Jerk ass plants attack the Danger Gang

After their deadly battle with the black squirrels, the Danger Gang decides to hit the sack. People get healed up, and Martialis takes the opportunity to train his new falcon friend, who is named Falco.

They mount up and continue to ride through Bulgar occupied territory. Other than the light drizzle, the day goes by without incident, and they set up camp. Lleryn decides that the bland old hard tack that Eorl gave them isn't going to cut it, so he goes to scout the surrounding area for some fresh herbs. He encounters a strange looking plant, the likes of which he has never seen before. "This is a job for druid", he thinks to himself, and calls of Martialis, who identifies it as a tri-flower frond, a mean old flesh eating plant. Arben calls out to find out what's going on, when vines drop down from the canopy. Lleryn and Martialis cry out for help as the deadly tendrils wrap aruond them. Lleryn is crushed by devilish choking vine as Martialis is exsanguinated by a blood thorn. Arben and Ramble come running with torches from the campfire as Brother Peter drags Can to safety. Arben tosses his torch at the base of the tri-flower frond, hoping that the vines are all part of one large plant system. The yellow flower of the tri-flower frond vomits up a yellowy acid, dousing the torch, leaving that question unanswered. A pair of choking vines wrap their way around Arben and begin to crush his bones. Ramble swats a blood thorn vine with his torch, but gets snatched up for his trouble. Arben shoots a volley of magic missiles at the tri-flower frond; but to no avail. Meanwhile, Martialis feels light headed, having had all his precious fluids drained by the blood thorn, and passes out. Fortunately, the plant has had it's fill of people juice, and withdraws it's tendrils. Ramble drags Martialis out of range and binds his wounds shortly before he bleeds to death. In the interum, Lleryn has freed himself and starts chopping at Arben's. Arben has now passed out, his bones splintering and puncturing his vital organs. Ramble shoots a few arrows around, one killing the tri-flower frond, the other slicing the one vine on Arben that Lleryn had yet to sever. Lleryn drags Arben back to the campfire and then stuffs a few goodberries down the throats of his passed out friends. Brother Peter hopes that he did the right thing by hanging back to protect Can. Everyone falls asleep.
