The roof had collapsed and one of the sailor's mates was certainly dead, but this fortunate soul had fallen out of his chair with the shaking and had rolled under the table, which had saved his life.The ground suddenly shook once more. Unlike the first time, where it had been a sudden rumble, this was more akin to a single powerful lurch. The tavern threatened to collapse entirely, and Charlie led the sailor (and a few more tavern patrons) out onto the street.As Nic's group worked their way uphill toward the arch, commoners ran toward them in a panicked mob. Behind them, raising up over the buildings was a crystal vine - enormous, writhing, and growing larger as it flailed about. It twisted and swung over the rooftops, smashing its way through a bell-tower and throwing bricks for several blocks around.
