He does... But...

Eldra could definitely see the Snapdragons at a distance. What were they even doing over in the bushes? And they didn't even notice the whispering girls! They definitely seemed distracted by something, and they could come running at any moment.

The oozing slime didn't exactly work, but who knows, it could have helped?

Marduk's struggles actually worked! However, he was still really groggy and disoriented from waking up, and so wasn't exactly seeing right... He did not see Eldra, and wondered if she was still here at all? He also did not see the Snapdragons lurking in the bushes.

He did, however, see a Slimegirl standing nearby. Judging by how slimy his arms were, had she tried to save him?

In the distance, Eldra could see the Snapdragons starting to move. She knew they'd likely come back soon...

(Snapdragons Perception against the girls whispering failed. 4 vs 6.)

(Marduk breaks free! However, doesn't see Eldra... Even though he's right beside her.)

(Eldra can see the Snapdragons are coming back very soon or instantly if they hear a sound due to the nat 20.)
