In the Roots

The party wakes in the inn of the Dueling Trunks. Before they embark on their investigation of the Myconid colony, Elora Nightingale provides them with some equipment, and insists that the Myconids are a peaceful people who mean no harm. The adventurers fight through the deadly vines and fungi of the forest before reaching the cave that is home to the Myconids. The party pushes into the cave and are greeted with violent images being projected into their minds. They fail in their stealthy approach, and are attacked by the fungal people. Our adventurers defeat and tie up the Myconids, before pressing further into the cave. The players descend a staircase of mushrooms to find themselves in a large room. The stairs however were no stairs at all, but a hulking fungal creature, who attacks the party. The heroes fight back, and Alice reveals her true form of Myria, surprising everyone. Blomf finishes off the massive mushroom. In the cave Cassia and Damien find a strange statue of the founder of Opaz, Elips Ornith. The statue bears a cape and necklace that the party takes with them before leaving. As everyone leaves the colony, they find the tied up Myconids now dead, presumably perishing along with their leader.
