The Lamentation of Lolth - Chapter II

As Chasity mentions the presence of evil around them, Ayden pulls Finder's medallion out from underneath his chain shirt. While the others begin walking around the house, Ayden approaches the front door and knocks on it hoping that the owner of house will let them in, if there is actually anyone there.

A little heartbroken that Andreas wouldn't humor him, Calenthang raises a respectful eyebrow at Ayden's forward tact, and moves closer, a little apprehensively.
 

As Drogo circles the hut he sees that the vines cover the perimeter of the house evenly, nearby every possible entrance to the house. As Ayden approaches the door to knock the raspberry bushes seem to come alive, springing into action twisting out in all directions trying to grab hold of the cleric. Fortunately he notices just in time as one particular vine tries to slither around his ankle, as he jumps back to avoid it.

Initiative:

Mosslime - 21
Drogo - 14
Vines - 14
Chastity - 13
Sielwoodan - 12
Ayden - 11
Calenthang - 10
Andreas - 8
 

Mosslime: Finhead Saurial/Male

Mosslime waves his hand to the others trying to get them to do what he is doing and then he moves forward but also delays as he waits for the vine to come to him before he attacks it.

OOC: Still using my claws, two attacks, and if I need to delay my action to wait for the vine to move out to the end of its “rope” so be it.
 

Fumbling backwards, Ayden almost falls again after dodging the probing vine's grasp. Calling back towards Drogo and Sielwoodan, Ayden hopes his companions have studied their nature craft well.

"What foul vine is this before us? Could it be a guardian of somekind?"

Trying to back away carefully, Ayden keeps his staff ready to swing should another tendril snake his way.

OOC: 5' foot step and then ready attack should it come near him.

OOC 2: Sorry guys..guess I should have waited for you to give me the all clear...:(

When the vines shoot out, Chastity immediately raises her blade defensively and takes a step backward. She looks around apprehensively. Could this be the source of the evil? She studies the vines carefully, trying to detect if they are the cause of the aura.
 

Drogo

"Fire would be nice, but might take the house with it." Drogo decides his sling would be a better weapon than his spear. He stores the spear on Rex's back, and hurries around to the front, staying clear of the vines. Once around front, he'll join the fight, slinging bullets at the base of the vines.
 

Calenthang draws his sword, and considers all the best possible means of fighting a plant, before moving to attack. He follows Drogo's lead, he having more knowledge of plants and things, and attacks the base of the vines.
 

"Well, I think we can say quite safely the house isn't entirely abandoned friend Calenthang." Andreas replies to his earlier quip.

"Although, I have to say, I'm quite taken with your idea of predeterministic, yet action dependant, destiny. An intriguing, if potentially rather worrisome, concept." He continues as he follows the elven warrior, stopping outside the plant's reach. It's obvious that the young sorcerer doesn't really regard the vines as much of a threat...
 

As he advances on the menacing vines, he casts a sidewards glance at Andreas with a smile to match.
"I'm glad you agree, friend Andreas, I'm quite taken with it as well. I just wouldn't use so many big words to descride my disposition. Fate, in all things, is how you preceive it. A rather paradoxical philosophy," he adds with a laugh, and a sudden lunge at the plant.
