Purloined Plants
The party ventured out to the farmlands east of Hung, and met a red Dragonborn named Farmer Muckborn. He explains that many of his recently planted crops have gone missing and wants someone to recover them if possible and/or bring them proof of what or who is taking them.
During their investigation, the party was introduced to Muckborn's Senior Farmhand, a terse green dragonborn named Aedira, who had little information to offer, but allowed the party to look at the work schedule. The party found that plants seemed to go missing more often on days when dragonborn or orcs were scheduled to work. Upon inspecting the field, they found that not only had many plants been carelessly ripped up, but there seemed something off about the soil into which they'd been planted. Theodora noticed the soil smelled acrid and looked too dark, while Milo sensed some kind of magic in it.
Soon, they found a small footpath leading into the nearby woods, and followed it. As they did, the sense of magical presence grew more intense, and Milo realized it some similar to dragonborn magic.
Not far down the path, the party was attacked by sentient plants! A pumpkin became had become a huge mass of strangling vines, a pineapple became a needling terror, and even a sheaf of wheat had grown hostile - if less effective in its attacks. But the party defeated their foes and continued down the path.
