Where is Bloodroot exactly?

Search the temple.

How are you supposed to deal with the traps in the temple? Only way I seem to be able to make it through is by chugging a healing potion while sprinting to the exit.

There's a second bloodroot in the cellar of the hut near the start.
Also, the best way I found to deal with the trap at the end of the temple was to pull a pair of levers on the pillars before stealing the idol.

I think you'll find that, if you wait long enough, the bloodroot will regrow like the flowers and mushrooms do.

There are three locations for Bloodroot: collapsed doorway in pool room of temple, ceiling of the cellar under the hut where you find your weapons, and a hole in the ceiling of the cave near the waterfall.
The idol can be got without any damage or alerting anyone - there are two levers on the sides of the pillars next to it which will stop the traps from firing, and you can use holy water on the floor sigil to prevent the skeleton dude spawning.

I haven't read any comments above as I don't want to spoil myself, but have others noticed the victrola in the entrance lobby of the thieves hideout? It's facing a hole in the wall and is playing
recorded undead noises to the outside world as an extra concealment decoy, what a classy touch that is.
This along with some other remarkable details like
uncovering thieves' zombie faces made this part of the mission my favourite one despite making my computer lag.
At first I thought I will not complete this one-
the enemies in the temple proved too much for me as I didn't have any potions. But I forced my self to visit the chamber again and this time I have barely managed to get out alive from the temple.. Missed
4 secrets and a roughly
800 loot. Well done for fantastic job (to the author!).

I´ve just replayed this mission (definitely my top favourite of the contest missions!). This time with all the secrets (thanks cheela! :)) and the 3 bonus objectives.
But I think I found a mistake in the german translation (not sure if it´s supposed to be):
For the wolf bomb according to the german translation you need holy water, bloodroot and a mine socket. But you also need to add a healing potion to this and the healing potion is missing in the german translation.

That has been fixed, but you would need to redownload the mission file.
I'm also looking into the bug with lockpicks not being able to be frobbed. It seems that a servant AI that is supposed to be in a blue room can somehow end up in the level proper - if he is then incapacitated, he can't do the conversation that gives you your lockpicks. If anyone is having this problem, please feel free to send me your savegame and I can do a temporary fix for now while I continue to investigate.

Finished! I somehow got all secrets and was missing over 700 loot, huh.
Fantastic stuff overall, makes me glad I didn't sleep on this contest. I think the other posts summed up the good points nicely. A couple of things:
- I had more FPS problems with this mission than any other ones, I think. The starting area and some other forest paths were the worst. Definitely playable, just choppy from time to time.
- The use key throws all the crafting plants from your inventory, while the drop key just drops one - took me a moment to notice that the machine ate all my shrooms instead of just one. Very minor point, but it's needlessly confusing.
