DISCOLIQUID 1956 Share Posted June 3, 2020 PETRICAN Sign(s): Earth Symbol(s): Silence x 3 Blindness x 3 Appearance: Petrican is series of eye-sized black orbs connected by a web of dark blue tendrils. (Blue Glazed Terracotta) Location: Petrican grows just underneath and adjacent the surface of clay, spreading through clay blocks that are not exposed to sunlight. Petrican can grow on the side of clay formations as well, and flourishes wherever clay and darkness meet. Harvesting: Finding Petrican is difficult, as any loud noise or light will cause the plant to shrink back into the clay through a flexing of the blue tendrils inwards. Only complete darkness and near silence will cause the herb to relax and be visible above ground. To harvest Petrican, simply excavate enough of the orbs and web with a trowel to gain an exposed handhold to rip the herb out of the clay substrate. Once Petrican is unearthed, the blue tendrils shrink into the black orbs, giving the herb the impression of very large caviar. Petrican can be farmed, requiring a completely dark set of 3x3 clay blocks with a source-herb (blue glazed terracotta) in the center. This type of dark-garden would allow for one unit of Petrican to be harvested every 3 OOC days from one of the eight adjacent blocks to the source-herb. Raw Effect(s): Harvested Petrican can be dried in sunlight to drain the herb of the water within, leaving you with rigid, empty orbs near the size of eyeballs. These can be used as decoration or eaten as a hearty snack. Redlines: Any light such as a torch, the indirect light from a cave mouth, to even the light from a smoking pipe will cause Petrican to enter its protective mode, whereby it retreats and is undetectable underneath a clay formation. Any noise louder than a whisper will also alert the herb, so care must be taken in the scouting process to not speak, bump into walls, or rattle tools. This makes locating and approaching it incredibly difficult, so the ability to see in the dark is a pre-requisite for harvesting the herb. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
