*Jorge would be freed from the roots and he would rush over to Tyson's side. They would be breathing heavily but otherwise look unharmed. They would at you and smile and offer a thumbs up*

"Thanks Alex! Really saved us there. We got the shrooms we need so let- watch out!" 

*From behind you would catch a glimpse of something coming at you at terrifying speed. But that wasn't the only concern you had. The roots would be quickly moving toward you feet, trying to grab hold and 'tickle' you*

*As he saw a glimpse of a figure charging at Alex as fast speed, he dropped his throwing dagger and would draw out his katana using both of his hands and would thrust the front tip of the katana at the figure that is coming at terrifying speed, but he didn't notice the roots, fortunately the plague doctor outfit thick cloth would prevent outer roots to tickle him, he wouldn't feel **Most** Of the tickle, but the roots can go in his boots but it will take time. As he hit the figure with his blade, he would yell*

"Grab my throwing dagger if the roots try to attack you again! I am busy with this thing!"
David
*Jorge would look to Tyson and they would nod in unison. Tyson would grab the dagger while Jorge safeguarded the shrooms already gathered.*

*As for the figure swinging at Alexander, your katana would make contact with thick fleshy mushroom cap. It would seem to be one of the violet shrooms the robed figure was telling you about. As it was a plant it seemly felt no pain as your katana pierced it and instead continued to carry its momentum to slam you into the ground. The blow itself wasn't brutal, but was enough to knock the wind out of you as the mycelium roots on the ground grab a hold of your arms, legs, and neck in an attempt to 'tickle' you.*

*Jorge would attempt to rush over to you to help but some more roots would appear and intercept his path, forcing him to deal with them first. Hopefully Alexander has some other trick up his sleeve to escape this sticky situation on his own*
