Four deep slices appear on the ancient tree of evil, and enormous chunks of bark fall off, pulling masses of sickly looking sap with it. The smell is, oddly enough, merely the same as of most tree sap, not something that suggests its evil.<br/><br/>The wailing of the Nighttwist increases to almost unbearable levels, and it throbs violently. There is a pulse, and then the ground tears open, unleashing thousands of barbed vine-like tentacles, each ending in a spearhead that opens up to reveal seven rows of jagged teeth and long, oozing tongues. They tear right through Michelle's limbs, binding her, the thorns burrowing through her skin as the ground itself appears to be home to a gargantuan monster, the fangs appearing strangely phallic in appearance...<br/><br/>On some level, she understands that it is only an illusion, but it is real enough for her body that the overwhelming pain causes her to reel back.<br/><br/>(Michelle wins 10 damage, 4 Strength damage and is Stunned for a round)<br/><br/>Snapdragon chooses not to just sit idly, and chants briefly as she approaches. Suddenly, a large gathering of dark, pendulous clouds begins to swirl around, gathering in a twisting storm...<br/><br/>Michelle spends a round being stunned, and the villainous tree takes full advantage of this, lashing away at her and ignoring the clouds ahead. Somehow, even though Michelle is unable to properly defend herself, two of the branches slap ineffectually at her, unable to harm her at all. Three more, however, pummel her viciously, while the fourth lashes across her chest, hitting extremely hard.<br/><br/>(miss, miss, 30 damage, 31 damage, 33 damage, critical: 61 damage)<br/><br/>Unfortunately for the night-twist, however, it just wasn't enough to drop her. The stormclouds then finish gathering, causing an enormous spiral of wind to buffet the tree about, pulling thousands of leaves up into the sky. Somehow it was aimed so well that it finishes just short of Michelle. Snapdragon then runs up and unleashes three searing rays of fire. Although one seems to get caught by the drag of the wind and spiral out at a strange angle, the other two strike the tree, eagerly igniting it and releasing a puff of terrible black smoke.<br/><br/>The night-twist takes 52 fire damage, seemingly vulnerable to the flames.<br/><br/>Finally, Michelle returns to her senses.
