William decides to let another round go before moving in on the last Rat Standing,( which is scheduled to appear on TV next season) and do a quick rat dispatch...

Thank you kindly

They are a near-limitless supply of spores as far as you know.

The text of the updates should be taken as canon. Based on those, you should be able to figure out what's going on.

► Show Spoiler

Righteous One attempts to shake his rope free of the mushroom. He is successful, but also gives the mushroom a violent shake in the process and a whole load of sparkling little spores puff out of the top of the mushroom. The closest green guy to the mushroom clutches his face while his two companions hurry away.

Forges feels vindicated in his choice to not use the rope, carefully climbs off the platform and carefully hops across to the other side of the pool without incident. He crawls to avoid the spore cloud, but he'd better hurry up because they're starting to fall... The green guy finally succumbs to the effects of the spores as well and topples over onto the ground, snoring loudly. Unfortunately, he bounces off the second mushroom on the way down which sends up a whole new cloud of spores! The other green guys hiss angrily and leave.

Drinks jabs himself with his pirate hook to stay awake and makes a dash through the spores. He feels oddly light as he charges through the mushrooms, but manages to get to the other side without collapsing.

Forges stands up, takes a step forward and falls straight back down again, fast asleep.

William heads bravely back into the spore-zone and manages to drag Forges to safety without touching any of the mushrooms or falling asleep. Now that he's out of the spore-cloud, he starts to wake up and will be able to act again next turn.

Drinks drags the green guy out of the cloud of spores (thankfully without bumping any of the mushrooms), and he begins to wake up.

William retreats left and throws his cloak over the closest mushroom. It judders at the contact and releases another cloud of spores, which all get caught in the cloak. He now has Mystery Mushroom Spores.

Forges dives out of the rat-pile as William arrives with a cloak full of spores which he shakes out over the creatures. The effect is instantaneous, and the rats begin to attack at random! As one of the small rats dies, Forges drinks his health-increasing potion which brings him to 4/6HP.

Drinks loots the green guy's corpse and finds that he is carrying four small pouches. One contains a few pinches of pale yellow mushroom spores, and three are empty.

Righteous uses his razor to carefully scrape some sleep spores out of the nearest mushroom and into the chest. They are a pale blue colour.

(i'll let others make their own extrapolations in case I missed something)Based on what I found :
First mushroom = pale blue spores = sleep effect (seem to lose effect quickly when outside of the cloud)
second mushroom = unknown spores = unknown effect
Third mushroom = unknown spores = chaotic rage/confusion effect?

One of them produces yellow spores.

"These pouches might help us sort the spores"
Drinks hands over the 4 pouches to Righteous and help him harvest more spores from the mushrooms.

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 5:35 am**

Whispering under his breath "ooooo is that a giant?" Forges lies down and hopes they didn't notice him. He then tries to listen in and see if they are saying anything.

He also look across the gap in the scenery and debates if he did a little run up if he could make it to the other side.

ooc: almost forgot to post...,

Turn 12

Righteous helpsWalks up to the lower rung of the ladder and she hauls herself up to retrieve the arrow. She reties the rope onto the lower rung of the ladder.

William decides to leave the rats alone for another turn.

"These pouches might help us sort the spores"

Drinks heads over to help Righteous with the spore-collecting next turn, but will need to identify what tools he's going to use to do it.

"ooooo is that a giant?"

Forges lies down and tries to overhear what is going on with the green folk, but they seem to be speaking some weird language he can't understand. The jump doesn't look impossible, but it would be a very tough jump.

Righteous One will continue harvesting spores covering his face with his cloak. This time he will scrape from the third mushroom into an empty pouch using his razor.

@kida while I appreciate you handing over the pouches, I'd feel kinda greedy taking them all. If you don't want them I'll gladly accept them. Otherwise 2 of them + the chest will let me harvest from all 3 mushrooms which is enough for me.

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 5:17 pm**

William looks about...'Is anyone going to help me with the remaining two rats?'

