Session 19

General Summary

Recap

We explored the reservoir to find a way to take down the motherfungal. We found remnants of dockyard and an entrance for halflings. We found a tunnel to the Hive. Middle tunnel had arachnite ended in dead-end with water rushing through. Drainholes lead to the hive. Found way out.
Muireall drank weird potion and had a weird dream where she sank to he bottom of the ocean. she found a well-temple left an offering. Second time much less people, less well kept - she left another gift. Third time entire temple ruined, just one figure. Muireall offered last thing but felt like the twins wanted more.
Currently praying at church, arti and alexander go ask smugglers,

Summary

We created a bomb to drown/salt the fungi in the reservoir. Before detonating it Saga visited the flower in the garden again who, in order to leave, entered her skin and body. It now functions like a symbiote to Saga.
When placing the bomb we were interrupted by a lichenposter of Ingrid that was very frail and feeble. one hit from Muireall took it down. We persuaded the arachnite to leave the location as it wasn't safe. set a 1 hour timer and trapped the entrance. Despite our best efforts the bomb went of earlier meaning something still entered the room.
After the detonation, Seeblick was in a panic. A pillar of mushroom jutted out from the bay and then opened up like a flower. It now resembles a small island with ruins and postules on it.
After a discussion we decided to take autumn Ingrid with us to investigate while Spring Ingrid remained in town with Alaric to assist the panicked villagers.
At the island giant mushrooms sprouted, bigger versions of what we found of the chapel. Also the postules are clearly marmelade. In the ruins a very strong looking lichenposter waits (we didn't recognize them) and now we must fight.
