[IC] The Redbrand Hideout
Willow immediately drops the claw to dangle from its leather cord across her chest. "Thanks," she mutters. The light illuminates the cavern brightly across her field of vision, revealing the hideous crouched form of the retreating creature, now near the far end of the chamber.
She moves a few feet forward to get a clear view of her quarry. Then she quickly draws her shortbow, readies an arrow, and mutters a single indistinct word under her breath before releasing the bowstring.
The arrow streaks through the gloom to sink deeply into the meat of the monster's turned hip. It lets out a terse, almost coughing screech at the impact. Then it suddenly begins clawing madly at the wound, as tough, thorny vines magically sprout from it, growing impossibly fast to thicken and spread across the monster's struggling body.
Soon the creature is fully entangled by the vines, thrashing madly to escape from their grasp as thorns sink and tear into its writhing flesh.
