The Thorn Brute's charge shook the ground as it barreled toward them with surprising speed for something so massive. Astrid met it head-on with her sword already enhanced as she blocked one of its club-like arms. The impact sent her sliding back several feet, her boots leaving trails in the dirt.
"It's strong!" she called out, recovering her stance.
Liam circled right while William went left, both trying to flank the creature while it was focused on Astrid. The smaller plant beasts scattered around the chamber stirred to life, responding to their guardian's aggression.
"On the adds!" Marcus yelled, engaging three Thorn Sprouts that rolled toward Elena.
William kept his attention split between the Brute and his surroundings. A Vine Crawler dropped from above and he severed it without breaking stride, his blade cutting through plant matter like it wasn't even there.
