Growmaster Brambledu

At a glance

Brambledu is the elderly halfling Growmaster responsible for the Crystal Gardens.

Works from a shed behind the Gardens.
Is fiercely protective of the plants and became furious when Rage hacked apart a blackened rosebush.
Said the rot is worst in the Spring and Winter Gardens.
Considered the oldest and healthiest Arboretum relatively untouched, though corruption and hostile creatures were found there.
Spoke confusedly about the druids, as though their departure were both recent and something that had always been discussed.
Claimed that a “nice grower” donated the alien creature slain by the party.
Confirmed that the gift was soil from Lamordia, a frozen realm where the dead are made rather than raised.
Considered Wick and Fennic Merrydo to be good men and had never tried their new Screaming Cheese.
Rewarded Rage, Ignatius, and Carver with three different magical plants.

Session 2: Nearly fought Rage over a rosebush, guided the party into the Gardens, and explained the origin of the alien creature.
Session 3: Thanked the party, discussed the Lamordian soil, and distributed botanical rewards.
