[QUOTE="jbear, post: 6086266, member: 75065"] The air explodes with a shower of sharp poisonous burrs as the gnarled old trees communicate their fury at the disturbance caused by the adventurers' close proximity. Gray's body continues to be engulfed by the living bark, his mouth frozen open in a rictus of pain. Pain also lances through each of the brave adventurers' bodies as they are struck by the burrs and the poison enters their bloodstream causing it to slow and thicken, their skin immediately beginning to crinkle and harden like Gray's. The blood vines continue to flail away mindlessly at the victim that finds themselves the closest, or in the elven avenger's case, the one that caused them the most pain. This plays right into Zuri's hands, as she deftly dodges the attack and drives her sharp blade through the core artery of the plant abomination. It doubles in half as though felled by an axe, twitches, and then lies still. Then the air fills with a mocking voice: [COLOR=#800080]"Welcome Pointed Headth! Pleath thstay a while.
