Tendril (d6 damage) 16 HP 0 armor
Special Qualities: Sprays Yellow Musk Zombie Pollen
The yellow musk creeper is a hideous plant that grows in haunted graveyards, grisly battlefields, and other places where death hangs heavy in the air and thick in the soil. The yellow musk creeper’s method of procreation is singularly frightful—it slays the living, infests them with its seeds and pollen, then animates them as zombies. These zombies serve the plant as a guardian, but when new zombies are created, older ones wander off, collapsing and breaking apart to give seed to a new yellow musk creeper.
Custom Move: When you inhale yellow musk pollen, ROLL+WIS.
On a 10+, you keep control.
On a 7-9, choose 1:
You’re not dizzy for hours.(-1 on all rolls until you next make camp)
You don’t have to Defy danger vs. WIS to attack the musk.
You don’t take your friends for musk zombies.
On a 6-, you’re under the yellow musk charm. Fall asleep in the deadly embrace of the Yellow Musk Creeper, zombie soon to be…
