Root Friend

Dwelling in subterranean burrows, the mossling has developed a keen affinity with the roots of forest plants.

Root question (Level 1): Once per day, the mossling can pose one question of a root about its surroundings. The root answers truthfully with 1d6 words.

Summon roots (Level 3): The mossling can summon edible roots to the surface once per day. 1d4 fresh rations are produced.

Root respite (Level 5): The mossling may shelter in the roots of a tree or other large plant once per day. The mossling is taken underground into the plant’s root system, where they may lie unnoticed for up to an hour.

Summon root thing (Level 7): The mossling can summon a monstrous root vegetable from the earth once per day. The creature arrives at the character’s location in 1d6 Rounds and obeys their commands for 1d6 Turns before fleeing into the undergrowth.
