*As he saw the 2 workers are doing fine, he would look at the ground to see any roots and he would immediately look forwards and stand firm with his katana ready, seemingly ready for a attack. If he had time, he would use his Fleet Foot ability to increase his movement speed, he had the feeling that that impact will be stronger and hope to evade the attack, if he manage to evade he would take another swing on the trunk, but the prevent to have his katana blade bent, he would make sure his katana wouldn't get stuck.*

*Alexander would avoid the attack just in time with his Fleet of Foot, but would have to unfortunately leave his katana inside the shroom as it was stuck in there. Running forward he could grab hold of it again and push it deeper, making it 3/4 of the way through, but now the katana was going to be almost impossible to pull out now given how tightly wedged it was between the mushroom's flesh. Not only that, as he cut the half-way point of the shroom's trunk with his katana, he would notice a cloud of spores being released into the air. Perhaps Alex didn't have to worry to much about it thanks to his mask, but the spores seemed to be heading toward Tyson and Jorge as and they were too distracted by the roots to notice the spores coming their way*
Linda
*As he tried to pull his katana off the flesh, he start to think theres no hope of getting his katana off,
If he can't get it out, why not continue cutting in the inside. As he hold his katana he would try to cut the trunk his katana like a saw, might not be more effective than swinging the katana but what choice he has. As he notice the clouds of spores, he doesn't concern thanks to his mask but he remembered something. Tyson and Jorge don't. He would turn his head to them and yell* 

"Look out for the cloud spores!"

*He would look forwards to focus on the mushroom. Thoughts start to flood his mind. Who knows what are the effects of those cloud spores. His best hope is to kill the monster and get out of here.*
David
*Tyson and Jorge would look up just in time to see the spores coming at them*

"Well holy molly?! What in the Arcane Gates is that?!" *Jorge would yell*

"Don't think it matter if we know what it is, I think we got to get away from it!" *Tyson would shout out while grabbing Jorge and drag him away from the spores just in time*

"Thanks for the heads up bud!" *And they would both give you a thumbs up*

*As for Alex's sawing method, as he had said, it wasn't an effective method as a katana wasn't meant for side to side cutting and clearly didn't have the proper grip for that either, but at least some progress would be made. He would be 7/8ths of the way there, but seeing how he had to stay in one place to saw the trunk, the roots on the ground would be able to wrap around his feet and with a strong tug, pull his feet in an attempt to trip him*
Linda
*He knows that his sawing method doesn't work because katanas aren't made for it. But atleast, he tried. As he turned and would notice the same roots, he is more annoyed than scared

 "God these things are annoying." 

He would pull out 2 throwing knife from his pockets, 1 for each hand and as he grabbed on the root that is wrapped on his feet we would start to cut it as he is already enough with these roots. If he is able to be free, he could use the throwing daggers on his hand to cut the last bits of the trunk. Hoping he can finally kill this thing.*
David
*The roots would tear apart rather easily with Alex's cutting knife as they weren't particularly strong, just annoying. However they would release some spores as you cut into them. Of course having your mask would render them ineffective so it was simply another annoying nuisance. From there using your knives to hack away at the last remain bits of the flesh of the shroom you would finally make it all the way through. The roots on the ground would suddenly stop moving as well as the tall shroom itself. It seems like you had finally slain it. Looking back you would see Jorge and Tyson breathing heavily and covered with sweat, but otherwise uninjured. They would look to you and grin*

"You finally dealt with that thing? Are we good to head back?"
Linda
*He would take a look at the monster's corpse, finally slain. He would pocketed his throwing knives as he grab his katana with both hands and removed the katana off the flesh. He would turn, facing Jorge and Tyson*

"Yeah, lets go right now."

*He would holster his katana as he walked to the wagon. Having his crossbow out and pulled the string.*
David
*Tyson and Jorge would nod and pat Alex on the back*

"Man you sure saved us pal! Thanks for everything! Without you who knows what would happen to us! As thanks, you can have some of these shroom if you want, we don't mind if we get less pay. You deserve the treat!"

*They would each pull out one of the shrooms they were gathering today and hand it to you as they head back to the wagon*
