An Interesting Question
Tut, with those rolls you really have no specific idea what the different colors do, as loti are considered artifact class flowers. However, you recall reading somewhere in a back issue of
Better Grito Homes and Gardens (a periodical of Greetles' that one of your PC friends had stuffed in their backpack) that black and white loti were colors of
life and death (in no particular order). Too bad you didn't quite get the specifics.
With your checks made, you've got the option of modifying your lotus die roll by 1 in either direction (remember this for the future if you encounter more loti). However, as you rolled a 1 (you can't subtract down to 0, so you stay at 1), that means keeping your 1 (white) or switching to a 2 (black).
So what will it be? White or black lotus?

Vrill actually stops and takes notice of this. "
Um..." he stammers, and that's right when the combat begins.

Sweet, sweet rhymes there, too.
