For the first time, the unlikely group of performers and support workers gets to see how the threat operates in truth. Giggles flings a dagger, and the gourd turns towards him. Between the impact of the dagger and Tessara's attack, the plant belches forth a thick glob of pollen-y goop. It streaks towards Giggles, with bizarrely accurate targeting. It splatters all over the Gnome's face (Giggles takes 6 damage). As Vorgrok and Keshkaru experienced, Giggles finds motes and phantom images flickering about in his peripheral vision. With an effort of will, he focuses and dispels the illusions.

In the same heartbeat, Tessara bludgeons the now-damaged plant with a few flaming logs. Even as they further clear the air of its obscuring spores, they dislodge the gourd. It falls to the floor of the wagon with a squish, and nothing moves inside the wagon.
End of combat.

As the seconds pass, the remaining pollen gently wisps into the evening air, dissipating harmlessly once it exceeds the confines of the wagon. You begin to investigate, taking enough time to be sure you're not overlooking something important. The most noteworthy thing is how well-organized his wagon remains. Myron must have been killed outside the wagon, and his belongings weren't even ransacked. In a small (unlocked) chest beside his simple cot, you find a lesser bravo's brew in a crystal vial and a bearskin hat marked with a golden leaf. An everburning torch is mounted on the wall, bearing an inscription "See what you want to see" on the handle. Finally, pinned across most of one wall is a cape once worn by a famous animal trainer named the Great Fortunato. He was a friend of Myron's before he was robbed and killed several months ago. Ultimately, the only noteworthy clue is perhaps the presence and nature of the trap left by your unknown adversary.
