How has the Wood failed you ? Roll 1d6:
1 | An ill-tempered forest spirit cursed you for stealing, marking you as an enemy of their kind. Take a Bezoar Stone. Ingesting it cures any poison (1 use, unless retrieved). |
2 | A close friend disappeared into the forest. Now you see their face in any tea you brew. Take a Soporific Concoction (3 uses). |
3 | You were poisoned, losing your sense of taste and smell. You can now withstand noxious fumes and always carry Antitoxin (2 uses). |
4 | Your radical experiments turned your skin green, and you now gain nourishment as a plant. You don’t need Rations, but a day without sufficient sunlight and water leaves you deprived. |
5 | Your impressive corpseflower won a local contest then promptly killed a judge. You fled, but not without the Prize Money (100gp) and a warrant for your arrest. |
6 | You created a restorative tincture that also causes accidental infertility. Take a Healing Potion that completely restores STR. Only you know of its unintended side-effects. |
