FIVE HUNDRED FIFTY SIX
(I/C)
Not seeing anything nearby, Kovid looked east again and asked, “Alright the bushes are down for now. Should we move the ballista into the garden? We can keep to the paths best we can…”
As Kovid trailed off, Lannis frowned, asking, "Master Dwarf, are you okay? Did you get hit in the head? A hit to the head can change a man, or so I've heard. The Ballista is at the side door." He pointed south and east. “Remember? We moved it there?”
“By the stuck door?”
“It just needs to be pushed over. That’s all.”
Looking in his pouch, Wyn took out a vial and motioned Brendon closer. “Du Lac, cen we trade Giant Strength fer de Recall potion, s’il vous plaît?” The two men swapped potions. “I tink you will need dis to help move en aim de ballista later. En you may ‘ave too many magics on ye now to hold all doze potions.”
“Will do, Wyn,” Brendon lifted his wine skin up and sloshed it about. “No? No one’s parched, ok more fer me.” He then took a drink.
Motioning back into the garden, and hearing the noises of something moving through the underbrush, Abraxas suggested, Scythe swinging, "We should probably stay aqui amigos, y let los bushes come to us, dos a una tiempo!"
Holding her own flail up, Lyra added, “Let’s see if they follow and how fast. I doubt these things think logically. Plants are usually stupid.”
Giving the area a once over, Wyn nodded, getting in place by the door again, sword out. “Ok, Salazar. I agree. Let’s wait a minute ‘ere to see if de plants come ova ‘ere.”
The group waited, heart rate slowing, watching carefully. They could hear movement and it was from the shadowy south area of the room. After a few minutes they could see 1..3 of the 5’ tall ambulatory foliages dragging themselves closer, fronds waving, vines, roots, and creepers reaching and pulling. They were coming along with some speed, but not a lot of haste. They were still the better part of 60’ and closing on us when Wyn noticed something behind Lyra. “Wot is dat?”
The group turned and on the wall, close to the ceiling, was a small mossy patch. Fronts were reaching out of the patch and waving about. And the patch was growing. At a good enough clip, maybe doubling in size in only a handful of seconds. And it had the same general coloring as the foliage menaces crawling our way.
“Ah…That’s not good,” Lyra said, swinging her flail at it and flattening the immature creature with the weighted end.
And from the south, we could hear Corfard burst into another round of laughter. “Oh! I am so enjoying our time together. AH HA HAH AHAHAH!!”
