If shot into a person, you must inflict at least three wounds or the arrow pulls out if any significant load is put on the vine. If you score three or more wounds, the arrow remains lodged in the target's body securely enough to support the weight of the person it's stuck into; you can then tow them around by the arrow, though they can use their Strength + Athletics to resist.
