Tales from Talaveroth

Initiative: 4

(Looks like Twitch, Si'Juul andf Elhanna go, then the plant, then Paren and the first three party members go again.)

Twitch and Elhanna find that their attacks bounce off the plant's fibrous outer skin!

(Is Si'Juul going to attack, or stand by his intention to keep watch for other threats?)

(I just watched for the first turn.)

Si'Juul will move to 20ft away and drop prone, aiming for the stalk holding the plant up just above the ground.

Attack:12

Damage:9

Re-doing due to dice problems

Si'Juul's bullet ricochets harmlessly off the tough stem!

Three smaller stalks and two long, thorny vines rise from among the leaves. The three plant buds open to reveal toothy thorns....

(Si'Juul is out of range, so any 3s will have to be re-rolled: Vine 1: 1 Vine 2: 1  Lil Audrey 1: 1  Lil Audrey 2: 1  Lil Audrey 3: 3  / Alt rolls:  1  3  1  3  3 )

Two long, thorny vines reach out to grab Elhanna, and one of the little mouths snaps at you!

Vine 1: Attack: 15 Damage: 6  If hit, DC16 Dex save to not be grappled!

Vine 1: Attack: 21 Damage: 7  If hit, DC16 Dex save to not be grappled!

Bitey Bud: Attack: 19 Damage: 3

Another plant bud snaps at  Paren!  Bitey Bud: Attack: 12 Damage: 1

And the third takes a bit at Twitch! Bitey Bud: Attack: 8 Damage: 3

Paren jumps in, spinning around and drawing his sword to slash down before following it up with a punch.

Attack 1: Attack: 14 Damage: 4

Attack 2: Attack: 22 Damage: 8

As he swings his fist the hand glows with a black energy, pulsing out upon the strike.

Hand of Harm: 3 necrotic damage

One of the vines reach Elhanna and grab on hard. (Save: 13)  Gaaah!! she yell out.

She fight hard to break loose from the grapple (action on her turn to escape: acrobatics 9 ) but th evine is too strong for her.

Bonus action spiritual weapon: she order the staff to keep hitting the large plant to try and get the druid out. Attack: 7 Damage: 7

With a mighty attack, Paren manages to do some serious damage to the plant!

The vine lifts Elhanna up into the air, holding her over the large plant bud.  The bud opens to reveal a huge, thorn-rimmed maw.  Down in the throat of the plant. you can see the soles of a pair of elvish boots...

(Si'Juul and Twitch have a turn, still!)

Si'Juul quickly stands and reaches for the vines holding Elhanna, flying 5 or 10ft if necessary, if not freeing her then hopefully at least giving her advantage on her next break attempt.

Guessing simple strength check: natural 2 (.....nope :P)

OOC: AH, sorry, I thought my dagger strikes counted as my first turn!

Maneuvering into an advantageous position to take maximum advantage of their numbers, Twitch takes a moment to try and figure out the plant. Figuring that the vines overextended, she rapidly moves in and tries to hack into the stem once more. 

Bonus action: Insight 18 vs the plant's deception, to get the bonus from her Insightful Fighting feature.
24 and 17 for 5 and 4 plus 5 sneak attack damage.

 Yep, we're on Round 2. Plant's deception is 4 though with your rolls it doesn't matter. ^^

With lightning swift slashes, Twitch strikes vital places on the marauding plant!  The vines slump, dropping Elhanna to the leaves below. The gaping maw hangs open with a pair of feet sticking out of it.

(Should I pick a new move for my round 2 since the vines are now gone? I'm fine either way.)

Combat is over, the plant is dead,

(Didn't think it would be that quick)

Si'Juul steps up and uses his talon to tear into the plant, freeing the druid.

The unconscious elf slides out of the plant to lie in a puddle of slimy sap on the leaves.

"Anyone got a means of reviving this man?"

Si'Juul moves him out of the goo and rests him against a tree.

Paren reaches down. This time his hands glow green and some of that flows into the elf.

Hands of Healing: 4

The druid coughs, sits up, and spits up a lot of greenish, gooey plant juice.  The first thing he says is, "I can't believe people go on ocean voyages for fun."

After a few more minutes, he thanks you very sincerely for his rescue. "I was trying to get a sample of one of the little plants," he says, "and failed to notice the big one. It decided to make a sample of me, instead." He starts to pick up his scattered belongings.

"Shouldn't go into uncharted territory alone.....unless you were looking to be a meal........I am sick of this island.......never thought I'd want to be at sea so soon.....alright, back to the ship...."

After the druid picks up his things, Si'Juul picks him up to fly him back to the ship, since he is likely still recovering from his little adventure.

After returning, Si'Juul will spend however long to make a dozen pepperbox rounds then go to sleep.

Unless there's ANOTHER interruption. :P
