Birds scatter, the sounds of the jungle hush, and the ground shakes to the footfalls of the frogehmoth. Getafix desperately holds onto the tree as the amphibian monstrosity's tongue tries to pull him in. The druid clumsily hacks at the tongue but the ent blade hits the tree instead. The powerful tongue snaps Getafix from the tree, into the froghemoth's massive fanged maw where it crunches and tears the druid up in seconds (35 HP.)
Meanwhile, Wulfhart and Gryev struggle with the tree trunk monster. It lashes out, one stalk striking Gryev (1 HP) and two hitting Wulfhart (4 HP.)
"Damnations!" curses Thundarr, tripping on the serprentine vines around the menacing tree trunk monster.
With further waves of her hands in arcane patterns, Ariel volleys a quartet of shimmering bolts that flay (12 HP) the heavily wounded tree trunk monster. It is dead. The stalks collapse, freeing Wulfhart and Gryev.
Groyn the dwarf turns his attention to the gargantuan frog monster. He takes aim and fires his cross bow, which hits the beast in the shoulder. The monster doesn't seem to notice. Candidiasis joins in attacking the froghemoth, intoning secret tribal words of power to shoot arrows of agrofemimagic that sear into the beast. Green blood spurts from the three holes but don't slow the creature down.
Porphyry the psychopomp opens an occultic pathway through which a ray of pain passes through his hands to hit the froghemoth (2 HP.) It barely seems to register an effect.
Fingal, Wrenly, Andover and Swilbosh climb down to jungle floor from the balcony. They join Asherrion who watches the terrible battle unfold.
All the ruckus wakes up the six sleeping vegenoids. Fingal notices first, being on the look-out for periheral dangers.
The plant men fall upon Brother Puddington and Guido, who are at the outskirts of the battle. Guido's armor and instinctive shielding of his body stops most of the assaults (1 HP), but Brother Puddington fares worse (5 HP) as wooden claws and pummeling fruit rake and bruise the cleric.
Actions for Round 4!
