At last Alina is successful in freeing herself from the gourds. Most of this success comes from her own actions - but no small amount is due to Amalia. Rather than make any real headway on the vines, the Shield instead gets the gourd's undivided attention - and wrath.
They release Alina with a series of hisses, leaping at Amalia. Before she can respond the baker will find herself pinned down, vines adhering each of her limbs to the ground. Jyoti's starlight keeps the gourds from doing anything too violent, but the baker is in a bad spot. Not badly injured, perhaps, but certainly with a deep wound to her pride.
Melita doesn't have much more luck. The gourd that holds Fangorn is reluctant to let go, growling angrily as she approaches with her staff. Whatever hallucinations it's having do cause it to ease its grasp on the companion... and transfer itself to Melita's calf, where it latches on with tooth and vine, greedily trying to get at the artery within.
Samuel has no issues slipping away, the weenie.
