Well. "I did try burning them away. They grew back, same as they did however else I dealt with them." The entire problem; nothing kept them at bay. Regenerative powers. Kamran was fairly unabashed. He was glad the students had not been encouraged to set fires around the school, but, as groundskeeper, he had exhausted near every option in trying to get rid of the vines.

This talk of roots and weeding rang true, going by what Kamran could tell now that he, too, got a good look at the passage the kids had found. Fire wouldn't work on the vines, but the plant at the centre ought to be destroyed; the vines could withstand what the main body of this Pharaoh's Triumph could not, provided it still lived.

"So, yes, we burn the plant that started it all. The root, as Mr Flamsteed has been saying." Not the literal root, necessarily, but the root cause, the thing at the heart of all this. Even if that was all that was necessary to deal with the problem, Kamran would have to agree with Meda that every last literal root needed digging up as well, just to be sure. Blackthorne had the right of it too; if the poison fog also functioned as a defensive measure, that meant they needed to set their sights on the greenhouses. "Unfortunately, Miss Blaze, the fog would still be an issue even if there was a secret passageway."

But to even get to that stage was all easier said than done. Mia had verbalised the essential problem here - the greenhouses were inaccessible, and the fog dissolved magic. "Yes, Miss Grimm. Non-magical fire seems like the way to go; we'll have to try and get it from the outside."

The who, why, and how was something to consider later. Solving the immediate problem was the priority, before this apparent curse took a greater hold on the castle. "No time like the present, I suppose. Let's make for the greenhouses, and stay well back from that fog. Try and brainstorm ways we can do this en route." He glanced in June's direction, a little guiltily, suspecting what might have to occur in the very near future. "... can't hurt to collect some wall torches on the way." Kamran would, at least, after helping in sure no poor innocent little dove was left behind in the Restricted Section. He knew nobody would want that.
