[SE] The vines are lava!

Edmund casts a quick glance at the rest of the group and spots Sohalia's struggle. Yet before he can intervene, she proves his aid unnecessary. Refocusing on their path, the Ancient's face brightens as the vines begin to thin, "We're almost there!" With a few more blasts of fire, he sees the exit and rushes through. Spinning on his heel, Edmund prepares to help the others escape, fire ready to incinerate any vines that try to drag them back in. Splat remains at the exit, spinning around the gap that they've made to keep it open. The vines try to grab the darkling but the living shadow is far too slippery and nimble for them to trap.
