Colossal Flower
There is a colossal flower growing atop a mountain of bones.
As its color-shifting petals pulsate, you sense there is a Powerful Cluster of Pollen in the center but the undulating petals are razor sharp and unpredictable.
You could grab some of the golden nectar, but reaching the prize in the center is so tempting...

You push past a layer of razor-sharp petals, they're coated with a substance that makes your skin tingle. This seems to numb the pain?

Your whole body is numb and messed up from the toxins, barbs, and leaves.
Enough is enough.

Which option to take
135 Gold for 11 HP is a shop relic's price for less than a rest site's heal, and Pollinous Core for 18 HP is a fine deck-neutral relic if you sit above 40 HP. Take the 35 Gold only if an elite is next and you are already hurt.
