You sit next to the creature's massive body, trying to learn something from its life or its death.

You reach out as the flower grows brighter. The dust and mists swirl around it, gathering together into an almost physical object as you pluck it.

You found: flower of the dragon

Gather some blood

Normally, including with gloves:

You reach down to gather some of the blood, getting a fleck on your hand. It spreads in the course of moments, burning until there is nothing but blinding pain. You return to consciousness later, strangely uninjured but with the memories of pain still clinging to you.

The world seems clearer, bereft of the cloud of dust lingering at its edges.

Or, with gloves and a Myers sampling kit equipped:

You gather a flask of the pooling blood, thankful that none of the droplets burn through your top's weighty gloves. The fluid sputters and hisses in the flask.

You found: dragon blood

Leave it be
