OUTER WARD FIRST FLOOR 56C WITHERED TREE.

56C WITHERED TREE. This animated tree will throw rotten fruit at anyone who comes within twenty feet of its location. It has a sour and grumpy face.

Animated Tree (AC 4; MV 3"; HD 7; hp 30; #AT 1 throw or 1 fist; D Stinking fruit or 2d8; XP 465)

The effect of a hit with fruit is to double the chance of encountering wandering monsters and negate the chance of surprise. This effect will last until bathing. If the tree is itself attacked it can uproot itself and strike for 2d8 damage once per round.
