A tethering point for herbaceous herd animals...

Lair of the Vegetable Lamb Vegetable (#13/30, #317/365)

"This sandy-floored cave has a wide entrance through which sunlight streams, and several other tunnels venturing deeper into the mountain. In the center of the cave is a strange plant, a large-leaved bushy creeper, with a series of thick vines erupted from a central stem. Each vine ends in a lamb, a woolly sheep that eyes you nervously while gnawing on moss and lichen, and occasionally going 'Baaa?'."

Contents: This is the central part and lair of F'Sal's Vegetable Lamb Vegetable, where the sheep retreat at night to sleep, and new lambs are born from large dark green gourds growing at the end of some of the shorter vines.

The plant itself is immobile, the sheep simply wander about as far as their tethers will allow. They will defend themselves if they must, but prefer not to fight. Destroying the central plant kills all the sheep.

Gourds can be harvested from the plant if a successful Herb Lore Special Skill roll is made.

Stats: 

2-12 VEGETABLE LAMBS, SKILL 4 STAMINA 4, Butt (1 damage).

1 VEGETABLE LAMB VEGETABLE, SKILL 0 STAMINA 10, Light Armour.

2-7 harvestable Lamb Gourds can be taken from the plant. When thrown they will explode into a Vegetable Lamb on impact, which, although not particularly terrifying or lethal, may prove to have distracting capabilities.
