A Gray Gardener enforcer in a place of worship dedicated to a non-evil deity or on sacred ground, such as an area blessed by Anointed Ground, is Slowed 1.

Effect The Gray Gardener enforcer takes 3d8 mental damage, and the saving throw is a success.

The Gray Gardener enforcer spends 1 hour consuming 1 Bulk of raw meat to reverse their body's putrescence. For 1 hour, the Gray Gardener enforcer appears to be a pale, bloated human. They have an automatic result of 32 on Deception checks and DCs to pass as a non-mortic human. While under the effects of Nourishing Feast, Rotting Flesh ceases to function.

Any creature that hits the Gray Gardener enforcer with an unarmed attack, tries to Grapple them, or otherwise touches the gurgist is covered with rotten flesh and putrid fluids. The creature must succeed at a DC 36 fortitude save or become Sickened 1 (Sickened 2 on a critical failure).

The Gray Gardener enforcer's spiked chain Strike deals 2d8 bleed, and they can use it to Grab up to two foes. The enforcer can still attack with their spiked chain if they Grab one creature, but not when they Grab two.

The Gray Gardener enforcer draws in a deep breath and holds it, temporarily suspending their biological processes and becoming undead. The Gray Gardener enforcer gains the undead trait and becomes immune to bleed, death effects, disease, Paralyzed, poison, and sleep. Any such effects the Gray Gardener is currently suffering from are suspended but take effect again once they take a breath. Death Gasp lasts as long as the Gray Gardener enforcer holds their breath.
