A cartoonish gnome in a lab coat and red hat holds a magnifying glass and book in a lush green forest.

The Petal Pathologist Core Idea: You're a gnome who believes that the health and state of plants can reveal all truths. You treat the crime scene not like a detective, but like a botanist examining a diseased garden. Name: Dr. Pippa Mossbottom (or Pipkin if you prefer a male name) Look & Vibe: Wears a slightly stained lab coat over earthy-toned clothes. Has a large magnifying glass hanging from a cord around their neck. Constantly has dirt under their fingernails. Instead of a notepad, they carry a sketchbook to draw suspicious-looking leaves or soil disturbances. They are meticulous, a bit clinical, and tend to smell everything. The Quirk: You relate everything back to plants. "The victim? Ah yes, a classic case of root rot, I'd say. The foundations were clearly weak." "His face has the pallor of a blighted turnip." When you see a clue, you might say, "Fascinating! The soil displacement here suggests a hasty transplanting." You are obsessed with the type of mud on people's boots. Is it loamy? Is it clay-based? Does it have traces of non-native pollen?! A Possible Secret: You were cultivating a rare, highly sensitive Moonpetal flower near the scene of the crime. You were so focused on its bloom that you might have missed crucial details, or maybe you saw something but are afraid that admitting you were there will get your precious flower confiscated. How to Play: Whenever you enter a new room, ask the Dungeon Master (DM) to describe the plants. Are they healthy? Drooping? See more
