Druid plants

This appears to be a druid camp. At least, there's a small tent and a lot of plants. Tent plus plants equals druid camp, right?

Most of the plants are in plastic or cheap terracotta pots. Some of them are in macrame baskets, hanging from poles that have been (barely) disguised with burlap. None of them seem particularly menacing -- until they start moving, waving their leaves and branches in the air and flapping vines and creepers at you.

If that sounds spooky, it isn't. The big electric fans are pretty obvious. The bad part is when your hay fever kicks in and you start sneezing uncontrollably.

It quickly becomes apparent, from the way your eyes are watering, that you've stumbled into the druid camp again. A tendril of poison ivy blows across your face, followed by a cloud of pollen. A real druid would just animate a tree to grow a scary face and punch you with its branches, this is way more insidious.

Uh-oh, you've (gesundheit) wan(gesundheit) wandered back into (gesundheit) the (gesundheit) druid camp(gesundheit)site. I'd offer you a handkerchief, but I'm just the narrator and don't have a physical presence. Gesundheit.

Oh jeez, it's the druid camp again. Just before your eyes swell up, you catch a glimpse of a stagehand emptying a sack labelled "POLLEN" everywhere.

Once again, you're in the druid camp. This time your eyes are stinging even more than before. Why does everything smell like onions?

...Those bastards!
