Episode 2: Fun with Fungus
Adventure Recap:
Before beginning their search for the goblin children, our heroes seek out the advice of a wise old woman in the village. On the way there, Gerrig accidentally reveals a secret family relationship. The old woman imparts some very....helpful information upon them. Tort tries to prank the old woman, and is unsuccessful. The heroes head off into the woods, relying on Tort's tracking skills to find the children. Tort and Lenny hear something following them, and Lenny calls out at it. An eccentric old man named Garthok bursts forth from the bushes. Garthok has been gathering mushrooms in the forest, and is carrying them in a pot. Gerrig manages to sneak multiple mushrooms from the man's pot, including the only yellow mushroom in the whole pot. Lenny asks if Garthok had seen the children. However, Garthok will only tell them where the children went if they bring him some mushrooms. The heroes agree and head east in search of the cave. Upon entering the cave, the heroes are engulfed in darkness.
The heroes begin searching for the mushrooms by torchlight. During this process, a group of pale fleshy fungal creatures come running at them. The heroes manage to fight them off, and Tort feels conflicted about killing the creatures. Unaware of this, Lenny squeezes the creature's juices into a potion bottle.
The heroes find a crack in the back wall of the cave. Tort pokes her head into the crack and sees a faint blue glow in the back of the cave.
