I figured Ronove is probably the best vestige to have bound storywise. We are trying to move fast so she would help out there and also she isn't too powerful either. I also cleaned up my character sheet.

Asha shook her head as she felt the stirrings of the vestige napping in there starting to awaken. Ronove, a thief stole my stuff. Please help me here. She ran out into the darkness, dodging behind a bush as she reached the area the creature had filled with vines.

I think I can get to K18 with a double movement in which case she tries to hide.

Kanok grunts a brief thank you. Ensnared by the vines he lets the battle rage take over him and he shouts a savage war cry as he swings his club at the enemy, while Fang leaps to attack from behind.

He strikes true, but the blow leaves only a small dent on the tough hide. Fang's doesn't even get a good hold and his teeth only scrape the enemy's leg.

Aidan moves to take cover next to a tree and fires a new arrow that hits a shoulder.

Stiira keeps running towards the fight as fast as her short feet will carry her and she also summons some extra speed from her boots. Also peering from behind a tree she casts one of her new spells to make her comrades faster.

Using all 3 charges from the Acrobat boots for +20 ft. speed to get to M14, then casting Haste on Lily, Asha, Tuntematon, herself and Kanok.

[CWater]

The vines covering the nearby area suddenly stop moving, but instead their enemy starts growing until they reach the size of an ogre. The creature opens and closes its palm again and the thorns it left on Kanok in its last hit sink even deeper. Not stopping there it continues to pummel the warrior some more.

Kanok takes two savage blows straight to the head, barely managing to stay conscious.

Spoiler: Map

Show

Played a little with forest terrain, so pay attention please. Also it is still early morning, so while it's not totally dark, it's not brightly lit either.

Dark green squares have shadowy illumination. Meaning everyone in these squares have concealment 20%. Characters with Low-Light Vision can see normally.
Light green, everyone can see and move normally. There is a small fire in the middle of the area (I'm lazy to draw it, but it's there).
Middle green, light undergrowth, cost 2 movement and easier to hide in (see forest terrain link above). Also shadowy illumination, so total concealment 40%. 20% for those with LLV.
Light brown, small trees. Can move through and use them for AC bonus. See forest terrain for details.
Dark brown, large trees. Can't move through, but provide cover if you are behind them.
Greenish brown, fallen logs. Provide cover like low walls. Climb check to get on top. Balance check to move.
Blue, forest stream. Cost 2 movement to cross or Jump to not get wet.
Orange is the tent. Normal movement.

?? is the enemy, now Large sized.

[Athedia]

Ronove, those 'material possesions' keep me alive. Me being alive means you get to be bound. So you can lecture me later, just help me get these back! Asha grabbed Fear in her hands, letting it grow to its largest size. "Kanok! Get away from it!" She lunged forward with the spear, hoping to hurt the creature.

if hits, it'll also leave behind thorns, which as demonstrated on Kanok, can cause further damage. Removing them is a standard action.

Attack: (1d20+14)[19] flanking with Fang
Damage: (1d8+4)[10]

He slices a piece off the creature's shoulder.

It has the advantage in the dark, Stiira thinks and scoops a small pellet from a pouch on her belt and throws it towards the fight. When it hits the ground it erupts a bright sphere of light, creating a pocket of daylight in the shadowy forest.

The large plant creature looks around, slightly unnerved. Then someone utters a spell and the undergrowth comes alive again. It wasn't the one they're fighting who is doing the casting, but the sound is coming from the bush just north of them.

Spoiler: Locating

A possible square is marked on the map, make a Spot check to if you want to be sure, and/or move closer. You can take 20 on this as a standard action.

Lily squints against the sudden onslaught of daylight and she moves as if to take a step, but is jerked to a halt by the vines wrapping around her legs, rooting her to the ground. Obviously, this must be the green thief's fault. She raises her bow above the grasping vines and shoots again.

The big enemy tries to hit the centaur in the back when he turns to leave, but the blur of his armour fools them. When Tuntematon gets close, he sees another plant creature like the first one hiding in the bushes. This one is currently Medium sized. The centaur swings his club at them and it connects, though he can feel the blow softened somewhat by the creatures bendy body mass.
