Clara scrunched up her nose as the drunk man had landed next to her and she caught the smell of the man's breath.  She didn't pay him any mind.  She was sure his story was probably close to the truth, something was abducting women in this area, after all, but she had other things to worry about rather than some man's sob story.  She raised a brow as she saw the vines snaking out from growths from the floor, table, and a chair and binding one of her new compatriots.  She wasted no time in her course of action, getting up and dancing around the burly Horc while slashing at the vines in an attempt to get Akri free and to keep them with a numbers advantage in the moment.<br/><br/>As she worked to free Akri she also caught sight of what was happening to Alexandria as the other Horc grew back to size and was manhandling the caster.  Things were not going well in the moment.  She had to focus though.  Get Akri free first, then Alexandria, and with any luck they could get the tables to turn back into their favor.  Each of the other girls seemed skilled enough, and she had confidence in her own ability to take the larger Horc one-on-one, they just needed to get to that point.<br/><br/>What was clear, was that attempting to persuade the men to stop wasn't going to work, even with a sword at his back, the larger Horc saw no reason to back off, so they were likely going to have to fight.
