[ Crow would probably be going into evil mage territory if he tries to curse people in the same way. He could, but he doesn't quite have that kind of malice in him. Even if the banyan tree is a living thing, he feels justified in hurting it with how it's been treating the prisoners here...including himself.
As Hijikata goes over his handiwork with fire, and the prisoners join in, killing these nasty weeds, Crow continues on to the next corridor to curse another root. Though, the more he uses his magic, the more his energy starts to deplete as well. He stares down at the restraints as they glow wickedly as it steals his energy. He can already feel the fatigue starting to settle on his body, Crow shakes off a bout of dizziness, he has to keep going.
And that's when his hedgehog ears twitch, he hears the footsteps in the distance. It sounds like a squad of guards is racing over to the Mandrake cell block to contain the situation. Crow shouts out warns Hijikata so he can be prepared.]
Incoming!
[What now? If they get caught, they'll definitely be thrown into one of those cells for the rest of their lives. The musician panics for a bit, wondering if he should keep jinxing the roots or figure out a way for them to escape. They've come so far, so he doesn't want to leave their work unfinished. Guess they'll figure it out later. He tries to influence his curse to spread throughout the entire outgrowth, for the most part, he's able to afflict them with his curse. Though the spell is powerful, it takes most of Crow's energy to cast. He sags against a nearby wall, catching his breath and weakly signaling Hijikata to finish the job.]
