*Hitoshi leaves Mevis to fend off the attacks from the vines. He's a tough kid, he can withstand a couple bitch slaps. He does, however, take the attack of opportunity and gets closer to it, thrusting at its core as it attacks Mevis. No magic should be needed yet, right? Let's keep it simple for now.*
Carmen
*Mevis would see the incoming attacks and smirk. It seems like he would be able to take on the role as tank this time around, and smiles seeing Hitoshi trusting him to handle himself. If he was fast enough, he would choose to grab the vines and hold them in place to make it easier for Hitoshi to cut it down. Otherise, he would use his reinforced arms to parry each blow from the whip, trusting his defense will be sturdy enough to handle them.*
Katherin
*Nara was quick enough to guard against the attack but not quick enough to get an accurate shot, he misses the paralyzing venom. Arctic managed to grab the vines, but the serrated edges of the vine cause wounds to his hand, good news is that he electrocuted one of the tendrils. Hitoshi manages to get an attack in to finish off the vine, as Mevis is distracting it enough by holding it's vines, however Mevis also gets cut.*
Ramona
*Arctic would wince as it cut his hand, bringing the vine closer, letting loose one hand to use electric bolt*
```electric bolt used 15 mana, 5 gained, 70 mana remaining```
Sherrie
Nara would hiss in annoyance after having missed his mark. This time he would conjure a bright blue, watery-looking orb and lobbed it in the direction of the vine's feet. When the orb hits the vine or the ground, it would create a water spout 5 feet in diameter originating from that point. Nara's intention is to trap the vine and buy him time to get a hit in.

`Nara used Tornado Trap for 18.75 Mana, putting him at 91.25 Mana remaining.`
Carmen
*Mevis would merely shake his hand to dismiss the pain. There was no time to flinch as there were still enemies nearby. However it seemed the two of them have been mostly restrained by their team mates, meaning they only had to finish the job. Mevis would look over to Hitoshi and motion for him to deal with the one the naga was fighting. He would then run over to support the reptile by bringing down an axekick with his reinforced leg onto the somewhat paralyzed whip*
Thomas
*Hitoshi does as is suggested. He aids Nara by sprinting toward the vine he's focused on and stabbing at its core as well. Easy enough stuff. For now.*
Katherin
*Nara's bubbles trap the assassin vine long enough for Hitoshi to murder it before it done anymore harm. The vine wasn't that stupid anymore, it noticed that Arctic was preparing a spell and moved a vine infront of itself to block the bolt, Mevis however, would be able to finish it off still. The combat was over and you all got full loot from the vines.*
Sherrie
Nara would inspect the vines for a bit before they moved on, trying to remember what they'd looked like. It is his first encounter with them after all. Otherwise though, he would move with the party once they decide to proceed deeper into the forest.

`Nara regenerates 5 Mana, putting him at 96.25.`
Thomas
*Hitoshi wipes his blade clean with his gauntlet-clad hands and examines it a second time, chuckling all the while. Howzat for a fight? Mevis and Hitoshi are certainly getting far more skilled, that's for damn sure. He approaches Mevis and offers a high five with his left hand. Of course, they still need to be prepared at all times, but that doesn't mean they can't celebrate the little victories.*
Steven
"Let's breeze through this, eh?"
Carmen
*Mevis would smile slightly but would not raise his hand to high five. It was good that things have been going well so far, but it just made him feel worse about himself. If it was this easy to clear out the threat, they all could've wiped it out earlier. Their negligence caused people to die, and rejoicing now would seem disrespectful.*
Gloria
"I hope we can... But even if it isn't easy it must be done. Let's not jinx ourselves by celebrating just yet"
Thomas
*Hitoshi seems a little disappointed that Mevis doesn't return the high five, but doesn't hold it against him. After all, while Hitoshi wouldn't directly admit it, it **Was** Their fault for people dying... And they need to do this mission to try and make up for that. He decides not to ask about Mevis for the millionth time. Maybe he's being overprotective. Fuck it, he **Is** Being overly protective. Mevis doesn't need someone to worry about him for merely existing. Hell, that's probably just making the kid's life a misery...

Okay, maybe not that far. But still. Nobody likes someone prying into their every life detail.*
