Abylus's spear punctures the nut, and it quickly falls still.  The other three, though, are holding tight!  They're going to need to be extracted manually, it seems.  Furthermore, the one on her leg seems to be secreting a rather painful secretion.<br/><br/>(1 dmg)<br/><br/>Cadrick winds up for another strike but then stops.  His face changes from anger to confusion.  "What the..."  He's about to go further, but the seeds rear back to strike again.  Cadrick's sickle comes down.  He misses, but the attack distracts the seeds enough for them to miss.<br/><br/>As Lang comes down, three of the seeds jump out of the way.  One does not, and is crushed into pieces.  The others reel and strike back.  They're clumsy, though, and they all bounce off Lang's scales.<br/><br/>Taizee's sword slices one of the seeds, and cuts it clean in two.  The others jump back and attempt to latch on.  They all fail.<br/><br/>The plant tries to maintain its hold on the fox, but the fox manages to break free.  Before it can do anything, the brush hardens.  What used to move like a snake turns into solid brush again.  Vines fall limp, almost lifeless.  And a voice rings clear in everyones' minds.  "Help me!  It's unconscious, finish the job!"<br/><br/>(Seed groups B, C, and D each lose one of their four members, leaving 3 in each.  Group A still has all four and the plant demon is unconscious.  Abylus is bloodied (4/9).  Everyone else is at full HP.)
