The thorn creature pulls Merri into the brambles, but Merri's many years of travel have adapted her to almost any natural surrounding. It was the plant's mistake that it could take advantage of her here. As the thorns drain Merri's life force, her aura becomes one of anger and desperation.
Instead of emiting energy, Merri starts to draw energy from around her. The leaves of the brambles next to Merri wilt and darken. Drawing from the natural world, Merri is strengthened. Using the thick brambles around her, she slams the bloodthorn's vine into a thick trunk and rolls toward it, freeing her from it's grasp.
Focusing her anger into a fine point she slams her rapier into the bloodthorn vine, which then reverberates like an emotional explosion. Her nearby allies are energized by the emotional drive. Caim feels the rigors of battle fade from her body.
"Ilex! This sacred grove is defiled! It angers you! Use that anger!" The fey witch's eyes open with renewed energy.
