Gray Gardener Enforcer
CREATURE 17The Gray Gardener enforcer has a +2 circumstance bonus to Deception checks and saving throws to conceal their identity and a +2 circumstance bonus to their Deception DC against effects that ferret out information about the Gray Gardener's identity.
A Gray Gardener enforcer in a place of worship dedicated to a non-evil deity or on sacred ground, such as an area blessed by Anointed Ground, is Slowed 1.
The Gray Gardener enforcer spends 1 hour consuming 1 Bulk of raw meat to reverse their body's putrescence. For 1 hour, the Gray Gardener enforcer appears to be a pale, bloated human. They have an automatic result of 32 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a non-mortic human. While under the effects of Nourishing Feast, Rotting Flesh ceases to function.
Any creature that hits the Gray Gardener enforcer with an unarmed attack, tries to Grapple them, or otherwise touches the gurgist is covered with rotten flesh and putrid fluids. The creature must succeed at a DC 36 Fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure).
A creature with void healing draws health from void energy rather than vitality energy. It is damaged by vitality damage and is not healed by vitality healing effects. It does not take void damage, and it is healed by void effects that heal undead.
The Gray Gardener enforcer's spiked chain Strike deals 2d8 bleed, and they can use it to Grab up to two foes. The enforcer can still attack with their spiked chain if they Grab one creature, but not when they Grab two.
The Gray Gardener enforcer draws in a deep breath and holds it, temporarily suspending their biological processes and becoming undead. The Gray Gardener enforcer gains the undead trait and becomes immune to bleed, death effects, disease, Paralyzed, poison, and sleep. Any such effects the Gray Gardener is currently suffering from are suspended but take effect again once they take a breath. Death Gasp lasts as long as the Gray Gardener enforcer holds their breath.
Effect: Death Gasp
3d8+7 slashing, DC 38 basic Fortitude
The monster deals the listed amount of damage to any number of creatures Grabbed or Restrained by it. Each of those creatures can attempt a basic Fortitude save with the listed DC. A creature that fails this save falls Unconscious, and a creature that succeeds is then temporarily immune to falling unconscious from Greater Constrict for 1 minute.
The monster can instead use Grab and choose one creature it's grabbing or restraining with an appendage that has Grab to automatically extend that condition to the end of the monster's next turn.
