Morin's ferny puns inspire borage in his companions. Cain quickly backs away from the open doorway and flings a pinch of multi-colored dust which quickly shifts into a dizzying array of lights at the vegepygmies, but their dumb, expressionless faces do not react to the display
(Immune to Mind-Affecting effects/patterns.) With Cain's spell spent, Cael quickly rushes in to strike at the lead plant--the edge in catching the creature flat-footed and with Morin's pun fresh in his mind helping his great blade land solidly and make a moldy salad of the pygmy
(-13 HP.) The small plant-creature behind the first stabs at the big man with its longspear, but the tip is deflected by Cael's sturdy armor. Then the larger Vegepygmy behind that one lifts its hammer high and begins to bang it hard against the Numerian steel wall beside it ... and all hell breaks loose.
Suddenly the large door beside Cain and Cael slides up into the ceiling, revealing a large, unlit room with tables, chairs, and multiple other doors--all covered by a thick layer of fungal matter. Beside the now open door is another vegepygmy who quickly steps away from the opening but deeper within is a large, flower-like plant nearly as tall as a man with a bulb near its base and multiple barbed vines growing from that bulb. Both Synn and Morin recognize the plant as a Weedwhip, but everyone else is soon to learn what kind of threat it poses. The plant's vile stench wafts into the hallway, quickly enveloping Cain, Cael, and Morin
(DC 12 Fort Save or sickened for 1 minute.) It reacts immediately to the new animal presence and lashes out with the whip-like vines at Cain and Cael. One of the vines lands hard against Cain, giving him a good gash
(-4 HP) and a dose of poison
(DC 12 Fort Save or Nauseated 1 round.)
Simultaneously the large door down the first hallway opens, revealing a small circular room beyond and a squad of four more vegepygmies who charge at the exposed Zorden with claws and spears. Fortunately the vegepygmies seem to stumble over themselves as they attack and the tiefling's leather armor saves him from all but a single claw
(-1 HP.)
The small door opened by Cain, southeast of Cael, closes once again.
Party's turn.
