Seeing everyone depart, Adam takes another look into the tavern, before nodding, once. "I think we should be away from this place. We have a vault to find." With that, he starts walking, continuing along the road to Kalazart.

[Amnestic]

When you make a quick exit from the building, the music seems to grow more enchanting, the food scent more delectable, and the temperature even more comforting - but this shift is more offputting than inviting. It even seems to shake slightly when the last of you crosses the threshold, as if the place is upset you have left. But no matter how siren the song, the dice have spoken and they advised only woe - and so trusting in tools of chance you abandon the town and press on eastwards towards Kalazart, though it's still days away.

Not far out of town, you spot a tower stood alone atop a small hill on your route, in a partial state of disrepair. Such towers were put up across the country during the Last War to serve as communications stations to report on any local situations, or give forewarning of any invasions that might be taking place. From the outside, this tower looks entirely typical for such a purpose. Many of these watchposts held small House Sivis stations to help facilitate the instant communication that a war requires.

The exterior is overgrown with a thick layer of ivy and vines, blocking your entrance unless removed.

[Archmage1]

Leaving the strange Inn behind, it didn't take long before another, ancient, abandoned structure came into sight, the ancient tower covered in ivy and vines, and Adam frowns as he examines it. No one would have let vines grow up around a tower, and after the Mourning, any growth wasn't natural. But the tower could also contain useful information, and from the vantage it provided, it might be possible to see something else of use, although The Iron Witch could simply fly up and look.

He mopes a little at first but slowly regains his purpose, moving his legs quickly to keep up with his taller companions, sometimes taking short hops with his wings to catch up. When they get to the tower, he is initially hesitant and wants to press on. But Adam seems interested in knowing what's inside so Svek volunteers to investigate. "I'll take a look" From the bast for the tower, he unfurls his wings and flys up, trying to avoid the arrow slits until he is right upon one. Once there, he grabs the vines to steady himself and quickly peaks in the arrow slit, trying to see inside the tower.

The vine growth around the tower appears unnaturally thick to Adam's eyes, especially given the relatively moderate (dull) grass around the base, the vine's seem exceedingly lively and abundant. The tower itself doesn't seem out of place though - given its position it seems a geographically appropriate position for one of the many Cyran guard towers.

Unable to fit through the slit, Svek nevertheless spies two unmoving bodies on the floor inside the small upper room of the tower. From their size and location, they are likely gnomes, but a closer inspection would be needed to determine details. You can't see any signs of external wounds or blood. You can see little else due to the limitations on your vision, but there's a desk beyond the bodies.

Adam gestures at the tower. "The vines... they're not natural. Look at the grass, and compare it to the vines."

He tells everyone what he saw in the room, and then suggests a course of action. "I don't know what to make of the dead gnomes inside, but it can't be good. Should we try to burn the vines off first, or just hack through them to get to the door? Or does anyone have another idea? Once we come up with a plan, do you want to check it, Adam?"

Adam listens as Svek explains what he saw, and suggests a few options. "I think standing back, and seeing how the vines respond to a cantrip or two is an excellent idea. I can roll the dice again, but they become increasingly less reliable the more I use them, and here, danger is clear."

It was part to show that shifters were in no part lycanthropes, and partially to defend himself from demons and werebeasts. I'd prefer the blade to spells, but I assume we have announced our arrival to the surrounding area loud and clear, so we might as well barge in flames ablazing.

The cantrips fly out at the vinewrapped tower, and the unusual plantlife responds almost immediately, retreating from the crumbling tower to coalesce into vast plant creatures that twist and shudder with each motion. They detract from the walls with loud slams, and begin to make their approach. One - the creature that 'emerged' from the vines covering the tower door - appears smaller, though no less dangerous from the rest.

[Amnestic]

The lumbering mass of vines twitches angrily in response to Aanash's spell, and its companion lumbers forward on massive tree-trunk sized vine groups, whipping its barbed tendrils back and forth across the mournling, who nimbly evades two swipes but the third one catches him across the face. The wound hisses with the pain of the scratch, but moreso with the sizzle of poison.

When Surge looses his two arrows at the smaller vine creature they both slice through its writhing form and it - somehow - hisses in anger, slopping forward on eternally turning vines to retaliate against the shifter. It forms two massive fists which it slams into Surge, before unleashing a vast number of them at the foes around it. Adam manages to barely deflect it in time with his shield, but Surge, Honor, and Iron Witch all find themselves ensnared by thorny vines that tear at their bodies even while they struggle against them. It pulls the ensnared individuals back towards the other vine creatures, bringing you closer towards the tower.

Svek's fireball washes over the tower, cracking its door, but more importantly over the collected plantlife, immediately igniting all except the 'small' one. Already injured, one falls into a pile of ash, while the others are now wreathed in flames, their life fast turning to cinders before your eyes. They lack any sense of self preservation though, and rush forwards to add your biomass to their own. Instead of the whipping vines they used previously, now aflame their masses form into blunt objects wreathed in fire that slam down on Honor, and a particularly vicious pair of strikes on Svek.

Another wave of fire washes over the battlefield from Iron Witch, though even now the small leader of the plant creatures manages to evade it, throwing up a wall of vines so that only the edges of his body are licked by flames instead of being fully engulfed. His flanking allies are not so lucky, taking the full brunt of the fire that causes them to crumble to ash. Though one of Surge's arrows pierces the still-standing creature, it nevertheless moves back forward, seeking to again restrict his foes, unleashing another wave of vines against the un-grappled enemies. Having seen it once, Adam, Svek and the Witchling all evade, but the Iron Witch seems to have earned the creature's ire and focus. The vines ensnare her and drag her back to the ground with full force, scraping against flesh with envenomed thorns.

Aanash's quick flame slice knocks his own foe off guard, and when it tries to retaliate the nimble mourning either successfully endures or simply evades the strikes, causing him no immediate or lasting harm.

Svek's acid washes over the lord of vines, whose focus on ensnaring Iron Witch kept it from adequately evading. Its plant matter sizzles, and Honor uses its proximity and position to lay on the hurt, cutting through the creature's weakened exterior to bisect it. A burst of radiant maul erupts from its inner core as the massive hammerhead lodges in its centre, causing a blinding flash as the creature turns to ash before you. The vines wrapping you all fall away, allowing freedom once more.

Adam's own foe barely seems to shake through the magic that tolls around it, perhaps kept at bay by the flames, and brings down its massive bulk on the cleric once more with two blunt strikes that leave the man winded, and not a little bit singed, for his troubles.
