Routine (3 actions) The breathless thickets patch attempts to Strike a creature in its reach. It then uses Suffocate if it has any creature grabbed; otherwise, it continues to Strike.

Melee [one-action] sinewy leaves +20 (reach 10 feet) Effect branch grab
Branch Grab If the breathless thicket hits a creature with its leaves, that creature becomes grabbed by the thicket. Unlike with a normal Grab, the creature isn't immobilized, but it can't move beyond the reach of the thicket's leaves. A creature can sever a branch by Striking against AC 18 and dealing at least 12 slashing damage. A branch doesn't have the thicket's Hardness, and damaging it doesn't deal damage to the thicket. The DC to Escape a branch is 26.
Suffocate [two-actions] (incapacitation, nonlethal) Requirements The breathless thicket has grabbed one or more creatures that breathe; Effect The dead flowers of the breathless thicket begin pulling oxygen from its victims' lungs. Each creature grabbed by the breathless thicket takes 4d6 nonlethal bludgeoning damage and must attempt a DC 26 Fortitude save.<%CRIT.EFFECT#1941%%>
Reset The thicket goes back into hibernation 1 round after there are no more targets to Strike in its reach. It then remains dormant for 24 hours.
