Leeta keeps striking relentlessly despite Rose ignoring her stunning strikes. No matter, she will end up falling as the withered flower she will soon be.
Action: Punch #1 is a miss (11) / Punch #2 to Hit: 19. Damage: 11.
"Come on, we can do this!", Leeta encourages her friends while serving Rose yet another round of mini-punches. "You're so going down, you ugly flower lady!"
Looking around the group, Rowarin believes only Mizu has taken more of the attack. However, sensing Rose is weakening and with Leeta's words of encouragement, he will opt to continue striking with another Scorching Ray at level 4.
4 Rays to hit: 19, 24, 22 and 17 to hit. Damage dealt: 8, 7, 5 + 4 fire damage.
(Forgot to mention this but Rixi did roll with advantage last time; The rolls he got were god awful... And this turn he annoyingly got the same result (8, 12))
Still struggling to break his legs free, Rixi decides, after Leeta yells out that his lesser target, it's probably now or never to drive his polearm into her chest and finish her off for good. But... he knows that... even if he's able to pierce one of his blades into the confined depths of Kurobara herself, he needs to hold back, or risk losing his mentality from his broken oath... Plus... he's still wondering who on earth he saved beforehand.

A wizard is never late, nor is he early, he arrives precisely when he means to.
Mizu, now thoroughly irritated with the vines entrapping Rixian, sets his jaw and gives the paladin a momentary blank stare. Seems how Rixian is still managing to do damage without being unstuck, Mizu might as well abandon his fruitless attempts to help and focus instead of pulling the roots of said vines.
He turns and attack's Rose, using Soma's helpaction as the hawk attacks the devil's face.
Will every member of the party giving each attack their all, it's hard to tell exactly who landed the fatal strike. In a flurry of blows, barrage of slashes, and bombardment of spells, the witch screams her final time. Mina's vines now grasp the lifeless husk, a husk that is slowly withering away. Though as it does you notice that more than just Mina's vines are sprouting from tomb's floor. It seems Rose's dark magic has gone wild. Or perhaps it's reclaiming dominion over itself... Either way, you all can tell...if you don't get out of here quickly you might be engulfed.
While some vines continue to grow, others seem to be withering away like the dead husk of the witch. The vines holding those large masses at the back of the cave shrivel and die, allowing the content's to fall to the ground. Bodies of those who had been lost.
Many of them are clearly long dead. However, there are a few who appear that they could be saved....
Many of the vines continue to grow towards the ceiling, breaking open the soil above. Daylinght shines down, momentarily blinding you. However you are able to recover quickly...but now what will you do?
Finally ripping his legs out of the most obnoxious vines in existence, Rixi knew he wasn't safe. He turns back and immediately begins to dash out, but then something causes him to stop midway in place. Something is telling him not to run just yet...
He wants to escape too; Collapsing before he could finish his long term goal, before he can reconcile with Daisy, would be disastrous. But he can sense that there are people needing to be saved. Of course though, after being mentally exhausted from such fights like these, he doesn't know if he can make a choice right now, even if the others leave him behind.
Suddenly, he hears the voice belonging to a Kumiho, urging him with a seductive voice to save the innocent. And then, a much deeper, but more reassuring voice, this time telling him to trust his instincts like the leader he's always been. Of course. It's what they would've wanted to see from him. He is... of course he must act like who they think he is.
Wakatta! (わかった) Yuri! Ethan! Aid me from either side! I'm going in! After stalling for a moment, regardless if everyone decides to bolt for safety or not, Rixi turns around and bolts over to the mass pile and attempts to dig out whoever's alive without thinking twice, all the while imagining two of his teammates cooperating with him to bolster his determination again. Gomen nasai (ごめん なさい)... My code of chivalry does not involve leaving a soul behind!Whoever he finds alive in the masse, Rixi immediately scoops them up onto his shoulders, being careful not to scrape either of his sharp blades against them, before he closes his eyes and makes a run for it, the last of his fuel burning inside of him as he does so.
(How did I not add in my perception what: 10)
"Madade wanai (まだではない, Not just yet). The living are not done with you." He says to whoever he's able to recover.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mizu glances around quickly, not giving a second glance to Rose's withering husk as he begins searching for survivors. He is quick to dodge vines, sending Soma ahead of him to look for anyone still breathing.
