Chapter 4: Neverlight Grove

Dustin, as you inspect Stool and the others that had been caught in the spore blast, you recognize something strange on Stool. Where the spores landed, little black tendrils are creeping out slowly but noticeably. Likely he is infected with something! In a short motion, he scratches absentmindedly at his hip.

Georges begins helping you search the grounds only to spy a broken mushroom stalk which brings him to a total stop. His face turns up and he stares at a point far beyond any of you, not talking or moving. Just - staring.

A cursory inspection of the area, however, does reveal a stash of loot near to where the drow woman was interred. A suit of studded leather armor that looks exceptionally well constructed, as well as an exquisite shortsword. A decent sized bag accompanies it. Inside the bag, you find a pair of scrolls, 40 days worth of rations, and 320 silver pieces. The bag didn't appear to be large enough to hold all of it at a glance.

The two zombie mushroom things are wearing chain shirts and have poor looking shortswords.

Rasharoo enters the Garden carefully, looking at all of you.

Poor Yestabrod. This Great Seeder of theirs twisted Yestabrod's form horribly. I wish I knew..... his mental voice fades away as you hear noises coming from a cavern to the northeast of your current position.

As Cemos' golden energy washes over Stool, the absentminded scratching stops and the black web of mold recedes back until it disappears entirely.

I feel fine, now. I was extremely itchy before, almost like I was growing something. It's gone now, thank you Cemos. Stool thinks at you. Given your knowledge of your magic, you do think that the scroll of remove curse could equally work for someone under the effects of this madness, but only so long as they aren't too far gone to the effect.

Dustin, as you spend some time with the bag, you recall that bags of holding function as this sack does.

What is that sound Dustinfriend? The chanting? Do you hear it?
