NPF Avatars IV, Chapter VI: Imprisoned with the Maniacs

[mauve]

Mauve was knocked to the ground from a combination of being shoved away by Flare and being on unsteady footing when the Capitalist hit the ground, sending out a ring of shockwaves as he impacted with the earth-- and Flare and Tarrin.

The vines and roots on the ground worked furiously to entagle her while she was down, but the mage refused to cooperate. She was no longer in the mood for an impressive show-offish display of magic. Now all she wanted to do was harm something. Badly. Being pushed around and knocked over so many times in one battle tended to have that effect on her.

The vines wrapped around her wrist and pulled, and Mauve pulled back as hard as she could. When the vines were sufficiently taut, she used her free hand to slash across them with her knife. Roots unearthed themselves and winched tight over the top of her foot, trying to trip her, but Mauve had had enough of falling on her butt for right now, and set the roots alight with a word.

She burned and slashed as she inched forwards, intent on doing something-- anything-- to cause the Capitalist some serious pain. She wasn't sure what, but she'd figure something out.

"Hey! Get off of them!" Mauve snarled to the Capitalist, struggling with a vine that was trying to throw her back like it had done to Skyshot. "Or I'll set your whole house on fire. Er... what's left of it, anyway."
