Description
This is a fluid, quasi-plant. The exterior has the appearance and texture of firm sand except for the center. The center appears a shallow water hole. When prey reaches the center (tactile sense), the quickpatch will roll up about its victim. It does acid damage at 1d4 hit points per round. In addition, the victim will suffocate after 1d6+1 rounds. An strength of 18 or greater is required to pull loose of the quickpatch. To do this a successful bend bars roll must be made.
