ASK THE MOONFLOWER. The area twenty feet around the Moonflower is
distorted by a hazy semi-opaque dome of shimmering light. When this
is breached, it will always be nightime within the dome.
The
Moonflower is a large (about eight foot high) white plant with a
yellow crescent shaped human-sized head instead of a flower at the
end of its stem. It has two large pale green leaves which take the
place of hands and arms, and with which it can use to manipulate
objects. The Moonflower prides itself on its knowledge and it will
answer any question put to it if the asker agrees to be asked a
question in return. The Moonflower will answer 1d4+1 questions per
visit before getting bored.
The
Moonflower is self-assured and egotistical. It has a vast knowledge
but no desire to share unless it can gain information in return. If
asked a question it will always give the best answer it can.
Sometimes this will be cryptic or partial if the Moonflower does not
know the answer. For example, if asked what the true name is of the
most powerful type VI demon, the Moonflower might answer "That
information can be found by tricking Wenzel the Arch-mage, who dwells
in the Lonely Tower near the realm of Ab-Thuth the Bile Dragon."
When
asking questions, the Moonflower usually starts out with something
simple, such as "What is your name?" Although the
Moonflower is true neutral it has a bit of a cruel streak and
sometimes asks personal questions that it suspects will cause
argument between party members if truths are exposed that might have
better been left hidden.
The

spells; MR 75%; XP -)
The
Moonflower has the following powers, usable at will: detect lie,
dispel magic, telepathy (as a demon), and know
alignment. It is immune to spells that affect animals, monsters,
or people, but can be affected by spells that target plants. If the
Moonflower is attacked it will scream for help. 1d3 rounds later
2d4+2 needlemen (70%) or 1d2 treants (30%) will arrive to fight for
it.
