Deeper Underdark

Quietly to Yoci, common let's go, as he quickly moves her toward the exit.

I will stash my bow and pull my sword.

Bat in hand, Oliver starts to move with Yoci and Ealdwig, who are following Grin's escape route. Just before splitting, he speaks to Stee and Brewner's group.

"When you make contact, let us know if you need some shots to cover your backs. Or fire. Fire's nice."

Oliver, Grin, Ealdwig, and Yoci head for what appears to be the exit, while Brewner and Stee slow down to serve as the screen. Each runs into something slightly different!

Oliver, Grin, Ealdwig, and Yoci find the exit blocked by a patch of weird fungi that are purple, roughly shaped like a mushroom, but have several lashing tendrils each. They aren't moving, but there are six of them and they are blocking the exit you want to use.


On the other hand, Brewner and Stee face a different threat. These are amulatory fungi shaped kind like an upside-down bell. These also have long, whip-like tendrils. Stee did hear them, but they did not sound like anything he has ever heard of before. And two of them are moving straight toward Brewner and Stee. In the distance, it sounds like there is other movement, too, but it will be a handful of minutes before they can arrive.

"Dammit! This place is a deathtrap" Brewner says clearly irritated, gripping his Warhammer tighter

"Here we go"

Stee will think into his communicatorOliver do fungi like fire

Overhearing Brewner’s "deathtrap" comment and Stee’s "fire" comment, Grin throws his only flask of lamp oil onto the area around the right side of the exit - he wants to clear the vroom-shrooms from one side so the group can escape with minimum effort.

someone light this on fire! he points at the area he threw the flask at.

Brewner and Stee win initiative unambiguously! You can go ahead and make their Actions for the first round whenever you choose.

I will pull my lasso off my hip and try to lasso one of the fungi then pull it tight.

Gazing at Grin's freshly thrown oil flasl, Oliver answers into the communicator.
"I'll get an answer to that in a moment, Stee!"

And with this, he bats blazing rocks into the oil.

Brewner moves towards the green fungi not bound by Stee and attack him

Ealdwig starts to say, should we... when Grin throws the oil and Oliver lights it on fire, guess not. Ealdwig pulls out his acrobats pole, trying to keep some distance between him and the fire. He holds the end, uses the command word and thrusts it straight out towards the creature, aiming where a face might be.

Stee successfully binds one of the Bell Fungi, preventing it from using its tendrils to attack. Instead, it tries to free itself and uses a spore attack. From the top opening it spews out a cloud of fungal spores. It fails to free itself and its Spore Attack fails. (The Spore Attack rolls 1d6 against each opponent in range to force Disadvantage. "Sport Attack" was the Spore Attack against Stee. Both attacks failed.)

Brewner successfully attacks the other Bell Fungus, seriously wounding it. In responds this Fungus whips at Brewner with two tendril attacks. Both hits strike true, each damaging Brewner as a result! (-2 HP total)

At the passageway entrance, the others are tangling with the Purple Mushrooms. The Mushrooms are arranged in a patch, so not all of them can reach you from their present position. However, you see them start to move towards you! The throw oil successfully splashes on four of them, and when ignited each take a point of damage, looking a bit singed.

Oliver can't move forward toward the exit, as the Purple Mushrooms are in the way. I am going to assume the second roll was just an attack at the Mushroom Ealdwig is facing. Which conveniently hits! This leaves this particular Mushroom looking particularly wilted. Ealdwig then sticks his pole in the Mushrooms top, completely deflating it. (It's dead now.)

Grinfletch uses Havoc to balance his crossbow as he takes aim at a fungus bebe closest to the side that they’re clearing away with fire.

Havoc says: Meow

Grin looks at Havoc, bewilderment spreading across his face.

After taking out the one ugly purple mushroom, Ealdwig plants his pole and tries to vault the remaining group of fungi. Allowing him to attack from their rear.
