Actions

Multiattack. The dryad makes two Poisonous Thorn attacks & one Sapping Vine attack.

Poisonous Thorn. Melee or Ranged Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 5 ft. or range 120 ft., one target. Hit: 13 (4d4 + 3) piercing damage plus 10 (3d6) poison damage. If the target is a creature, it must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or have the poisoned condition until the start of the dryad's next turn.

Sapping Vine. Melee Weapon Attack: +8 to hit, reach 30 ft., one target. Hit: The target has the grappled condition (escape DC 16). Until the grapple ends, the target has the restrained condition, & the dryad can't use the same vine on another target. A creature restrained in this way takes 13 (3d8) necrotic damage at the start of its turn.

The dryad has six vines. Each vine can be attacked (AC 20; 10 hit points; immunity to poison & psychic damage). Destroying a vine deals no damage to the dryad, but any creature grappled by that vine no longer has the grappled condition. All vines immediately wither & disappear when the dryad is reduced to 0 hit points.
