Anguilingus

Hie thee, for I shall impart the secrets of the anguilingus in its use for the mending of wounds! This humble herb holds potent power to succour the injured and restore them to wholeness. It possesseth but a single, broad leaf, from whose heart doth sprout a stalk most slender and delicate. This stalk, a very marvel to the eye, beareth an uncanny resemblance to the tongue of a serpent, its form long and sinuous. A sage in possession of a lens of magnification can discover a most curious truth: the stalk itself is not a simple support, but rather it teemeth with a multitude of miniscule blossoms. These blooms, so very small that they appear but as specks to the naked eye, are of a most curious hue – a verdant green shot through with threads of saffron.

Basic Information

Ecology and Habitats

A fern, the anguilingus is a shy and beguiling plant that favours the company of moisture. In those lush meadows where the grasses runneth long and green, and within the dappled shade of clearings where sunlight dances but does not sear, there the anguilingus makes its home. Content to grace the verdant tapestry of the late spring, it is then, when the world has thrown off the shackles of winter and life bursts forth anew, that the anguilingus reveals itself most readily to the keen eye of the discerning forager. So mark well the season, and venture forth when the days lengthen and the earth breathes fresh life, for it is then that the anguilingus beckons to be discovered.

Uses, Products & Exploitation

For a potent tisane, take four leaves, fresh from the soil, and steep them in water brought to a full boil. Let this concoction infuse for a goodly time, then strain it clear. This draught, drunk thrice a day, is a boon companion to the wounded, for it doth ease the fiery inflammation that plagues them and fosters a return of strength.

Furthermore, a most efficacious ointment can be crafted from the anguilingus. Let the leaves be finely chopped, then boiled in the rendered fat of beast or fowl. Once this mixture hath simmered, strain away the spent leaves, leaving behind a verdant salve. This ointment, most soothing to the touch, promotes the swift healing of wounds, earning it the esteemed title of "Green Oil of Lamus." Thus, the anguilingus plant proves itself a valuable ally in the face of injury, offering both internal and external solace.

Game Effect: Consuming an infusion of anguilingus allows a character to heal 1d3 hit points naturally per day of rest. Once per game day, a character can apply a prepared ointment of anguilingus to heal 1d2 hit points.
