Under the Tower: Round 3
Janis begins a chant of protection, but the entangling roots coil about her at an inopportune time, disrupting the casting.
[Concentration 9 fails; spell lost]
The
two crocodiles continue to flail at the demonic plant, and one manages to slam into the base of the trunk with its tail. The skin of the plant looks bruised there now.
[AC 15 misses; AC 19 hits; 8 hp]
Root tendrils whipping around him,
Jarrith pulls away from the tree menace. The constant barrage almost disorients him, but he manages to call forth the Flames healing might.
[Concentration 17 succeeds; cure moderate, 12 hp]
The brute Perriwimple, called into action, fights against the vines towards the other tree. Its unnatural vines club him once in the head, almost sending him reeling.
[AoO AC 19 hits; 18 hp] But Perriwimple pushes on, and his heavy fists barely pulp up the nearest trunk section.
[AC 20 hits; 8 hp]
Apparently enraged in pain, the wounded demon tree flails at Ashlyn and the crocodile that hit it. While it cannot pass the paladin's determined defense, the crocodile is helpless as it easily snaps its spine. The reptile spams once, and is gone.
[AC 21 misses Ashlyn; Croc hit for 17 hp; killed]
With new prey at its base, the other fiendish flora focus on the simple Perriwimple. While one vine tendril is caught on the rock, the other slams into his chest, temporarily knocking his wind out!
[AC 12 misses; AC 28 hits; 19 hp; Perriwimple near death]
The remaining crocodile screams as the thorns continue to punch through its body. The growths are growing little, horrid mouths!
[7 hp; Croc near death]
The fury of the Sovereigns inside her,
Ashlyn's shining blade slices through the heart of the horror, and with a wailing, human-like cry, it shudders and slumps to the side. Its roots twitch weakly and drop from around the party, freeing them from their grasp! With determination on her face, she stride towards the final foe.
[AC 20 hits, 24 hp, creature killed; Entanglement ends]
Free of the vines, and with Perriwimple to far away to help,
Tessa steps carefully down the rock face and fills Jarrith with the warmth of the Sovereigns. The Stalker's wounds mostly close, leaving a few lacerations.
[cure moderate, 10 hp]
