Tony is right to be cautious. As soon as Imogen starts for the tree, the vines hidden within Mrs. Pletcher's garden begin to move and the foliage that's still obscuring them begins to rustle. First faintly. Then violently.
One of the vines lashes out like a snake, making a grab for the girl and catching her by the leg with a grip that's painfully tight. (ROLLED 3) With this firm hold, it immediately begins trying to yank her from the branches. The vine trapped behind the door also begins to move again, this time striking out with enough force to send Tony sprawling. (ROLLED 1) This is...probably a novel experience for him. The vine has now sprouted three purple flowers, all dangerously close to blooming.
