Jarlas administers some field medic magic to his comrades. Hari agrees they should be moving, that there are dangers yet in the woods. The party follows the direction that Shanareen lured the Wortlings. It isn't long before they come across the mulched remains of W2. It seems Shanareen's tactics had some success.
The party moves through the forest as quietly as they can. The forest is preternaturally quiet and so it is quite easy to hear the large darts being expelled with terrific force. Their whistling through the air alerts the party that their quarry has been waiting for them.
30' feet away, In a 30' clearing stands the Wicked Wort (total 45 feet away), a creature at least 30ft. in height with long branch arms sweeping across other trees.
The darts come through the trees. 4 of them manage to get through to the group.
Hari, Dathyra and Entropy cry out in shock and pain as large barbed darts puncture them through their light armor. Jarlas fortunately was able to turn aside the dart with his Mithril Plate.
The Wicked Wort is visible in the clearing 45' away.
"The water will offer some protection from this deciduous devil's thorns. Move through it to make your own attacks."
With no further explanation the paladin urges his steed into a charge. Sea Spray gallops at the tree striking at it with his hoofs. Once they are right up against their foe Jarlas calls out "Paia o ka wai"The tattoos flare under his armor as there is suddenly a roar of waves filling the air. Streaking out from the Triton a wall of water forms around the tree and Jarlas.

Jarlas
Wall of water to encircle the wicked wort and himself.
Jarlas charges Sea Spray straight at the wicked wort. He summons a wall of water to surround the himself and the tree. The wall of water will hinder any further barbed darts towards his companions. Sea Spray charges into the tree WW save: 15
The Wicked Wort is shaken by the impact but manages to get its roots under itself.
Harivaldr was momentarily taken aback by the sight of the massive arboreal being, to the point where he was caught off guard by the spine flung in his direction. The pain did wonders in rousing him from his temporary stupor, and taking a mere moment to make sure nobody was laid low by the strike, he hefted his sword and shouted, "This is it,vörumerki þetta stál... og hakkaðu það niður!" With his warcry singing through the air and his sword burning with reddish light, Harivaldr dashed forward towards their foe, ready at a moment's notice to unleash Cutting Words upon the Wicked Wort should it try to slap him aside with its massive limbs.
Dathyra was completely taken by surprise when the thorns came spewing out of the forest. One scraped across the lower part of her chest. Thankfully, the leather armor was thick enough to keep it from digging deeper into her skin. Still, it cut a nice, clean gash across her waist. She let out some sound that was a cross between a cry and a gasp. The thorns hit with amazing force, knocking the wind out of her. Still, she kept her resolve and made another attempt to burn the wooden monster.

Hari shrugs off the minor wound from the dart. It only serves to stoke his Dwarvish fury. His longsword crackles with energy ready to be unleashed upon the wicked wort. Hari charges toward the tree. When he gets near the end of his movement he is about 15 ft away from his target, which is surround by a swirling wall of water, massive roots erupt from the ground. They attempt to entangle and restrain Hari. [[Hari save vs STR 14]]
Dathyra overcomes the pain of her wound to call forth Lathandar's flame. It descends upon the Wicked Wort, bypassing the wall of water, and burns the Wicked Wort with righteousness. [[ WW save Dex 13 = 2 The Wort somehow manages to avoid the radiant wrath of Lathandar, this time.
Entropy cries out when she sees Hari wrestling with the roots. She decides to stay where she is 45' away and send two shadow fell blasts at the Wort. Blast: 18 Damage: 7
Blast: 14 Damage: 8
The blasts reach the Wort but only one seems to do minimal damage.
The wort senses it is locked in combat with a dangerous foe, focuses its attack on the Paladin of the Ancients. Three limbs take slashing strikes at Jarlas.

Harivaldr snarled as the roots attempted to stop his charge, a ball of hairy rage that would not be halted! Breaking free of the roots, he finished closing in to the tree and swung with all his might, his longsword still blazing with fiery light.
Attack: 15 Damage: 13
With the brand fading from his steel, he healed himself with a growled, "Lækna!" and readied himself for whatever else was to come.

Seeing no sign of the dryad, Dathyra was starting to get worried. However, this wortling had proved durable, and nothing she had attempted to do was working. It was a big risk, especially if it fought back, but she decided to try a more direct approach. Brandishing her mace, she readied herself to swing with all her might.

Jarlas' steed, Sea Spray, tries to stomp the Wicked Wort but its hoofs are turned aside. Jarlas' trident strikes are unable to breach the bark. Hari shrugs off the entangling roots with a mighty heave and takes a breath to heals himself and wades in for a branding smite of a strike that makes it past the Wort's armored hide. Dathyra looks around for the dryad but is unable to locate her. Dathyra rushes forward through the wall of water and slams her mace into an unwary branch. Entropy tries to continue with her success with another blast.

The paladin rears back with his trident looking as though he is going to try attacking the twitted tree once more instead driving the tip in to the ground before him. Tattoos of seaweed light up on any exposed skin you can see and flows down the weapon, bursting from the ground and trying to wrap around the tree. Sea Spray continues kicking.

The dwarf grunted as a tree branch caught him in the side. That's going to leave a bruise, he thought to himself, before he turned towards Jarlas and shouted, "Let nothing stop you, drottinn minn, our work is not yet finished!" With another yell he hacked at the Wicked Wort again, determined to give Shanareen the opportunity she needed to reclaim it.
