Tangleweeds were something the courier was familiar with, but they didn't usually try to abscond with furniture in Tal's limited experience. While Alys and Asra dealt with the baby tangler inside, the Messenger hollered in consternation and grabbed the chair, instigating a tug-of-war with the wicked-looking bundle of ornery tentacles. "Hey! Vines off, y'purple palooka!"
Given his strength, it should have been an easy match. But as one of the tentacles transferred from the chair to his wrist the courier flinched and then froze, eyes starting to glaze over in spite of the chilly rain and the ongoing contest of wills and brawn.
If Boreal hadn't been watching the scene inside play out with mild concern and a protective wing over Sascha things might have gone worse outside. But as she felt the nightmare start to take hold of her companion's mind the dragon shook herself and then bounded out the door, opening her jaw to let loose a stream of fire at the purple weedball.
Tal jolted free of the trance as the tangleweed released him to roll frantically around in the mud, trying to put out the dragonfire that Boreal continued to pour onto it as Tal grabbed his chair and retreated back into the Temple.
Tal succumbs to the tangleweed but Boreal comes to the rescue and he tries to get the chair back inside!
