[][Trent the Vamp] Use your seeds to grow spikes and impale a path out of the swarm.
[][Trent the Vamp] Try diplomacy, surely the vampire man can be reasoned with.

Ugh, it was a trap. Ok, plan time!
[][Trent the Vamp] Use your seeds to grow spikes and impale a path out of the swarm.
If we impale a path out of the swarm, we could take out a number of zombies and have a way to escape this area, but it would take a lot out of us and Trent the βρυκόλακας (might recognize them as vrykolakas, see wikipedia) would still be there with an unknown amount of zombies (seriously, how many are there? It just describes them a horde).
[][Trent the Vamp] Try diplomacy, surely the vampire man can be reasoned with.
I doubt we can diplomance our way out of this: he brought us here to kill us and we suck at Social skills. What could we offer that he wants more than killing us and even if we could offer something, what's to keep him from taking what he wants from us and killing us anyway? So, talking seems to be out.

Fighting/targeting him does seem like a possibilty. He's possibly our biggest single thread, we don't know what abilities or such he has. It might be possible that if we take him out the zombies all collapse into dust or it could be he's restrainingthem because he wants to be the one to finish us. On the positive side, it does describe the only way to defeat a vrykolakas is on a Saturday (because they're in their grave? I don't know if this applies in Riordanverse) by destroying their body totally. Beheading, exorsing, especially cremating, cutting into small pieces, and impalement are all described as possible solutions. However, the biggest flaw is if the horde is still there after we take out Trent (or if we fail to take him out), it could be hard to avoid them.
Plus, there's Blossom. Is she a demigod, clear sighted mortal, a monster in on the trap and still pretending to be our friend until she can strike a fatal blow (the later is starting to be unlikely, there's been chances for her to strike us though she could be being incredibly catious and wants to wait until we're totally exhausted). If she's not a monster, we'll want to save her while complicates things.
No trees nearby. That sounds like a pretty good idea though, finding a tree and forting up. However, QM describes the area as
@Monk Penguin , could we get some more description of the area? Are we in an abandoned lot, an abandoned section of the city, an abandoned rundown park with most of the plants dead, at an abandoned church, are we even in the city anymore or did Trent take us out of it, ect. What are nearby in the area that we can see, are there walls all around or could we run/escape in any direction, is there a direction with plenty of plants visible or possible (ie, to our right is a sign that read 'Community Park' or such)?

Blossom might be a demigod or a clear-sighted mortal, but her legs are a problem to us getting away. And I don't know how good her upper body strength is for her to climb a tree, so the best we can do is get away just long enough to help hide her, before we deal with the zombies and vampire. Since I don't think we know how to drive a bus to just high tail ot out of here.

Basically, bare dirt with patches of weeds and grass and the seeds we have with us are all we have.You do a quick scan of the area. It seems that Trent knows about your chlorokinesis as there are few plants in the area, just some patches of dirt with weeds and grass in them, not nearly enough to take on the zombie horde that Trent just walked out in front of. He's got that evil smirk on his face, the one that makes people want to punch him. Before your eyes, he starts to transform. His hair, starting from the roots, turns from brown to blood red. His eyes shift from brown to grey.
