Brumblebulb

Brumebulb is effectively a small, almost sour-tasting onion. It grows beneath the ground, and gives only a minute curl of pale foliage to announce its presence. The onion, however, provides a powerful benefit to those who find and consume such a thing: an instant exit from the Hedge. Eating the bulb is unpleasant, to say the least (it may require a Resolve + Composure roll to choke down the acidic, chewy sourness), but upon doing so a character’s very flesh begins turning to a drifting vapor. The body becomes all vapor and then, with a brief wind, is gone from the Hedge. The character reappears within a few miles of wherever the character entered the Thorns in the first place. Upon returning, the character vomits, suffering two bashing points of damage in the process (it’s a heaving, painful regurgitation).

Habitat

Brumebulb is found growing wild in the hedge. One must first succeed on a Wits + Investigation roll to even find brumebulb, and may suffer penalties to that roll because it so often grows beneath heavy grasses or tangles of briar (assume a –3 penalty in such an instance).

Growth & Cultivation

Growing the brumebulb outside of its natural occuring habitat of the Hedge is a slow process. Fertile and well-drained soil in shade is essential. An offering of glamour may speed along its growth but overall it takes at least 1 year without any addition of glamour.
