Re: Drew Character Creation
You've explored many lands and come across many strange wonders, but only one if them has proven to be as useful and as mysterious as the Riverreed Ewer. The many who sold it to you claimed it was found near the bodies of 5 travelers. Each of them and the surrounding plants had been desiccated to nearly the point of dust. One of the travelers had a handful of pearls clutched in the dusty remains of his hand.
Over time you have learned that despite being technically edible and looking somewhat like a fruit or vegetable, this strangely colored plant doesn't taste very nice. Besides which, it often retains toxins and impurities within it that, while no match for the iron constitution of a dwarf, can be harmful if imbibed. It does however serve another, equally useful purpose – that of a rainwater tank. This curious plant sucks moisture and condensation from the air and stores them internally whereupon they can be siphoned and drank later. The Riverreed Ewer appears to be one-of-a-kind since no other similar plant has ever been discovered.
Occasionally you even find a pearl lying on the ground near the plant when you break camp. You've yet to discern any pattern to the appearance of these pearls or how they could have even arrived.
