What good are all these CHLOROPLAST UNITS sitting in your Energy Reserves if you don't use them? You decide to grow a CORPSETRAP BLOSSOM. For trapping corpses, I guess.



Your TRICK BLOSSOM explodes in a shower of springs and confetti. It would have been hilarious had anybody been around to see the trick. In its place sprouts a sure-to-be-useful CORPSETRAP BLOSSOM, an expenditure which drains three CHLOROPLAST UNITS from your Energy Reserves.

>Copter Blossom.

Next on your agenda is getting rid of that IMMOBILIZED Action Trait, so you can track down that TREACHEROUS DRIP.



To this end, you use four more CHLOROPLAST UNITS to grow a COPTERBLOSSOM.

> Consume dead animal

You examine the DEAD ANIMAL more closely.






It appears to be a dead MANNERPILLAR. This simple-minded creature must have dined on your POISONOUS TRICKBLOSSOM over the course of the night.



You shove the MANNERPILLAR into your CORPSETRAP BLOSSOM. From there, it is transferred to your DIGESTIVE ROOT-SYSTEM.



As the MANNERPILLAR digests, you replenish your Energy Reserves with five more CHLOROPLAST UNITS.

Now what?
