Flower Protects

A Where the Watermint Grows Adventure

A woman is gone, and her son wants to know why.

Three weeks back, Ellen Reed crossed into Greywick Fen and asked Fiona, the Warden, to safeguard a family lullaby by Collecting it before she died. Fiona agreed. Ellen's peace came at the cost of her son's, and now Corwin has come home to a mother who can no longer tell him the why of her actions.

Where do you draw the line between mercy and theft?

What It Is

A direct sequel to Where the Watermint Grows that also stands alone. A pay-what-you-want, 5.5e-compatible one-shot for 3–5 players at level 3, running 2.75–3.75 hours.

The Premise

Fiona Collected something from Ellen Reed, and it cost her son peace of mind. Getting it back means crossing a kelpie and facing another Warden of the Amaranth Accord.

The Tone

Fey-adjacent, set in the coastal marshes. Combat is minimal here, similar to Watermint.

The Format

A pay-what-you-want PDF, coming soon to itch.io.

“The fen doesn't like the color. They consider it a form of insurance, but insurance against what? They couldn't tell you.” · Sedgewick, on the cardinal flower
