Deeper Underdark

Stee looks at Grin and says "You better watch out meowing Wreak might bite you."

Grin chuckles to himself. Well, friends - seems we’ve found some mushrooms. Lots of them - and here I was thinking I’m the fun guy…

He lets Havoc him forwards into the growth.

"lets be ready my friends. Can anyone tell what is moving around?" Stee will have an arrow nocked and ready. He will also look at Wreak and say "On guard Wreak."

"Can't see much ,but we may not be alone" Brewner takes a moment to focus on the sound trying to perceive its origin. Despite the luminosity of the fungi, it will also light a torch, if nothing interesting happens we will throw the torch some distance ahead of them (center)

Seeing the humans react threateningly, Grin realizes that they might be in danger. He pulls Havoc back toward the entrance and readies the crossbow.

Oliver is startled by Grin's meowing as well, but not as much as Ealdwig, so he laughs heartily with the rest to cover his own yelp.

With Brewner's words, Oliver keeps the smile and good humour there, but gets into a more alert disposition.

"Perhaps we could walk next to the wall to make sure no one can sneak behind our backs. Except a giant wall-crawling spider, of course, but what are the odds amirite?"

He grins as he approaches the wall.

"Besides, maybe I can climb a little and get a better view of what lies ahead."

Oliver uses the immovable rod and its side handles to help him climb the wall, and then looks around.

Oliver is able to climb up a good bit on the cavern wall-side, and sees a fairly impressive view. It looks like a fairly well developed fungal forest. The biggest "trees" are a good 20 feet tall, but most of the "shrubs" are no more than 10 feet tall, which is still taller than anyone in the party. Aside from that, there appear to be a wide range of smaller types that fill the smaller roles in the ecosystem. He does see evidence of movement of some "shrubs" towards the center of the forest, but can't make anything out.After checking with her holy symbol, Yoci indicates that the desire path is likely more left than right, though it appears they need to cross at least most of the cavern for where they need to go.

Oliver describes what he sees to his companions.

"Something appears to be moving among the smaller fungi, towards the center of the forest."

"Skirt to the left?" Stee asks the others.

Aye, that sounds like a good idea. And maybe we should try to keep quiet so as not to attract attention… Looking at you Ealdwig.

"Sounds like a good plan. Very well, make sure to keep your weapons ready, there may be many things hidden in this place" Brewner says as he start to move slowly following the left wall with his back turn to it. Warhammer ready if something approaches

You start moving along the wall indicated by Yoci and make good progress. You are successfully able to remain mostly quiet and your pets even seem to understand the gravity of the situation and seem well behaved and close to their new masters. The various fungi growth seems to have a narrow, but walkable border along the cavern wall. A couple of times they touch and you have to work through it, but nothing requires any hacking or struggles, so you remain quiet.

After about three quarters of the way around the wall to the far end, you thing you see the shaping of an exit relatively close. However, at the same time you finally hear movement coming from deeper towards the center of the cavern, and the noise seems to be heading toward you.

Stee will stop with Wreak and whisper to the others Get Yoci out. I will cover our back. If someone wants to lend a hand it would be welcomed. He look at Wreak On guerd boy! Stee will listen to see if this a sound he has heard in all his time training with his father.

Grin will move on to the exit to scope out an escape for them. Into his communicator, he thinks: I’ll find us an escape route. he levels his crossbow towards as he approaches the exit…

Brewner will nod to Stee, remaining silent and stands beside him to help hold the line
