Anachain move about 10-ish feet, mostly just positioning herself at the center of the base of the bridge, not advancing on the blight at all.  It is plenty close for her magics to reach.  It was the Chill Touch which worked for her previously so she saw no reason to be changing on...  Hugging herself and running her hands up and down the arms of the other side, as if for warmth, Anachain once more utters the arcane words to try and re-create the cold, skeletal hand upon the blight.

Chill Touch vs Blight:  9 to hit for...Well, the thing was doing it's best Mr. Magoo impression and likely not touching the vegetation at all.  Not all that surprising since hands don't have eyes so are notoriously bad at finding their target.

Deniz fends off the vine-creature's tendrils, while calling out another magic word in the Elvish tongue. The regenerative power of nature flows into Daryl's body...

Action: Dodge

Bonus action: Healing Word on Daryl for 6hp.

Togar flies over the last vine blight, 60 feet up in the air as he conjures another 10 lb metal ball, lines up the thing, and drops it.  He has a satisfied look on his face as he’s floating in the air.  

Metal 10 lb ball : 21 to hit, for 10 points of bludgeoning damage.  

Kulloda charges into the vines, bellowing as he goes.

”Stupid plant should just die.”

But as he rushes in he finds his progress slowed. When he gets within 10’ of the vine monster he drops his sword and sweeps his glaive off his back, slashing hard for the center of the creature.

Glaive - 17 to hit, for 12 (including 2 from rage) slashing plus an additional 7 necrotic from Divine Fury.

Grimrin walks up ten feet, to get a bit closer,  and takes careful aim with his bow, watching its movements carefully for an opening (Insightful fighting. Grimrin's Insight(17) vs Enemy's deception). He let's fly his arrow at what he believes to be a weak spot, hoping to put it down quickly.

Attack: 21, damage: 12 piercing

Darryl sighs with relief at Deniz' spell, almost melting into the stone where he crouches as he relaxes, no longer bloodied or on the cusp of death.

The vine blight chuckles? possibly, the vines creaking in a rhythmic pattern as the chill touch misses it's target, bu not a moment late a metal ball crashes through it, and Kullodas glaive rends the rest in half, then just when the blight could not bare any more damage an arrow whistles through the remainder of it's head... the vines lose all life, rolling over the bridge before shrivelling and curling, dead. Just as the area of difficult terrain dies off to leaving broken stone in it's wake.

"thank you guys" Ashton says looking more than embarassed "I'd say thanks for the help. but I couldn't do anything. you didn't help you just did it all, I'm amazed!"  he hurries over to help Darryl up. Darryl himself still has some superficial strangulation marks reddening his neck, he accepts the help but tries to quiet ashton, starting to take on a more authorative tone. He walks over to the damage on the bridge and pokes around it a bit, "this'll need fixing before carts can traverse here again, but since we both figured out and killed the danger here, I think we are deserving of a reward and rest, We'll file the report with the mayor, and I'll personally leave something behind the counter at cassie's as a way of thanks, the town would be down two guards if it wasn't for your efforts."

Deniz gives no word in reply, but simply turns away and returns to the river bank, as though it was nothing.

So, the vine blights were the creatures we sought for? thinks the druid. He tries to recall the clues they were given, and whether there are any left unsolved. Did the tracks by the river only disappear by the bridge, or did this occur away from the bridge also..? And what about the mention of copper coins from the river - or did Deniz hear that wrong?

To satisfy his curiosity, Deniz casts a druidic cantrip on small sections of the river, first near the banks and then gradually deeper, turning the water momentarily upstream and leaving the riverbed dry. He wants to see if there is anything under the water that might be of interest to human, elves or monsters...

(OOC: Not sure if the blights were a random extra, or if it's implied that they are what we came for...)
