As soon as the vials breaks against the wood, an ear-piercing scream fills your minds.  The central trunk starts to blister, then stiffens up.  Its leaves drop before they can even shrivel up.  The trunk, however?  It shrinks as water and sap almost squirt out of it.  As a result, it quickly shrivels.  So quickly, in fact, that the trunk actually starts to splinter.  The wave of death races across the trunk, radiating outwards.<br/><br/>Meanwhile, all of the hostiles have stopped moving. though the seeds remain stuck to their targets, including the one Lili'fey tries to chop off.  Fortunately for Celara, this also means the one in her mouth hasn't moved a bit.  The saplings, too, are frozen in place long enough for Lang to gash one almost in half and for Taizee to slice one's head off.  Unfortunately, Cadrick is similarly frozen as the mermaid's tail plows into  him.  Everyone can hear a faint *crack* as Cadrick flies backwards, landing on his back.  He doesn't move to get up, or even to change positions.  He just lies on the floor, body awkwardly twisted.<br/><br/>(So, the potion is having an effect and Cadrick and sapling 2 are dead.  Your next move, everyone?)
