Charm of Plant Command

The Charm of Plant Command is a magical item used to communicate with plants.

Description
The Charm is a leather choker-like necklace worn around the neck, with a fist-sized bundle of dried herbs or roots bound to it with silver thread. It is typically worn around the neck or attached to a belt. When attuned to the item, the user can cast Speak with Plants three times a day and plants can communicate back to the user. The user has advantage on charisma checks to influence plants' behavior, demeanor, and attitude.

Sheila Bobsnopper was wearing the charm when Caduceus went to her shop, Seafloor's Bounty in Nicodranas. He persuaded her to sell it to him along with several other items after offering her cash and some of the pink lichen that grows on him.

Caduceus offered the charm to Jester since he wasn't using it. She used it to ask the trees to move their branches out of the way to make the party's passage easier.

Jester used the Charm to ask a tree near the Ruins what had happened to cause their unhealthy appearance. The tree didn't know, but said it had been a long time.

When the Mighty Nein found that Mollymauk's grave was empty, Jester used the Charm to ask a nearby patch of crabgrass about what had happened and how long ago. In its sudden sapience, it asked Jester to give it a name ("Henry Crabgrass") and it told the Nein that about fifty days prior, a small group of people came and dug up the body. Henry also said that there was "a lot of chanting" immediately afterward, but did not know what language it was because Henry does not know any languages.

While traversing the underground arboretum of A2, Jester used the Charm to better convey Caduceus' offer of help to the twisted, broken trees that grew in the lightless chamber. Upon reaching out, the tree emanated nothing but malevolent hunger and desperation. The feeling of drawing back from the tree's consciousness was like "pulling her hand back from a hole filled with insects."
