Twiggy raises his eyebrows and looks skeptically at the wall as he backs away.

"I'm not just a sabled-haired beauty, adored by the entire civilized world, you know," Myarra puts into the conversation, sarcastically.  "I can also fly.  Would you like me to take a look?  And, if you'd like, I can also carry us all over the wall.  Not the horses, of course, and only one at at time, but it would mean we could just leave the wall alone entirely."

Sister Aliana smiled at her winged friend and nodded.
"Some scouting woudl be lovely, thank you, my friend."

Kali looked at Myarra and smiled. "Let's try this" she said, and looked at Raieylan. "Keep an eye on byron Raie....make sure he doesn't do anything stupid." The panther looks at the himan and looks back, snorting.

Kali then closes her eyes and breathes slowly. Her mind going back to a day not long before she met the group, where she was watching a group of birds flying gracefully through the sky. Her mind settled on the one that originally caught her eye, a Kite, and let the image set in her mind. She focused her thoughts, her emotions on that one thought, seeing her form melting and filling the form of the Kite.

While her eyes were closed, her form shifted, shrinking and growing feathers, until where Kali was, a kite stood on the ground, dark brown with a bank of red on the wings and tail. The birds eyes were the same colour as Kali's as she opened her eyes.

The druid shifted her form as she looked at Myarra, chirping loudly, and looked to the sky. She then opened her wings and took off, circling the group, waiting for Myarra to take flight

Byron just shakes his head at Kali's comment about not doing anything stupid.  The he looks at both Kali and Myarra seriously.

Both of you be careful.

Aliana got her bow ready, to cover both women as best she could

Surprise Round----------

As soon as Kalliyan turns into a bird and takes flight, several vines lash out from the vine wall and attack the group. Vine 1 grabs Aliana around the neck and starts choking her. Vine 3 tries to grab Kalliyan, but missed as she turned into the kite bird and flew up in the sky, but Vine 2 latched onto Twiggy with no problems and lifted him up off his feet! The ground shifts with the movement of plants and all of you have seen an Entangle spell before....

Everyone BUT Kalliyan and Twiggy, Reflex Save DC 13 or be Entangled

Twiggy and Aliana, Grapple checks to break free

Having already drawn my sword I move to try and free Aliana as I see a vine grab her and start to choke her.  Damned plants.  So much for not doing anything stupid, right Raie

05:53, Today: Byron Rockhead rolled 15 using 1d20.  DC Check avoid entangle.  Roll should be +5 for a total of 20.
05:52, Today: Byron Rockhead rolled 16 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

Nolan got stuck in the vines. He tried to free himself but it was difficult for him with his robes, so he decided to cast a Magic Missile spell to free Twiggy from the vines that were choking him.

Magic Missile damage: 15

Amara had been taught first help yourself and then help others - well, if you're going to help them at all, that is. Often in the Underdark, it was survival of the fittest...

She stepped away and made a motion, activating her natural levitation, lifting 20 feet into the air, and looking around for what had caused the plants to grasp at them.

Sister Aliana tried to escape
OOC:. 19:32, Today: Sister Aliana Farwalker rolled 13 using 1d20+1.  Grapple resist.
19:30, Today: Sister Aliana Farwalker rolled 21 using 1d20+5.  Reflex

Glad that she'd stayed back away from the wall, Myarra leapt into the air as the first vine reached out for her and the ground begins to move of its own free will.  She'd had more than enough of hostile vegetation to last her a life-time.

Once she's a good 30' in the air, and likewise away from the accursed wall, she begins circling, taking stock of the situation.

"What in the..." was all that came out of Twiggy's mouth before he was jerkid into the air.  Try as he may the little halfling didn't look like he could pry the vine from around him using his strength.

57, Today: Twiggy Flinch rolled 9 using 1d20.  Grapple.

"There is something wrong with this place. It doesn't feel right." Roen said before the plants began to entangle him

18:14, Today: Roenthelm rolled 9 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.
18:14, Today: Roenthelm rolled 9 using 1d20+5.  Reflex save.

When the plants began to entangle Roen, he tried as best as he could to free himself.

The Kite that was Kali circled the area, calling out as she did.

Meanwhile, on the ground, Raieylan (Standing back luckily), had his fur on his back bristle like a cat as the vines moved, growling and moving backwards. His movements purposeful, he watched on as several members were entangled in the vines.

The Kite soared down from the sky, out of range of the vines, and pulled up at the last second, landing on the ground. The kite's form began to again melt and shift as the form grew to the druid that took off moments ago.

When she looked up, there was an odd look in her eyes....one of pain and anger.

