*cancerous growths form and branch out into even more vines*
*tiny vinelets metastatize off them and crawl between the floorboards*
*roots start absorbing the rainbow sludge, becoming invisible and intangible*
don't worry Fish, we are safe, as long as we don't touch the vines, despite the fact we have little space here, and they are growing... and they will kill us if we lose this free space, and the more we hit them, the more they grow...
Well, we just learned something potentially useful: this is not actually a plant. Or rather, it is at least partially hybridized with an animal of some sort. While plants can get a kind of cancer-like tumorous growth, it doesn't metastasize or spread. So yeah, part animal. Make good use of that knowledge.
*casts a personal shield bubble that blocks off the vines*
*2' poison-tipped spines sprout from the remaining vines which then produce hundreds of buds*
*buds grow into humungous armoured seed pods*
*Tavern wall collapses, letting more vines in*
*ominous rumbling heard in the distance*
Really? What now?
*giant ants rush in carrying giant aphids who drain all the sap from the vines before rushing out again, leaving behind a pile of withered twine*
...
Well ... That ... uh.
That was really anticlimactic.
well people, it was good to meet you...
but I promise you all we'll live to fight another day!
*creates a giant dome of ice*
HELP ME TO FORTIFY IT!
THEY CAN'T GET INSIDE HERE UNTIL THE SUN RISES!
I DISCOVERED IT! THEY ARE WEAK TO SUNLIGHT, THEY CAN ONLY BE KILLED WHEN EXPOSED TO IT!
or doing this. *pokes a vine, taking a sample of it's molecular makeup, then using that t create a device that will disintegrate the vines* BOOM! *vines disappear*
