A twilight
bloom, or purple death,
is
a poisonous plant.
This
tall (8-13, <7+d6>, feet),
thick-stalked
specimen has a branchless, scaled trunk with fern-like
foliage
at the ^top^. These fronds droop a short distance.
Mixed
with these are cup-shaped purple flowers
with silvery stamens,
<add male gif symbol on both sides>
the
flowers point upward. Around the base of the plant is a fine, mossy mat
which is
actually
the roots.
The
flowers exude a very attractive perfume and sweet sap.
The
vibrations of any creature passing beneath the cupped lavender <color
= Lavender - #E6E6FA> blossoms
will
cause them to gently tilt and drip a syrupy poison
from the flower.
There
is a 25% chance of the creature being struck by this toxic sap.
If
the creature fails to save vs. Poison, it dies instantly, and <c>
its
decomposition feeds the roots of the plant.
