Message: <blockquote data-quote="Simia Saturnalia" data-source="post: 3924429" data-attributes="member: 53692">Two - Chaosium in the 80's and the d20 version more recently.Something more helpful to the thread: Lady Miriam's half-acre rosebush maze is the talk of the entire city, its spectacular blooms remaining through mild winters. Whispers have abounded in the sitting rooms and tea houses for years as jealous noblewomen guess (and in no small part, slander) about her secret. If someone could discover how her roses are tended, it would be worth a small fortune to the right household.But even more in blackmail. The Lady Miriam purchased the first plantings some years back from a less-than-savory associate of her husband - who enjoys the thrill of owning a few forbidden and sorcerous texts but is too much a coward to read them - and the entirety is a druidic sign of old and fell meaning. It is alive and intelligent after a sense, capable of commanding her through psychoactive scents. In order to bloom so strongly, it demands to be fed, to slash and shred a person and let their blood feed its roots. It has been enough so far for her house guards to kidnap a drunken foreign sailor from the docks every new moon, but the blooms have been wilting early of late and she fears more must be done to get them in proper state for her daughter's wedding next month...</blockquote>
