Four new shoots cut their way through the cracks in the flagstones that once decorated the dais, wraping their insidious appendages around Gensai, nearly squeezing the breath out of the ronin. New shoots also attack Sheng and Phoenix, rooting their feet to the ground, unable to escape. For TikChik, the attacks are too much. Things go black, and he falls. The wolves, howl in frustration, having been twarted in their attempt at a meal. One wolf, engulfed in Phoenix's flames, is frightened into motionless indecision, faced with the prospect of burning. The only thing it can do is lash out at the hell hound nearby. Another wolf finds Phoenix to be the target of its frustration. Teeth bared, it charges headlong at the unhorned tiefling, ripping flesh with its teeth. Phoenix falls to the ground nearly dead. The wolf's vengence, however, is interrupted by a plume of flame that erupts from the fallen mage, singing hte wolf, sending it howling. Phoenix continues to breathe shallowly, as the wolf shakes off the flames. The other adventurers know, that they have only moments to act before the wolf begins to dine on its 'kill'. The third wolf is nowhere to be found. It may have run off, or perhaps it is just biding its time watching from just out of sight, in the shadows of the forest.[GM]@renau1g : TikChik is restrained. He stays at E9, so your rolls don't matter anyway. Just to be nice, I'll roll your save instead of applying your first attack roll to it <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />. <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3581050/" target="_blank">1d20=5</a>.

Good news for Gensai though.  BTW: Remember, vine shoot victims are restrained, not grabbed. Restraint lasts even after the vine shoots die. To picture this, imagine the vines tangling their prey and tying themselves off, leaving the victim restrained, yet the vine free to move.

It can be climbed with an athletics DC 25 (no DC for creatures with Spider Climb or Burrow). Creatures without Spiderclimb/Burrow who are on the wall grant CA and suffer a penalty of -5 to magical attacks that require a weaopon or implement. MM, obviously, is still an automatic hit.[/sblock][sblock=Map]<img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/RiocParvelRound8-1.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock][sblock=Ambush Vine]<img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/AmbushVine.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock][sblock=Ambush Vine Shoot] <img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/AmbushVineShoot.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock][sblock=Cunning Packwolf]<img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/CunningPackwolf.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock][sblock=Stang's Stats]<img src="http://i571.photobucket.com/albums/ss151/HMGimlord/StangShortBlock.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />[/sblock]</blockquote>
