When Plants Attack

Objectives
Rescue 5 Taurajo Refugees by killing the Grasping Overgrowths that ensnare them.
 * Taurajo Refugee Rescued from Overgrowth (5)

Description
This camp was built at the edge of this jungle, and already it is overwhelmed by plant growth. Something unnatural is happening here!

Earlier I made the mistake of sending some of the healthier refugees out to gather nuts and berries. Those that returned talked about the plant life actually grasping at their legs or even picking them up. I worry about those that haven't come back yet.

, please rescue the refugees trapped in the grasping overgrowth around the camp.

Reward
You will receive:

Progress
Be careful out there. The plants and animals of this jungle are outside of the natural order.

Completion
Thank you,. But now on to the larger question:

Where is this overgrowth coming from? And why is it raging out of control?
