Rowan winces as Moss isn't quite quick enough to get out of the mound's way, but relieved to see him get his shield up in time to block the second blow.  At his statement of concern that this might be too much of an obstacle for them to handle, she nods gravely, but shakes her head in refusal of his offer to face the creature by himself, and let she and the elf go.  "I'm not about to leave you alone with that thing.  True, I don't know you all that well, but if you think it'll be hard for the both of us to deal with, it'll be even harder for just one."  This would be especially true, if the elf did take him up on his offer to leave, which Rowan thought him capable of, given his earlier attitude.<br/><br/>She takes a step up beside Moss, but is careful to avoid his entangle spell.  If she can't get next to him, she'll get as close as she can without getting stuck, bravely facing the mound, and scrambling to think of something that won't damage the creature.  She sincerely doesn't want to hurt it, considering Moss's...close relationship with plants, yet she also doesn't want to lose of their promised funds either.  Moss might not care for such, but she needs them to live on, and extra never hurt anyone.<br/><br/>Feeling more than a little awkward and foolish, she turns her palms out to face the mound, showing it she's not holding any weapons, and that while she can still cast spells, she would need her carving as a focus for them.  Not that she expects it to understand, but she hopes the lack of weapons on her part might calm it somewhat.  "I'm sorry about my companion's words just now," she offers, unsure if trying to talk to a plant and convince it not to hurt them will work, but she can't do any worse than Moss did at the attempt.  "We're here because the person that lets you eat their grapes is worried about you, and wanted us to help find you.  If you'll let us take you back to him without harmin' us, I'll ask my friend here to free you from his spell," she offers, keeping her voice gentle, hoping to convey friendly concern, even if it can't understand what she's actually saying.<br/><br/>PC:  Feeling like things can't go much worse, Rowan tries to persuade the plant not to attack them, and hopes to extend that to its being cooperative in either following them, or leading them back to where it's supposed to be.  A roll of 14 on the die, +5 for a 19 total.
