No, Tubora rolls an intellect roll to see and it is just rival tasks, no relation. +- We see flowers that are usually purple but these are white. The petals feel waxy and stiff, almost artificial. +- Tubora's intellect check succeeds and sees that the flowers are real, just weird. +- As she is looking at the flowers, a head begins to emerge from them. A man jumps out of the middle of the flowers. +- He is traveling between the purple flower bases using the tendrils. The center of the flowers are buttons. +- Travel has time between it but seems instantaneous.

She died. Strangers took her body from there. Wearing black robes, they left with her recently. +- Black robed members are part of "the Convergence." +- Body is 8 ft. tall, they dragged it out of town, leaving a trail behind to follow. +- Oveeryou is part cyborg. Tubora offers to try and heal his leg. She was not able to find anything or improve his leg.
