R4T12: Aasgar struggles mightily and breaks free of the hold while calling out tactical advice to his allies, his voice carrying farther than normal with his prodigiously large lungs. He is inspired with his last withheld maneuver, but at the cost of his wounds showing ever more (13).

R4T10: Galakhar, probably unseen by most as he is against the southern wall midway into the room, is heard calling out, "If you can bypass the base brambles to do so, make your way to the leader and cut it down and the others will fall as well! These servitor-brambles aren't even real plants, but animated plant-like constructs."

Despite his own advice, he is limited by his available path and is seen coming in to engage the blinded bramble (#3). He takes a quick sense of the thing and then hits it with an upwards thrust that does 21.

R4T9: "Got it! Thanks, Gal," says Cici. "But that big one Abenor is fighting is definitely some type of plant. Fits the description of something I've heard called a 'brambleblight' before, but that's all I know of them."

Now that Aasgar got away from his, Cici has to be more careful and aerobatically moves from Bramble-1, but then exposes herself to the brambleblight itself even as she was taking out a small amber stick. The brambleblight misses Cici thanks to Aasgar's advice, and Bramble-1 also tries to attack her but misses wildly. Cici goes down to a height of 10' and the southeastern corner before casting her spell. With a loud crack and a flash, a lightning bolt goes partly through the brambleblight (11 electricity) to hit Bramble-3 squarely (20 electricity).

R4T6.1-.0: Ivilva's voice finally ends the long casting she made. A rat with thick, gnawing teeth appears to the east of Bramble-1, flanking with Aasgar. It bites and gnaws the servitor bramble for 4.

End Round 4, Begin Round 5 ...

R5T25: Phaevin, you are in a very bad way, barely conscious and grappled by Bramble-2. What do you do?

Brambleblight and all animated brambles on deck and in the hole ...
