Thorn-Trap Greenhouse Chest

An impossibly well-preserved wooden chest in the Old Maker Greenhouse Near Sajra's Lair, holding magical seeds that the crinwin haven't been able to crack. The clasp is trapped.

Presented as a detailed-description hazard — the GM thought through how the trap actually works in advance, because traps invented on the spot tend to fall apart under scrutiny.

• Two particular knots in the wood must be pressed before the clasp is disturbed
• Otherwise a thorn shoots from the clasp and pricks the handler
• The thorn carries a lethal poison: d10 damage, ignores armor, will quickly necrotize flesh and stop a heart if untreated

A dead crinwin lies nearby with a withered, blackened hand. It tried.

The poison is meant to kill. Telegraph it (the dead crinwin, the knots, the impossibly preserved wood). On a Defy Danger or Burgle 6-, choose: jump to the poisoning, or call out the knots and offer riches at a price.
