Yet another excerpt from Rodin Greenbeak's Compendium of Gloranthan Flora.
Safeleaf Plant
Herba defensor
One of the few elf bred plants I was able to gather and study was the Safeleaf Plant. After an unfortunate boating accident on the Aliss river one of my guides swung a deal with a local Feofaxian yellow elf. In return for a useless copper stirring rod we recieved 4 large leaves of the plant. Initial testing showed the leaves incredibly resistant to damage across their entire broad form. Further experimentation revealed they were able to resist both my Agimori guide's spear and even the acid from my toolkit.
The leaves also resisted all my best salad making techniques and in the end I was forced to boil them for several hours. Fortunately, it proved well worth it. The leaves proved tender and succulent, needing only the slightest addition of spices to make a perfect meal.
Gamemaster Notes
(1) The Safeleaf plant is specially bred by Pamaltelan elves to protect their other many important varieties from destruction by the hated Hoon and their acid drool. The Safeleaf plants are grown next to the plant to be protected and guided so that at least one large leaf is close enough to be swung over the other plant when Hoon are nearby.
