Character Name: Gossip Mink Hour Rolled: 4:00PM CST
Up, down, around. Over, under, through. Mink was beginning to wonder how much longer she could stomach looking at so much greenery and so many leaves. It was all starting to blend together. Except for that odd, flat grass looking stuff. She poked it with a claw. Maybe it was useful too? Heck, she didn't know. She may as well take some just in case.

Further into the Forest, Sundew encountered a strange growth. At first it appeared to be a mushroom that she had never seen before, its colors bright as a warning. However, an accidental brush saw it growing twice in size with no sensed repercussions. How strange...Sundew would need to keep an eye on this.

A yawn pulled at her maw even as Mink basically drug herself to a nearby lavender bed. She'd been at it for hours now and that patch of thick grass next to the lavender looked ridiculously comfortable. Without a second thought, she gathered up another lavender plant before lying down for a quick nap.

Number Rolled + Plant Discovered/situation encountered: [2 - Medicinal] Lavender: A fragrant plant with violet/lilac/gray-green foliage, upright flower spikes, and a compact shrub form. One can find Lavender in the meadows. Benefits: Oils can be extracted to use this plant orally, although healers would advice against frequent and heavy use in this fashion. Oils are also used topically. The plant in its raw state is also beneficial. It is known to be antibacterial/fungal, anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, pain relieving, and calming, depending on how it is used. Most healers carry a small pouch filled with the flower pods, dried and lightly crushed, to aid in the soothing of worried minds and will often give pinches to individuals who struggle with sleep.

The twin flower...Legend said sharing it with someone meant your souls were entwined Sundew Scion remembered. She smiled wistfully down at the plant, remembering how her sisters of the earth had gossiped and entertained who they would share with, were it true. Not for me, she thought and passed it by.

Sundew recognized the smell before she ever sighted it: lavender. It was another fragrance that triggered old memories for her: she had been an especially anxious pup, and lavender was often used to soothe her to sleep. That...wasn't to say she wasn't still quite anxious, however. She took in a deep breath and sighed pleasantly before taking the plant into her custody.

Back to the coast! Only this time, as she was leaving with a new bundle of beargrass stashed away in her bag, Mink trot passed the Speaker. Sundew Scion. She couldn't help the slight bubble of… something in her chest. She didn't know what it was but it wasn't entirely unpleasant. Still, it wasn't terribly pleasant either. In the end, she just smiled when the Terran nodded her way and tried to pretend as if she hadn't been unintentionally staring at the pretty bright dye down her shoulder.

Not far from the lavender bed was more beargrass, and a familiar face. Sundew nodded to Gossip Mink in passing, knowing she was from a once rogue seer. As chatty as Stag Jump and other rumor chasers, though Sundew didn't think her less for it. It was simply part of the culture.

Another batch of moonflowers in her bag and Mink was almost certain she'd be the next one asking for the healers to help her poor ol' joints. All this walking and running was really starting to catch up to her--and she wasn't even that old! She supposed it was just a matter of water versus land since she could quite literally swim all day without a twinge.

Number Rolled + Plant Discovered/situation encountered: [19 - Medicinal] Evening Primrose: Evening primrose flowers are also called 'moonflowers' because they bloom as the sun begins to set. A yellow flower with four petals, produced on a tall spiked stem. These tend to grow near the pools of the valley, however clusters have been seen in The Forest of Eternal Death as well. Benefits: Once the oils are extracted, this herb can be used both topically and orally. It may take several weeks before one notices the changes. Its main benefits seem to be the soothing of dry, irritated skin, enriching of fur texture and sheen, as well as the reduction of inflammation in joints. Evening Primrose has been a part of the Elven 'beauty routine' for many years, contributing to the gorgeous fur in which most possess. Medicinal Stash Count: 8

In the Hidden Pass, perhaps hidden treasures grew. Sundew knew that sage liked to grow there, so she took a leisurely stroll through to collect some. No doubt the elders would be vying for some come winter, if Salvation's warning and her own visions were true. The more they could collect now, the easier it would all be in the end.

After a small rest, Mink was back at it! For reference, she peered inside her bag at the plants she'd already gathered before turning her attention back to the ground around her. Spotting a patch of mint a few feet away, she got to her paws and made her way over to collect some.

Mink made her way about the valley with her nose stuck to ground, which in hindsight was probably a bad idea. Her only warning was a loud, angry BZZZZZ before she felt the sting to her nose. The poor girl let out a yelp and scampered backward to get away from the bee that attacked her.

All tucked up and sleeping sweetly in a flower... your giant nose snort-snort-snorting in its tiny bee face, why, you would panic too, wouldn't you?! You have been stung by a bee! But don't worry, it's the kind that keep on living long after they've left their mark... Your next roll is forfeit. Players must skip the next hour of play! Medicinal Stash Count: 9
