Ensnaring Vines (aura, primal) 30 feet. Twisted vines lash around the effigy, hampering its opponents. Spaces within the aura are difficult terrain. A creature that ends its turn in the area must succeed at a DC 28 Fortitude save or treat squares in the area as greater difficult terrain instead until the end of its next turn.

Sacred Offerings
Most scholars believe that the ritual to create living effigies was first developed by the reclusive group of druids known as the Shades of the Uskwood, as their fetid forms resemble the small fetishes of hair, twigs, and blood the Shades wear in reverence of Zon-Kuthon. These vile druids consider each death at the hands of an effigy a sacrifice to their divine patron, believing that the effigy's power is a manifestation of its creator's devotion.
