False Appearance. While the Cherry bog remains motionless, it is indistinguishable from an average cherry tree. A successful DC 15 Investigation/nature check reveals the healing properties of the cherry tree. A successful DC 20 Investigation/nature reveals the true nature of the cherry bog.
Relinquished Cherry Tree. When the cherry blossom trap creature is killed, it releases its grasp on the cherry tree it was guarding. The players may then search the area and discover a random number of healing berries growing on the tree. Roll 2d10 to determine how many berries the party finds. Each berry can be consumed as a bonus action to restore 1d6 hit points.
Additionally, if a player makes a successful Nature or Arcana check (DC 15), they may be able to take the cherry tree with them. The tree can be transplanted and will continue to produce 1d2 healing berries once every long rest.
Engulf. Vines rapidly grow from the ground within a 10-foot radius. Each creature within the area must make a Strength or Dexterity saving throw (DC 17) or become grappled by the vines. A grappled creature can use its action to attempt to escape the grapple by repeating the saving throw. On a failed save, the vines climb higher up the creature's body, causing it to become restrained and begin to suffocate, taking 10 (2d6 + 3) bludgeoning damage per failure at the start of its turn. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the restrained condition on a successful save, but remaining grappled by the vines. If a grappled creature succeeds on the saving throw, it escapes the grapple and is no longer affected by the vines. It may not take this action until all creatures have escaped its grasp
Ensnare. When a creature makes a melee attack on the cherry bog, it may use its reaction to attempt to grapple the creature. The trap makes a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target creature's choice of Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If the trap succeeds, the creature becomes grappled
Description
The Cherry Blossom Trap appears to be a beautiful and delicate cherry blossom tree, with soft pink petals and delicate green leaves. However, it is actually a cunning and deadly predator, using its appearance to lure in unsuspecting prey. When triggered, the tree unleashes a network of thorny vines from the ground, quickly ensnaring any creature within range. The vines wrap tightly around the victim, slowly climbing higher up their body until they become restrained and begin to suffocate.
