STOP READING!I am running an overgrown castle in my game and the main opponents are the overgrown plants themselves. There is a single master plant (behemoth) that has grown its tendrils (deathflowers) into other parts of the castle.The plan is that the main boss is unable to be reached in its underground chamber unless its tendrils are first cut, each in one of three separate rooms.Fangvine Deathflower        Level 4 Elite ControllerMedium natural animate (plant)        XP 350Initiative 3     Senses Perception +4; blindsightHP 112; Bloodied 56AC 20; Fortitude 19, Reflex 15, Will 18Speed 1Action Points 1<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" />Vine Whip (standard; at-will)    +9 AC; 1d6 + 4 damage.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/c.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":close:" title="Close    :close:" data-shortname=":close:" />Vicious Vines (standard; encounter)    Close burst 5; targets enemies; +8 vs reflex; the target is grabbed and takes ongoing 10 damage (save ends both).Alignment Unaligned    Languages -Str 18 (+6)    Dex 13 (+3)    Wis 15 (+4)Con 16 (+5)    Int 3 (-2)        Cha 12 (+3)Fangvine Behemoth            Level 5 Elite BruteHuge natural animate (plant)        XP 400Initiative +4    Senses Perception +4; blindsight    Grasping Thorns aura 1; enemies treat the area within the aura as difficult terrain; at the start of the fangvine behemoth’s turn enemies within the aura take 3 damage.HP 152; Bloodied 76AC 19; Fortitude 20, Reflex 16, Will 19Speed 2 (forest walk)Action points 1<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" />Bite (standard; at-will)    Reach 4; +8 vs AC; 1d10 + 4 damage, and the opponent is pulled 2 squares.<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/m.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":melee:" title="Melee    :melee:" data-shortname=":melee:" />Tendril Wrap (standard; sustain standard; at-will)    +6 vs reflex; 1d6 +4 damage; and the target is grabbed (until escape). A target trying to escape the grab takes a -4 to the check. The fangvine behemoth can sustain the power as a standard action, dealing 2d8 + 4 damage and maintaining the grab.Threatening Reach    A fangvine behemoth can make opportunity attacks against all enemies within its reach (4 squares).Rooted    When an effect forces a fangvine behemoth to move-through a pull, push or a slide-the fangvine behemoth moves 1 square less than the effect specifies. When an attack would knock the fangvine behemoth prone, the fangvine behemoth can roll a saving throw to avoid falling prone.Alignment Unaligned    Languages -Skills Stealth +8Str 18 (+6)    Dex 13 (+3)    Wis 15 (+4)Con 16 (+5)    Int 3 (-2)        Cha 12 (+3)Fangvine Chomper            Level 1 BruteMedium natural animate (plant)        XP 100Initiative +1    Senses Perception +1; blindsightHP 35; Bloodied 17AC 13; Fortitude 15, Reflex 13, Will 12Speed 2 (forest walk)<img src="http://www.enworld.org/forum/images/smilies/bm.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":bmelee:" title="Basic Melee    :bmelee:" data-shortname=":bmelee:" />Bite (standard; at-will)    Reach 2; +4 vs AC; 1d6 + 3 damage.Rooted    When an effect forces a fangvine to move-through a pull, push or a slide-the fangvine moves 1 square less than the effect specifies.

The idea of the deathflower is to open with the encounter, grab everybody and pull them through briars in the room towards it, doing damage both by the ongoing and by the briars themselves. (Moving through them does 1d4 + 4 damage)I already ran one of the deathflower encounters yeasterday and it was unexeptional. First, I think a faster speed for the deathflower is in order, or a recharge on its encounter, or a ranged ability to pull. It opened with the encounter and nobody was grabbed except the party dwarf and he escaped the next save.What should I do?</blockquote>
