If adventurers camp near it, they will find as soon as they build their fire good and hot, that it begins to dim, and then die. If they, say, try to burn the Dragontree, the sparks or firey oil or w/e will simply be absorbed. When the Dragontree is starved of fire, it will turn to the heat of living blood to sate itself, piercing victims through and then using druidic magic to heal them and keep them alive while it feeds off their heat, until they are slowly starved off oxygen - as this happens, it will lignify the remains; in the event of a brushfire, these lignified remains may 'hatch" dragontree pods/seeds.<br /><br />Oh, and it kills adventures with splinterbreath and dragon claws and whatnot, that too.<br /><br />/overthinkingInkwyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388281490804164323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4986545310967925199.post-3035396379049861902009-09-24T21:45:28.780-07:002009-09-24T21:45:28.780-07:00Thanks, Rusty! you're very kind.
