Break of Dawn [Manzanita judging] COMPLETED

[Someone]

Er..It's a bush, I dunna think it's gonna attack us?

Odno can't understand what was said, but replies to Mordik: "It's not the bush itself - but it may be a sign, like the painted steps on top of the structure. Did anyone understand what the voice said?"

Hm. No, did 'nah make it out.

Quarion seems taken aback as the voice whispers in druidic. He closes his eyes and listens closely. "I... have not heard the tongue in so long, it is difficult for me to... Yes, I have it:

"The gifts of nature sustain all who breathe. In return she asks little but respect. Nourish the soil and Nourish yourselves.

"It would seem that this is a goodberry bush. I have heard of such things, but never have I seen one. Here..." Quarion takes his waterskin from his belt. He pours a few gulps of spring water from the skin onto the roots of the shriveled plant and stands back.

 

[B4cchus]

While the water from Quarion's waterskin sinks into the dry soil the bush almost seems to move. Then, a few seconds later, it's withered twigs somehow seme to come alove as they start sprouting leaves and berries. One minute later the bush doesn't even resemble it's former self as it stands full with leave and berry.

"Well, given the words of Druidic, that wasn't unexpected," Ally ponders, "But I wouldn't assume these are simple Goodberries just yet. They may be a necessary part of some annoying multi-room puzzle that we haven't seen completely yet."

Mordik chuckles, Always seein' the bright side, Ally?

"Just trying to be prudent," she smiles and shakes her head, "Wouldn't it be dreadfully ironic and a bit disappointing if we ate all the berries and then we needed them for another room but the bush wouldn't make any more? Anyway, although we could check some of the walls and areas here for hidden things, we should probably glance at the other rooms first. How about the right, since we just went left?"

Agreed. Let's check that next door.

(OOC: Sounds good--B4cchus, next time you get a chance, you can probably move us to the next room for the moment, just to check each of them out)

 

[B4cchus]

RA: I've been very busy this week so i didn't keep the pace i wanted to. Should be better next week. I hope.

You open the door on the right, which is locked nor trapped. Behind it is a room, similar in shape as the previous one, but inside is a large, stone sllab. It is rectangular, about 8 feet long,4 feet wide and 4 feet high. It seems to be decorated with an intricate pattern carved into it that consists of all kinds of plants. Otherwise, the room seems empty.
