Old Thornbarker
An ancient, lore-hoarding tree-mind guards centuries of secrets behind cackling scamp attendants and a patient, crushing bough.
An ancient, hoarding tree-mind whose roots and boughs are crammed with lore, Old Thornbarker keeps a retinue of cackling scamps and guards his amassed knowledge with the patience of seasons.
In play

Abeyance Rift If Old Thornbarker dies unexpectedly before passing on their knowledge in a succession ritual, the amassed lore within his roots and boughs explodes out in a shock wave that deals 8d10 mental damage to creatures within 30 feet (DC 32 basic Will save) before dissipating; those who fail also fall prone.
