Myconid? No, perhaps Yourconid...

After convincing the Myconids that we came in peace (thanks to Wil's OUTSIDE voice) we managed to make contact with King Myconid Rysetta. After discussing options of obtaining the piece of the shards of day that he had, it was determined if we helped to get a sample of the "Grief Giver's" (Ilithid) poison powder for him to create an antidote, he would give us what we were looking for. After a day of purifying their water as best we could and Cablass brewing some healing potions, we set out with Myconid guides across their vast territory.
 
A day's walk later we arrive at the border, and the crumbling stairwell that is the "shortcut" to the "tentacled-ones." We stopped to make camp and take a rest and then it took a day to traverse the brokendown stairwell to the bottom. Again setting up camp and resting prior to setting out again, a fearful Cablass still acting as our guide. We are preparing to invade the colony of the "tentacled-ones" the "Grief Givers" and I find myself a bit apprehensive about this task...