He and Soma both hope to find Twig and her friend among the survivors, though he doesn't voice this intention.
Perception (Mizu): 6
Perception (Soma): 18
He might not be the most outwardly empathetic individual, but it was instilled in him at an incredibly young age to never leave an innocent person to die. He will risk his life to get these people out, even at the cost of his personal goals for the future.
Soma is busy clawing at Rose's now dead face, even going so far as to try and gouge her eyes out with her sharp beak. How dare this lady attack her master and his friends?
As a result, she is too distracted to even listen to Mizu's request to search for the wounded, instead remaining latched onto the corps of their former adversary.
"Ha! I told you that you would fall! And I did it in rhyme!"Leeta exclaims as Rose's empty husk finally collapses to the floor. But there's little time to savor the victory. Rose's magic is spiraling out of control, and the room threatens to become their tomb if they don't act quickly. Like Rixian and Mizu, the mini monk immediately begins searching for survivors. Upon finding the first one, she will grab them by the hand and dash like the wind, determined to gate them to safety.
(OOC: She has one last ki point, which she'll use to perform Step of the Wind, allowing her to Dash as a bonus action, adding to her 35 feet of movement.)
Rowarin, a little fatigued from using magic, starts to take a moment but soon realises there isn't time. Seeing the thorny vines go out of control, he begins to make for the exit. Passing the others he soon realizes he appears to be the only one - and in turning he sees the others dashing towards the back.
He follows a little hesitantly, but as soon as he approaches closer he notices why - and quickly sprints to Rixian's side to offer any assistance he can.
Once the others start leaving, Rowarin will begin to leave but check if there is anything missed.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Mizu, intent of finding Twig, locates her easily amidst the mass of vines. Pulling the remaining cocoon of plant matter away from her small body, he also notes a young elven boy not far away from her, you would guess that it's Telron. Both are unconscious, though Twig looks to be in better condition than her friend.
Rixian, after a moment's hesitation turns to aid Mizu in finding survivors. Since Mizu found two already, Rixi looks farther towards the back of the cave, past where Cassian had been sucked into the ground. However, you immediately know that those that far in the depths cannot be saved. Their bodies mummified from the blood Rose had stolen from them.
Leeta dashes forward past Rixian, grabs Akyan as he is the closest and easiest to grab, and starts dragging him towards the exit, and past Rowarin who has also decided to aid the victims.
Still looking for survivors, together Mizu, Rixian, and Rowarin locate two others who appear to be alive. A well built, half-elf man and a small half-elf woman who looks to be about Rowarin's age. Rowarin feels like he should know her, but his frazzled mind can't place her face at the moment. Both of them have gaunt, pale faces, and look severely malnourished, if you hadn't gotten here as soon as you did, they would be dead...they still might end up that way if you don't get them out. You also note the body of a small fairy woman, though like the people farther down, you were to late to save her.
As Leeta dashes towards the exit, suddenly a large portion of the roof caves in, falling in front of the exit. Leeta has to jump backwards to avoid getting herself and Akyan crushed. A few moments after this, the roof begins to crack over those still retrieving the unconscious victims.
(All of you Succeed a DC 13 Dex save or take 1 bludgeoning damage)
Wiping the dust out of her eyes, Leeta sees that the tunnel you'd come through is completely blocked off. However, the ever growing vines have created a new exit. The rubble from the roof has formed a somewhat treacherous looking path back to the surface. Rubble continues to fall from the crumbling roof as the party attempts to make a swift escape.
(Leeta, make a strength save to see if you can carry Akyan up there. Then make an Acrobatics or Athletics check to see if you can traverse it successfully.)
(The rest of you also need to make Acrobatics or Athletics checks to make it towards the new exit.)

(Ok so it is now round 4 so ya'll can make another round of attacks. Rose used her turn to break free.)
Both Leeta's attacks land, making the witch snarl once more.
She looks severely injured at this point despite her regeneration.
(From Mizu's help, Rixian still has advantage for escaping the vines.)
