Twisted injuries

The sac was hurled at one of the knights, bursting into a tangle of vines. The knight attempted to dodge the vines but quickly understood that they were unavoidable. The vines covered much too much ground for him to navigate.

The snake-like vine crashed into him, its thorn biting into his body and pulling him down to the earth. The horse was likewise caught, with its entire body devoured by a vast cluster of vines.

Instead of injuring the knight, the vine that burrowed within began twisting its skin. The nearby knight rushed to help by torching the vines. The golden flames burned away all of the vines, but the damage from them remained.

"Stay close! Watch out for the sack of vines!"

Quin shouted out to alert the others; he also quickly cleared the vines and did his utmost to assure everyone's safety. But as the vine seemed to go on forever, it grew increasingly difficult.

"Retreat back out!"
