Session Report 10

General Summary

As things looked dire for the ruffians, Pablo came from the bushes where he had supposedly just shat a brick shaped turd and began launching spells left and right, aiding Kif and Gunter as they fought an onslaught of twig and tree.
On the right Russel battled the creatures of twig and tree. Crunches and Cracks of wood fill the air as Russel's Morningstar slams into the wooden creatures, sending an avalanche of wooden chips soaring with every blow. Behind him Carlos and Bartholomew battle the creatures with bows and spells.
Pablo passes under the front stone porch of the winery and as he does the doors ahead of him explode open, revealing a party of twig and tree that have come from within the winery, and not from the surrounding woods. This party of branch is led by a druid women wearing a goatskin tunic with horns adorned atop her head. For a few seconds the two druids parley yet this results in only insults flung at each other instead of banners of peace. The battling resumes shortly after and the druid known as Pablo Herburner finds himself surrounded by twig and tree.
As Pablo becomes surrounded Kif becomes unconscious as a branched beast slams a fist of twigs and tree down on the little verdan runt. Kif is carried off promptly inside the winery as Gunter battles the dozen plus creatures of twig and tree who wish to see his body rot gutted with splinters.
On the right side of the winery Russel falls to the branch blows and his body gets trampled as the creatures of twig and tree rush after Carlos and Bartholomew. Carlos runs for the door next to him yet only finds horses and a dead end. At the same time Barthlomew casts a knife of ice and is able to slow the rushing creatures of twig and tree.
Pablo burns the creatures of twig and tree around him, freeing himself from their tyranny of attacks. Yet unluckily the druid had retreated inside before Pablo could vanquish the beasts who surrounded him and as such Pablo had lost sight of the goatskin druid. Pablo rushes over to aid Gunter Hash horn.
Gunter is near to dead yet is able to fight off the remaining creatures of twig and tree before Pablo slaps him on the back, curing his wounds and giving the minotaur a mountain of strength. Yet things looked grimmer than ever as more creatures of twig and tree spilled out behind the duo. Gunter ran branching off a section of the creatures and fought for his life against the wave of twig and tree. Pablo fought off another split in the pool of creatures that flowed out the side winery door. 
As Pablo looked to fall in seconds a "shabooya" was heard echoing off the walls of the outhouse not 10 foot from the herburner. A half elf of human descent covered head to toe in colorful swatches of cloth and silk steps out of the outhouse, planting his leather, blue laced boots in the wet mud. At the half elf's side was a blunderbuss with a silver etching done onto the barrel, depicting flames lifting and swirling over the barrel of the blunderbuss. He fired a shot that echoed off the far mountains of Barovia. The twigs and trees in front of Pablo shattered and the druid once again stood free of foe. The three quickly vanquished the creatures surrounding Gunter and made haste to aid their allies on the right.
As fire raged in the grass surrounding Bartholomew, the warlock raged as fiercely as the fire itself, delivering spells of ice and fire to the unlucky twigs and trees who attempted to harm the wood elf. Carlos fought his way through the loading station, and burst out a back window. Why you may ask? To save his companion and budding friend Russel. With a quick tie of the tubes, his friend was back up and ready to fight.
All the ruffians minus Kif regrouped outside the entrance to the stone winery and caught up. The half elf introduced himself as Rictavio and explained to the adventurers that he had overheard in the bar about the shortage of wine flowing from the winery. Rictavio had decided to ride up after you ruffians and ask for some wine to buy himself. The prices were always better from the source Rictavio claims.
The remaining ruffians, battered and bruised, agree to hire Ricatvio to aid in retrieving Kif from the innards of the winery. For payment, Rictavio took the three casks within the wagon on the loading dock. The remaining ruffians and Rictavio head back to his own wagon to consume health potions, roasted red peppers, and to most importantly, meet Sasha!
