Young Whispy trotted into the Seagrass Fields behind Owlstar and Adderstrike, beaming with excitement. She loved coming here now, it represented the memory of her coming here with Berryshine! She was surprised by Adderstrike's playful nudge, blinking in a moment of confusion. But she smiled, giggling softly at the tease. "Of course." She purred in her soft, hushed voice. But in truth, she wasn't worried. Even with the fog that was rolled in, she knew that ghosts were not something to fear. Well...not the ghosts - or rather, spirits - that would be found here.

Coltsfoot and thyme. She dipped her head as both Owlstar and Adderstrike went their own way, and she decided to set to work looking for the herbs Berryshine had shown them before their departure. Leaves mostly, but also the flowers if possible. And leave the roots. She recalled Berryshine's instructions, the scent of the herbs. But that wouldn't do her much good right now... When she tried to get a whiff, she only sneezed. She'd have to do this by sight.

She bent her head, looking closely for the yellow flowers of the coltsfoot herb. Whispy knew she'd have to be mindful that it looked similar to dandelion flowers, the leaves and center of the flowers looked different.

She found some yellow flowers alright, but closer inspection showed they were dandelions. Whispy shook her head, not the right herb this time.

There! She purred as she found a nice little grouping of coltsfoot flowers growing. She bit off a few of the leaves and blooms, leaving the stems and roots of the plants in tact.

+3 coltsfoot

Picking up her precious cargo, she turned her attention to the next herb: thyme. She made a mental note to ask Berryshine what these herbs were used for later. She used the flower heads themselves for poultices, but what for? And what were the leaves good for? She carried her coltsfoot carefully while she searched for the thyme, not wanting to accidentally bite into one and find out.

Hmmm...she found a bushy looking thing that could have been thyme...but no. The shapes of the leaves weren't quite right, and Whispy would rather not risk it. She trusted her instincts on this one and kept looking, for all she knew this was some wild weed that did nothing. Or possibly even toxic.

-d20: rolled 15-

She spotted something that looked like the herb Berryshine showed them before they left. She set down the coltsfoot and picked a couple leaves from the thyme plant, there weren't any blooms on this bush so she left it mostly alone.

+2 thyme

Whispy collected her cargo and returned to where she left Owlstar and Adderstrike, sitting and waiting patiently for the other two to come back.

total: +3 coltsfoot, +2 thyme
