Maura gasps in surprise as the elementals appear, cutting down another of the vines attacking her, but more keep coming; she seems to have wandered into a nest of Assassin Vines. The elementals quickly distract the vines, as does the animated skeleton. She hisses at the sight of the monstrosity, looking about ready to attack it as well, but heeds his advice instead. "I was trying to discern the nature of the corruption in this forest... it's almost overwhelming, at some points. I fear what lurks in this land's heart." Soon, they're a good ways away from the battle, Maura panting to catch her breath. "I was too absorbed in reading the land, I lost sight of what was around me."
