Yellow Musk Fever & Treatment

-Excerpt from a medical journal found in Oaksholde

Yellow Musk Fever can be contracted by coming into contact with Yellow Musk Spores or a creeper (much more dangerous) itself. If one is afflicted they can become fascinated with the original creeper and if one is fully consumed by the disease will become a mindless thrall in the service of the plant. They will have only two functions: To bring the plant water and food and to attack any seen as a threat to itself and its new master.
Transformation time normally takes an hour but if the creeper itself is involved can happen at an expedited rate. Once transformed, a creature doesn't die right away but has no access to its memories, personality, or abilities. Within the first few days of transformation, a Thrall can be returned to its normal life with any magical effect that can remove disease or an intense medical procedure that takes 1 hour and requires a successful Expert level Medicine check.
