Defenses
Detection
“The perimeter is marked by a wall of obsidian-colored roots interwoven with pulsating, violet thorncaps. Above, rickety Mosswatch Huts sit nestled in the fungal canopy, partially hidden by bioluminescent mist. The ground is covered in a pale yellow fuzz that sticks to everything it touches.”
Standard Engagement
A creature entering the Fungal Snarebeds or moving within 5 feet of the Rootwall Palisade.
This hazard triggers as a reaction to movement within its area. The Snarebeds attempt to restrain the creature, while the Rootwall lashes out with thorns.
The Snarebeds replenish their spores every hour. The Rootwall Palisade heals 10 hit points per minute unless fire or necrotic damage is dealt to it.
The ground is difficult terrain. When a creature enters the snarebed or starts its turn there, it must succeed on a DC 16 Strength saving throw or be Restrained by adhesive slime. A creature can use its action to repeat the save.
If a creature starts its turn Restrained by the snarebeds, the Mosswatch Huts above release a concentrated puff of spores. The creature must succeed on a DC 14 Constitution saving throw or fall Unconscious for 1 minute or until it takes damage.
When a creature moves within 5 feet of the wall, the Rootwall Palisade makes a Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 10 ft., one target. Hit: 11 (2d10) piercing damage and the target is grappled (escape DC 15).
The Mosswatch Huts provide three-quarters cover to any creatures inside them and allow them to make ranged attacks at targets within the snarebeds without being seen.
Any creature that touches the Snarebeds or Rootwall sends a vibration through the fungal network, alerting all allied creatures within 300 feet of the intruder's exact position.
