Vela'tohr plant

A plant native to forests in Forfedhdar. The plants there are blighted by an unholy force which transforms them into undead. Denizelva donated a healthy plant to the Crossing Temple shortly after her arrival there.

Description

The vela'tohr plant is a large, stalky bush about the size of a Halfling. Its thick stem supports a large head type appendage wrapped in giant dark-green leaves. Sprouting from the sides of the thick stem are dozens of long thin tendrils which are coiled about its base stalk. The plant appears to be in a closed off dormant state currently.

Interactions

• RUB:You boldly work your fingers in between the stalk of the vela'tohr plant and the tendrils coiled tightly about it, trying to pull them loose. After several moments of fruitless struggling without budging the iron-like bars of fleshy green plant, you give up.

Roundtime: 10 seconds

• ((com|pull}}: The vela'tohr plant suddenly jerks back as you move to harm it, lashing its stringy tendrils out to entangle you, dragging you to the ground!

The vela'tohr plant's tendrils uncoil from around your body, leaving you in a lumpy heap on the ground.

Atmospheric Messaging

• A red-bellied shrike flutters into view, landing atop the closed pod-like head of the vela'tohr plant.

After several moments of carefully preening its feathers, the small bird flits off once more into the night sky.