Someone was controlling the elements of nature.



....and she did not like that

Round 1 results----------

Myarra is quick on her feet as she takes flight to stay away from the grabby vegetation. She flies 30 feet above the ground and looks around, seeing Lennox up above her. Vine 1 constricts Aliana and starts pulling her towards the wall. Vine 3 lashes out at the panther, but the feline is too quick for that. Avoiding being grappled, Byron spots Aliana being dragged towards the vine wall and moves to go help her out, but Vine 3 is in the way, so he slashes it with his sword, but it is strong. Amara avoids being entangled and Levitates into the air and looks around to see what the vines were connected to, but it appears they are their own entity. Vine 2 constricts Twiggy and pulls him closer to the vine wall, as Lorrik avoids being tangled and leads the horses away from the area, as Lennox disappears in a puff of smoke from above and appears near Byron to hack at the vine with his Greatsword. Roenthelm gets entangled in the vegetation and spend time trying to get out as Nolan too is entangled but decides to cast a Magic Missile spell to help out Twiggy. The vine is damaged, but keeps on moving. Kalliyan flew around and landed, turning back to human form and wasn't too happy that nature was being messed with while her panther stayed away from the grappling vines. There wasn't much Twiggy and Aliana could do at the moment by try and free themselves from the constricting vines, but so far, they were losing.

Everyone on the ground NOT entangled/grappled, Reflex safe again DC 13.

Aliana struggled,  but was at a bad place

ooc:
18:01, Today: Sister Aliana Farwalker rolled 4 using 1d20+1.  Grapple resist

Byron moves easily to avoid being entangled and gets a good swing in against Vine 3.

This stuff is really annoying me now.  Hang on Aliana I'm going to help you get free.

19:08, Today: Byron Rockhead rolled 23 using 1d20+5.  Reflex Save for Entangle DC13.
19:09, Today: Byron Rockhead rolled 17 using 1d20+4.  To Hit Vine 3.
19:10, Today: Byron Rockhead rolled 5 using 1d10+4.  Damage to Vine 3.

Twiggy knows he can not use brute strength to escape so he starts twisting and turning trying to wiggle free.

:31, Today: Twiggy Flinch rolled 14 using 1d20+4.  Escape artist.

Seeing no one controlling the vines at this time, Amara lashed out at the vines themselves. She pulled out another of Nolan's fireball spells and sent a blast of flame into the vines in an area where she would not hit any of her friends.

Seeing that Byron had this vine taken care of, Lennox disappeared in a puff of smoke again and appeared in between Twiggy and Aliana and swung his greatsword on the one holding Twiggy off of his feet. Unfortunately, the vines were pretty tough...

Nolan repeated his spell, but on the one Byron was fighting. He wanted to make sure Byron could move to assist Lennox.

Magic missile: 15 damage

Kali knew that the vines were being manipulated, but were still a part of nature...no matter how perverted. Drawing her scimitar, she walked forward, almost like stalking prey, her eyes unflinching at the target ahead. His target, the vines holding the Halfling Twiggy.

Aproaching the vine, she swung the blade, still new in her hand, and missed the vine

<OOC: Kalliyan rolled 10 using 1d20+7 (Hit)

Typical!>

Myarra wheels around and dives towards Aliana and the vine that's holding her.  As she reaches the bottom of her swoop, she slashes at the vine holding her friend and then soars back up, hopefully to safety.

Round 2 results----------

Myarra gets the heebie-jeebies flying near the vine wall, but that doesn't affect her ability to fight as she slashes at the vine choking Aliana. Now that she's really close to the wall, she gets dizzy, but quickly shakes it off. Vine 1 and 3 continue their attack, with Aliana continuing to get choked out, while Vine 3 lashed out and bounced off Byron's armor. Byron slashed back with his greatsword on vine 3, hacking it in half, sending greenish "blood" spraying all over and a screeching sound could be heard "North" through the vine wall. Amara pulled out the scroll Nolan gave her and cast a spell from it as the area near Twiggy, Aliana and Myarra erupts into a Fireball. The hostile vines burn up in the flames and the vine wall catches on fire as more screeching could be heard "North" through the vine wall. All the entangling/constricting ceases and Twiggy drops to the ground. Lennox looks around, especially when he hears the screeching from within the vine wall. Roenthelm frees himself from the vines and stands guard, looking around as Nolan cancels the spell he was about to cast. Kalliyan doesn't like the sounds coming from the vine wall when she missed the dead plant with her sword as the Panther hisses something furious and backs away even further. Twiggy and Aliana recover from being constricted.
