leaf Strike, but it can’t use Improved Grab. It deals no
damage on a critical failure. This counts toward the flytrap’s
multiple attack penalty as a number of attacks equal to the
number of leaves the flytrap has.
Hungry Flurry [two-actions] The flytrap makes two leaf Strikes at a

Adventure Summary
On the trail of the legends of the famous early Pathfinder Selmius Foster, you traveled to the place he died—the isolated island of Bhopan.
After surviving an onslaught from the island’s fey, you found a magically advanced society whose people have deep connections to the
fey. The king of Bhopan invited you to participate in a grand masquerade. The royal steward, Lelzeshin, gave you a chance what Foster
sought by entering the royal vaults. After speaking to him, you (▫ worked with him to break into the vaults / ▫ refused his suggestion,
and instead wound up accompanying guards to the vault’s defense after Lelzehin broke in on his own.) Ultimately, you battled Lelzehin
over control of a primal artifact, the Perennial Crown. As soon as the artifact was in your hands, the vault collapsed, trapping you inside.
The story continues in Pathfinder Society Scenario #1–17: The Perennial Crown Part 2: The Thorned Monarch.
