"Tamerius will think twice before improving Natsume's weapon in the future..."
Speaking to Sitril:
"Get out of the cloud, Sitril, it's nasty. I think Natsume's confused. Maybe you could spank her for her to retrieve her senses
? I'll try to save our cleric. And I hope he'll apologize for hurting my feelings!"
Giggett waits...

"Nasty? If you would ever smell miners food you would not use the word nasty so lightly."
As he says that Sitril charges at Natsume
Sitril falls flat on the ground and he slowly lifts himself up
