Bugbear's attack misses
Wil successfully rolls a potion to Bugbear, but his attack misses.
Viola's two attacks miss.
Mel' charge kills the snake. S2 is dead.
((Wolfen, since there was nothing in range for Commander's Strike to hit, you can use it as a free action once this encounter.))
The ground erupts with vines as the vine creature near Bugbear ensnares everyone but Viola.

Mel's Space is also P.
Bugbear grabs Wilian's potion off the ground. "Thanks Wil! I'll hang on to this one for later. First I wanna tie this bloody thing up in a bow!"
Finally free of the stinging vines, Bugbear changes position, hoping a new angle of attack will give him better luck against the vine creature.

Feeling stronger now, Viola returns to the fray. She learned from her previous failure, and takes caution in her tactics; she moves into an advantageous position and strikes with precision, attempting to feed off the life force within the plant.

Wolfen uses Aid the Injured to spend a healing surge, bringing himself up to 29. Then he uses Inspiring Word to spend another healing surge. He now has 32 + (1d6)[6] hp.
He also attempts to get himself out of the vines. (1d20+1)[10]
Bugbear successfully grabs the vine creature, and his head connects solidly with it.
Wil's attack blasts the vine creature.
Viola also is able to connect with the vine creature.
Mel, despite being unable to move, connects with the vine creature.

"C'mon ya slimy sack of worms, we're missing all the fun!"
Bugbear stomps over towards his allies, dragging the squirming mass of vines along with him. When he reaches the group, Bugbear lifts the vine creature up and tosses it down at his feet. With a crazy-eyed smile, he then reaches both arms out simultaneously and tries to slam the two vine creatures into each other.
At Melhved, "Here ya go girl, let's have some fun with these things!"

Wilian struggled to free himself from the vines that were getting a good hold on his neck already. They were also crawling up his legs, and he prayed it was not too late to act.
"F---! Gu---! Guys! Take... Cover!"
The area surrounding the vine creature was blown away by an electric blast.
Viola sees another opportunity, and gracefully glides over to beat on the prone vine creature. Using her full might, she slams into the creature with a vicious axe kick.
Spoiler

Standard: Vampire Slam on V2 (1d20+15)[30] v R (1d10+17)[22] damage

Mel feels her swing cut through various important feeling vines on its way through the creature. Try as she might, however, she still can't seem to move.
Wolfen attacks V1 with Warlord's Favor (Attack (1d20+11)[23], Damage (2d10+6)[15], if hits Melhved gets +4 to hit against V1 until the end of my next turn.
Then Wolfen uses his free Commander's Strike to order Melhved to attack V1. Attack: (1d20+16)[24], Damage (1d8+7)[13]
Wolfen looks around to ensure that there aren't more enemies. When he doesn't spy any, he takes out a rag to wipe off the end of his spear.
"Willian. What in the nine hells were those things?"
And then, as if to head off the act itself, he calls over to Bugbear and Viola "Don't you two dare think about slacking off! We're still in a combat zone, so act like it!"
"Yes, it almost seems like killing the cold-blooded mongrel before it's spell was cast would have been the... Most tactical option...?" Viola says wryly, as Wolfen's strict command rolls right off her back. She unfurls her parasol and daintily places it over one shoulder, for all the world a lady on a stroll through wildflowers.

Finally releasing herself from the immobilizing hold, she steps forward to the vine creature's remains and returns her throwing axe to her belt. She picks through the vegetative corpse, looking for its motivation; natural spirit or arcane invigoration. Taking deep breaths, Mel thanks Melora for her kindness and strength, respectfully moving these creatures along the way of her cycle.
Using the directions given her by the mayor and her keen primal senses, she tries to discern where their next move should be.
Spoiler
Nature check for vine creatures origin - (1d20+12)[26]
Use 2 healing surges.
Viola smiles, revealing pearly white teeth. Perhaps the point is lost on her, but she seems content to follow Wolfen's lead.
Her gaze turns to Mel, has she found something?
As everyone else is binding their wounds and tending their own affairs, Viola makes a feminine gasp and half collapses to the ground. With a dramatic timbre to her voice, she protests, "Oh! I fear I am losing my grasp upon this world... Perhaps I over exerted myself just now...
Won't someone please help me up?"
Spoiler
I can make a bluff check, if need be.

You learn that Vine Horrors sometimes are created when an evil humanoid dies in a natural location touched by the Shadowfell. Their evil spirit gives rise to one or more Vine Horrors. However, Vine Horrors can also be animated by those with a strong magical connection to the area they are in.
Wilian straightened his back, and walked straight to Viola, lifting her up and hanging one of her arms in his shoulder.
"Yes, of course. How foolish of me, whining about a little squeeze when those things almost suck the life out of you. Bugbear, could you give her a hand? You still have the potion around, don´t you?"

Bugbear is still struggling with untangling himself from the lengths of sticky vines wrapped around his limbs. Finally kicking off the last rope-like piece, he shakes himself like a dog and looks around at the group.
"What kind of fight was that?? Who's going to pay to watch a bunch of plants hug us to death..."
Finally noticing Viola's faint, he rushes over and sweeps her up in his arms like a child. "Good man Billy, let's give the poor girl some air. Talk to me sweetheart, how're ya feeling?"
Spoiler
OOC: Bugbear's passive Insight is 13, so if Viola wants to roll a Bluff check we can see just how easily she sneaks a bite of Bug.
