Features

Passives

  • Roaming Plant

    The Tumbleweed can only be talked to via Nature's Tongue or a similar ability. It can give basic information on the places it has blown through in the past 1D4 days.

    Where did the Tumbleweed come from? How can it be urged to remember even further back?

  • Wind Rider

    The Tumbleweed is constantly on the move and difficult to catch, so long as the wind is blowing. Any Action Roll done to catch it is done with disadvantage.

    How can the party slow the Tumbleweed down? What does the Tumbleweed say as it dodges the party?

Actions

Reactions

  • Looking for Water

    When the party pours out a significant amount of water, by either using a mundane resource or by marking a Stress to conjure it, the Tumbleweed will take root, rehydrate, and prepare to propagate its seed. All PCs gain a Hope.

    How can the party ensure the Tumbleweed will be safe where it has rooted? How does the Tumbleweed express its gratitude?
