Deadly Gardens
The origins of the phoenix lily are a mystery, but
their sudden appearance in the wild several decades
ago suggests that something other than natural
evolution. One popular rumor asserts that the plant
was created by a reclusive wizard with a keen interest
in botany, in an effort to deterr unwanted visitors to
his estates. If that is the case, the plant somehow
found a way to spread to the wild and can now be
found in many isolated woodland areas and swamps.
Phoenix lilies bloom year round and a single plant
normally bears 1d4+4 blossoms at any time. The
plants can replace lost or wilted flowers at a rate of
one every two days.
Phoenix lilies are territorial and will attack any
creature that they notice moving with 30 feet, with
the exception of other phoenix lilies. They are not
intelligent and their actions seem to be guided by
instinct or be some kind of programmed behavior.
Explorers have discovered that blossoms can be
harvested from living or recently deceased plants.
The blossoms normally die within a few days but if
preserved correctly they can be used in a number of
ways to enhance both arcane spells and alchemical
processes.
Phoenix Lily
This large flowering plant has numerous brilliant
orange-red, trumpet shaped blossoms. The faint smell
of smoke hangs in the air.

SPECIAL ABILITIES
Fiery Blossom (Su) Each phoenix lily bears 1d4+4
blossoms that it can use as a standard action to
produce a single scorching ray. After producing this
attack the blossom wilts and dies. The plant must wait
1d2 rounds before it can produce another scorching
ray and may only do so as long as it has living blossoms.
Fire Thrower (Ex) When a phoenix lily uses its
fiery blossom ability it does not provoke attacks
of opportunity for making ranged attacks when
threatened.
Volatile (Su) If the fire resistance of a phoenix lily is
exceeded, there is a chance the plant will erupt in a
fireball. The plant must succeed at a Fortitude save
where the DC is equal to the amount of fire damage
taken, after applying fire resistance. Otherwise the
plant erupts in a fireball centered on one corner of its
occupied square. The fireball deals 1d6 damage for
each living blossom on the plant and the Reflex save is
DC 16. This save is Constitution based. The phoenix lily
is included as a target of the fireball and afterwards all
remaining blossoms wilt and die.
