What happens next then?

A Botanical Beatdown

The Snapdragon stopped chasing Digit when it was squared up by the Shambling Mound, the much bigger, much much scarier horror being ten times its size. The mound puffed up, flared tendrils... And the Snapdragon screeched and took on its most threatening stance in reply.

The mound didn't stand for this, not for a second. It lashed out before the Snapdragon had time, vines exploding around it like a snare. The two beasts grappled, the Snapdragon getting loose the first time before being enveloped thoroughly the second time. It screeched again, its feet coming off the ground while the Shambling Mound overtook it.

Then it slammed the Snapdragon hard on the ground. So hard, in fact, that the other plant creature stopped moving, effectively dead.

The Mound sniffed the air. The scent of birth, of feminine hormones, lingered on the wind. It wandered to the edge of the cabin, its huge body scraping along the walls as it began to explore what the structure was. Tendrils loosed from its body and smelled along the windows, along the doors, trying to ascertain what the building was, but most assuredly smelling Hana inside.

The girl inside, Hana, made a relieved sigh as after birth fell from her following the delivery of the last eggs.

The Shambling Mound heard this and began to press on the walls, looking for a way in...

It seemed uninterested in the Kobolds or the Cocktulas on the porch.

(Perception Shambling Mound vs Evasion Hana: 17 vs 4)

Now what!?
