Kara nods, and twirls her blade as she charges in behind you. You<em>feel,</em>rather than see, a surge of power come from the woman... and then Firedancer's edge gleams white hot with fire and arcs towards the tree's trunk. Unfortunately, a large vine lurches up and out of the ground, knocking Kara off balance and sending her swing wide... only for her fist to<em>slam</em>into the trunk with a burst of flame.<br/><br/>"<em>IGNITE!</em>" She yells, and her fist actually seems to<em>explode</em>against the tree's trunk, flames tearing away a huge chunk of bark and "meat" alike. For a moment, the wood groans... and in one last, desperate strike, a vine lashes out of the earth beneath you, slamming into your back and knocking you roughly against the tree's trunk (-29 HP). You can feel the thing's roots starting to wrap around you... but it seems that the strike took the last of the thing's strength, and the root collapses to the ground.<br/><br/>Beside you, Kara is breathing heavy, and she looks at you nervously.<br/><br/>"A-are you Okay?"<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button"> OOC</div><div class="spoiler_body">Yea, cold subtype hurts vs. you... :P Another 2400 exp you make look almost effortless.</div></div>
