[QUOTE="Nephis, post: 9274912, member: 20459"] [I]Even before [B]MYLISTRA[/B] recognizes the vines attacking everyone, her skin begins to crawl with visceral memory. Bloodthorn vines! Searching for sustenance from the bodies of her companions! Last winter she and Juniper had to deal with an infestation of bloodthorn vines in their root cellar, and she recalls the difficulty they had in combatting it. What did they finally find to be effective? The witch racks her brain to remember the remedy. <Think. THINK!!! Right! Alcohol! There must be some here! Aha! The boxes!> As the others begin to perceive a threat to themselves, Mylistra has rushed over to the stored provisions and begins opening boxes, trying to quietly search for anything she can use to combat the threat. A smothered cry from Nemo distracts her for a moment, and she turns her head. This turns out to be a fortuitous circumstance, for behind the halfling she sees a shelf loaded with bottles, hopefully bottles filled with wines or spirits or even both. She grabs a bottle, uncorks it, takes a sniff, and, apparently satisfied, immediately begins spraying everyone with the liquid inside. Cries of "Hey!" and "What the hell?" are immediately hushed by the witch. Her admonition is followed by the words "bloodthorn vines," with no cessation to her dousing them with alcohol. This stops Toriq's muttering completely. "Hand me a bottle," the warden tells her. "I can pour it on myself and those next to me without having to see them. It's alcohol," she quietly goes on to explain to the others. "It kills the vines that would otherwise kill you. Good thinking!" Once the vines have stopped their attack and are hopefully dead, Mylistra murmurs quietly that she dares not light a candle for fear of everyone igniting. "Take my hand, and I'll lead you through into the next chamber." "The next chamber?" asks Nemo. "But there isn't another chamber, ... is there?" Clearly, Nemo has never been in here with light. A very intrepid halfling, indeed, to hide in a tiny pitch black space, Mylistra thinks to herself. "But there is."[/I] [HR][/HR] * Mylistra makes a Secondary Skill Nature check to identify the bloodthorn vines and how to kill (or at least repel) them: r20+5=25 vs. 9 Easy DC for a +2 bonus to * her Primary Skill Perception check to find bottles of alcohol on the shelf to douse everyone with and to find the second chamber: r13+5+2=20 vs. 13 Moderate DC. Success. [/QUOTE]
