Jynxx looses an arrow from his bow, intent on lowering the winged creature to the ground. "Come now, is this really something that we need to go through? Violence only hurts those who stand before us."

20 to hit, 9 dmg... The first time the target misses with an attack before the end of your next turn, it falls prone.

Kaeysari steps forward, weapon at the ready. "Look out for those flying things," she says. "They hit hard when they charge you."
[sblock=BenBrown]You indicated a move to V18, but you already were at V18, so... I guess you stay put? Looks like that works out slightly better for you as it happens, anyhow.[/sblock]
Azryah is startled a bit by the appearance of the strange creatures. Recognizing that the setting will be less hindering for these plant creatures than it is for her, she stays put for the moment and instead asks Merkari for guidance. Unfortunately, he seems to be turning a deaf ear at this time.
Jynxx looses an arrow from his bow, intent on lowering the winged creature to the ground. "Come now, is this really something that we need to go through? Violence only hurts those who stand before us."
Jynxx's arrow strikes true, nicking the winged creature. But it looks as if some force partially deflected the shot, reducing its effect. Colors flicker briefly around it spreads its wings. (note: new Arcana check in the terrain section)
Both winged creatures launch themselves into the air and pump their wings as they fly towards the group. Their progress is rather slow, and they just make it to behind the large hedge in front of the entranceway.
The vine creature to the left rustles out of the hedge, straight into the blade of Kaeysari's glaive, which shaves a cloud of leaves off the thing. But it keeps going, and a vine whips out at the shifter. A clutch of wicked barbed thorns at the end of the vine penetrates her armor and bites into her flesh, taking a hold. The creature rolls back a step into the hedge and drags Kaeysari along with it.
[sblock=Grabbed]Kaeysari is grabbed... I'm going to go ahead and reveal the vine things' Fort (15) and Ref (12) defenses now, since you'll need to know if your escape attempts succeed. As a reminder, to escape you take a move action for an acrobatics vs Ref or athletics vs Fort check. On success you're not grabbed and can shift as part of the action.[/sblock]
The other vine creature moves easily through the hedge, bursting out to loom over Papolstaanas. Another thorny vine shoots out. The kobold almost manages to evade, but not quite, and the thorns bite deep. The creature retreats back into the hedge, dragging its prey along with it.
The weird root-and-pod thing rolls out into the open, then breaks into a charge, seeds and dirty flying as it cuts back into the hedge close to the entrance. A ten-foot-long, three-foot-thick root lashes out at the deva, but the quick motion seems to have gotten the creature a little discombulated, and it misses badly.

[sblock=Terrain Notes]Needle Hedge (Green blocks): 10 feet high. Difficult terrain. Grants cover to a creature within or behind it. If a creature moves through more than one square of needle hedge during a single move action or incident of forced movement, that creature takes 5 damage.
Impassable Brambles (Brown blocks): Blocking terrain - treat as walls.
Totems: Provide cover to creatures in the 4 squares around them (the totems occupy the center point of 4 squares). [sblock=Arcana DC 15]The totems are embued with protective spells. A creatures that starts its turn adjacent to a totem gains 5 temporary hit points.[/sblock]
Topiaries: Difficult terrain.

"Aiee!" Papolstaanas squeals as he is dragged along the ground, arms flailing. He soon recovers his balance and slithers smoothly out of the plant creature's grasp, stepping quickly back toward the root-pod creature and stabbing at it with his little sword.

Chaku sees Papolstaanas pull free the two beasts from their woods, and decides to take advantage of the opportunity it presents. He steps up and skirts along the edge of the hedge wall to give himself some room to run. Turning around, unleashes a bellowing roar and charges in toward the rootpod, bringing his maul down hard on it's trunk, flecks of wood splintering off.
