A dangerous fight against the mandragora.

Marie fires off a fireball, striking the one of the plant’s petals. To her delight, it leaves a gigantic burn hole through it. Looks like fire is gonna do the trick as she expected. The mage scrambles to the side, dodging a pair of swinging vines that attempt to grab her. She’s not entirely sure what happens to someone captured by a mandragora, and she’s not about to find out.

She leaps over a second vine, and fires a second fireball, this one landing close to the base of the giant sentient flower, burning off three of its vines. Marie smiles. This is going rather well…

That thought came a little too soon, as she tries to dodge a vine strike, but missed a second coming from behind her, which grabs her by the legs. Marie shrieks as she is lifted into the air by her legs, dangling upside down. “Let me go you stupid plant!” She fires off another fireball, striking the plant against, burning another hole through on of its petals. It recoils in pain, but does not let her go, instead reaching up with another vine and tearing the staff from her grip.

This is bad. Marie knows how to fast without using a staff, but it takes a lot more energy and is much more unfocused. She really wishes she could use holy magic like one of those priestesses right now, they just cast easily with their bare hands… She doesn’t have much of a choice though, and prepares to cast a fireball, but her arms are suddenly grabbed, and pulled above her head.

Marie finds herself suspended in the air, her arms and legs pinned as they are wrapped by the mandragora’s tentacle like vines… She’s not sure how she’s supposed to get out of this…
