(ooc: np) The light did indeed strengthen itself, but it didn't do anything to get rid of the acrid smoke inside. Rive and Chris both started coughing as the smoke gathered inside the dome. River bent down, "Better do something soon. Smoke's not good for the air. Makes it smell." and spoke to the mound of dirt and she pinched her nose.
Just as she did that, the earth exploded into the air, throwing River back into Chris' arms. The creatures screamed in unison as Tara appeared from the hole in the earth. Or at least, what appeared to be Tara. Her torso and face were the same. Her eyes were a deep green and her hair was a mass of dead oak leaves. Her arms faded into gnarled branches. Her legs faded into the earth where they turned into gnarled roots that supported her in the air. She hovered and wavered for a moment, taking in her surroundings. Then, she waved her hands in the air and the smoke disappeared, then the dome disappeared.
The creatures immediately took the opportunity to attack the group, but Tara didn't give them much opportunity. Every branch or thorn they projected was deflected easily by the Tara-thing. When they changed tactics and started attcking Chris and River, she somehow summoned a wall of swirling leaves around the two and protected them. She had gotten rid of Chris' protective dome for some reason that they didn't understand until she did her final thing. She thrust large oaken looking roots from the ground into the wall of creatures, ripping the wall apart from it's inside. Ichor flew everywhere and the smell and screames filled the air.
