The new owners of this building have hired you to remove the dangerous plants within by whatever means necessary. The last owner was a master alchemist and since he died no-one can enter safely.
When you arrive a thin man with spectacles is trying to climb the fence. He falls upon noticing you but declares that he wasn’t trying to sneak in. Then he sighs and admits that he used to be the old alchemist’s assistant. He hasn’t been allowed inside since the man passed, but after he learned the new owners want the plants destroyed he’s determined to save one of each species.
WHAT’S HAPPENING? The assistant was only allowed to help prepare the potions, and needs his master’s diary to learn how to safely repot the plants. If you help, he’ll give you free potions every blue moon at his shop. The more plants you save, the more different potions he can make.
The diary is located in his master’s office and explains how to handle five of the plant species. The first has prickly yellow-red flowers and needs to be sung to sleep with orcish throat chanting before it can be repotted. If you fail, it and the others of its species will emit a dangerous high-pitched screech.
The second is a green, leafy vine with small yellow blossoms. To replant it, you need to assert your dominance by winning a wrestling match with it. If you succeed, it will allow you—and only you—to handle and repot it. If you fail, the vines will attempt to strangle you to death.
The third is located in the pond. It is capable of walking from swamp to swamp, and thus can repot itself—but you’ll need to talk to it seductively to convince it to move. If you fail, it and its sister plants will shoot seeds at you which will embed themselves and cause an itchy rash.
The fourth is a small tree with pods of large, red seeds. It can’t be moved without dying, but you can take its seeds by dealing precise fire damage. This causes them to open up into small sprite-shapes with cries of “yippee,” “yay,” and “wooo” as they spiral down to plant themselves in nearby soil. However, if you use too much fire the tree will explode and shoot shrapnel from the pods.
The last plant has a large blue flower and needs to be scared enough to faint, but is only afraid of Lizardfolk. The alchemist left a mask of one in the storage shed, which you can wear before surprising it. If you fail, the plant will emit pollen causing uncontrollable, painfully breathtaking laughter.

LUKE: The founder of Seafoot Games, Luke's been making maps and RPG games since he was a child, and spent over a decade creating his own game systems from scratch to play with his brothers. That was before he discovered other TTRPGs existed. Now, he paints the realistic grimdark fantasy battlemaps we're known for, helps write adventures as needed, and spends his free time printing and painting 3D minis, as well as working on his forever in-development TTRPG system.
BEB: Luke's wife, Beb's been writing, painting, and graphically designing things her whole life. She published her first book when she was 20, alongside a handful of sci-fi short stories, and was responsible for writing almost all of our adventures until mid 2022 when Steve joined the team. Now she mostly creates the outlines for the adventurer's guides with Luke, graphically designs documents, handles the bookkeeping (or as she likes to call it, bureaucrat wrangling), and manages the website—but she is slowly delegating these responsibilities, so she can focus on raising her and Luke's beautiful son.

Ran this as an introduction for one of my players to PbtA – Root the RPG system, just to help settle into their character and familiarize purselves with the mechanics. Turned out to be a great tutorial and we actually ended up being able to apply quite a few of the mechanics to just what was written here. Read it for the first time as we went and it was so easy to use. I kept expecting I would have to gloss over some detail because it wouldn’t apply to my game or the system but it was perfect. Thank you
Thank you so much, that is such heartwarming feedback to receive! I’m so glad you and your players had such a lovely time and can recommend Luke and I’s one-shot, and thank you for letting us know about it – it really helps motivate us to keep going <3
