(Hey, there's a reason I wanted this stupid shrub guarding the dungeon, and it wasn't for the Monty Python jokes.  The tendriculos is an utter beast for its alleged CR.)<br/><br/>Unfortunately, the tendriculous is even dumber than one might expect from an angry bush, and doesn't even recognize the spell being cast.  It lashes out angrily at the paladin, but is unable to connect as it flails away, though its roots and vines grow rapidly...<br/><br/>(Bite is 22, which didn't hit even flat-footed so I assume isn't any use now.  Tendril 1 is also 22.  Tendril 2 is also 22.  What the hell is going on here.<br/><br/>The tendriculous regenerates and is at 80/94 hp.)
