She got to her feet, panting, and tried hard not to think about the possibility of falling down.<br/><br/>She considered her options, and quickly decided that running was more foolish than standing to confront the approaching vine. She turned, planting her feet squarely on the wood and bracing herself. She swung her staff off her back and into her hands, and dropped down into a defensive stance.<br/><br/>Calling on her goddess to grant her strength, she prepared to swing her weapon at the vine as soon as it came in range, hoping that a swift pain would force the mindless thing to retract.
