Grow, Nevenka commanded the vines. Grow for me! Please! They needed to be stronger, needed to be more numerous, but she couldn't keep up with the creatures movements.
When it pinned Jianfan down Nevenka had been about to throw herself bodily onto its back in the hopes of at least distracting it, but then Ji was free. She wished she at least had some sort of weapon she could help with, even though she wouldn't be very good.
All she could do was shoot up further vines, focusing her powers to a defined point to cover those vines in spines and thorns along their length. Two of these now-sharp vines grabbed the creature's back legs just as it was about to leap again, making it fall flat on its stomach with a horrible growl of fury.