@ Chuck...ah, the chest seems a bit big for mushroom spores versus other future uses...could we transfer them to one of the small pouches instead?

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 6:28 pm**

@Quarg My plan was to take a bunch of spores back to the kitchen (now with a rat chef) to see if they could be transformed into a more usable form like something to coat a weapon in or throw-able vials. Or perhaps in a recipe for something more beneficial. So if I could fill a whole chest (or as much as Thinks let me) then I could get a few batches. Though if you have some idea for the chest then I guess we can transfer them. First though I'm trying to find out a bit about each.

@ Chuck Then may I suggest we hold off gathering a huge supply of mushroom spores until the end of this mission? Thinks typically does not do the 'Universe Explodes' like Badge....

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 7:50 pm**

I'm not gonna do a full gathering now but I am going to at least find out a little more about them first.

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:22 pm**

I will come back down if it is decided there will be a rat fight. but looks like your leaning towards experimenting now. All we need to know is what one extra mushroom does (which i hope is not a boost). If we all took on the rats we should be able to take them all out.

Posted: **Mon Oct 20, 2014 8:30 pm**

"I'll help with the rats"
Drinks attack the rats.

@chuck - you can keep the pouches.

Badge exploded the universe?! Well that sounds like fun! (I assume you mean that my dungeons aren't usually destroyed /become inaccessible after a particular quest? I won't say that's always going to be true, but I'll certainly leave you hints if it is

)

@ GM: is the rope long enough that Walks can let the end of it (after the secure knot) hang down from the lowest ladder rung, so we can get up there without needing someone else's help?

If so, Walks will do that, else she'll ask for another rope from Right and tie that NOT to the lowest rung, but the next higher one. (So we don't put too much strain one one rung.) In any case she makes sure the rope dangles nicely down to the goblins without sending up another cloud of spores, before climbing up to peek over the ledge. She remains watchful of the centipede, and if it becomes interested in her/aggressive, retreat back down. If it doesn't, Walks will examine it, the black and gray stuff behind her and the blue stuff in the ceiling of the corridor from where she is.

William will attack the rats with Drinks...

Nope. What you see is what you get in this case.

Posted: **Tue Oct 21, 2014 6:55 am**

Yeah, Walks can take a rope from me. Since you're just tying it take the one without the hook. I figure we might be able to use that one as a grappling hook over by where forges is.

Posted: **Tue Oct 21, 2014 4:47 pm**

ok looks like spore experiment later, forges will join the others in the rat attack. I we aim for the already injured one big one and one small one (with overflow onto the other small one) I thinks that's our best bet for taking them out.

Posted: **Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:26 am**

Hey folks, I'm unexpectedly going out this eve, so the updates will be coming tomorrow and Saturday instead of wed & fri. Hope that's ok and sorry for the short delay.

Sorry but when you said "I hope that's O.K." just made me want to laugh...

And wait shouldn't your defense be this month?

Posted: **Wed Oct 22, 2014 8:53 am**

No, it's on the 2nd December - everyone got caught up in term time teaching I think so there's a big delay on when I do the viva. Not complaining too much, but I've got plenty of time to wait yet

Turn 13

Righteous passes his rope to Walks moves over to the right-hand mushroom and attempts to harvest some more spores. Unfortunately, this one puffs unexpectedly and he gets a faceful of spores despite the cloak! He is suddenly overwhelmed by utter confusion. With no idea where he is or what anything in this place is, he begins to panic and pulls out his knives...

Walks ties the new rope onto the second-lowest rung and weaves it up so it doesn't touch the mushrooms. Then she climbs up to the next level, where the centipede takes immediate offence at being approached and bites her. She takes 1 DAM.

'Is anyone going to help me with the remaining two rats?'
"I'll help with the rats"

William and Drinks head right and launch an attack on the remaining rats. Forges climbs back down the ladder and joins in to help. Together they are able to take out the large rat that had previously been hurt. The rats kill the remaining little rat and the large one takes a bite out of Forges, but isn't able to break through his armour.
