Ghostfoot's Savage Tide (IC) Pt 2

[Ghostfoot]

More words of power issue forth from Lora, assaulting the magical forces keeping the seaweed alive and animate. One of the masses succumbs but two resist.

Chopping left and right Connaught bounds across the swampy floating muck toward the nearest weed beast. It lashes out at him and in his recklessness he can't evade the smashing vines. Tangles of weed smash into him for 13 damage and wrap around him dragging him closer. The plant thing entwines him in an increasing tangle of rope-like seaweed and crushes him for 9 damage as it seeks to squeeze the life from him.

Tchinik hacks and stabs at the closest monstrosity for 11 damage, the embers of his blade ineffective against it. As fibrous appendages whip about Surtros' extraplanar animal surges forward its goring attack causing 16 damage. Captain Amella drops her crossbow to the deck and steps up the creature so big that she can also engage it from the aftercastle. A few skillful blows for 5 damage overcome it and the heap collapses back down into slimy weed.

Again there is no respite. "Intruders..." With beckoning gestures the plant men again raise up two more massive sloughing heaps of flailing seaweed to bear down on the vessel!

Even as Connaught wrestles his way free from the hostile mound, on the other side of the ship things take a turn for the worse as the weed beasts lash out dragging themselves aboard and wrapping slimy tendrils about both Captain Amella and Surtros for 20 and 21 damage respectively as the huge plants try to crush the life from them! "Captain!" one of the crew shouts, fear & concern evident as surely certain death is but moments away for the badly injured captain struggling feebly against the overwhelming sludge!!

Also, can I tell who on the ship, if anyone, is below 50% health? I might as well try and combat medic it up now if this is going to be an endurance skirmish.

Cavir, please remind me what the radius of your vigor aura is?

Edit: In retrospect I should have used an Action Point to allow Connaught to avoid that grapple. Sorry about that...
