- They also state that one of their own, Emilia, has gone missing and a terrible rotting smell is coming from one of the caverns, leading them to fear the worse but they can't retrieve her because of the blinding dragons
- Heading into the cavern, the party finds first Spring Spiders, medium creatures that look like glass that are filled with fresh water.
- Heading further in, Monkshood and Larkspur find Deer Quartz, and are able to collect their fallen crystals.

- They are quickly surprised though by bright flashes that belong to the Jade Vine dragons, who are tiny. Sweet Pea falls in the water
- They chase the dragons around the cavern, getting blinded and the quick little dragons dashing away! Eventually though they bop them enough to release the knight and lady in waiting back to themselves!
- While chasing the creatures about, Larkspur and Elyssa discovers a merrow caught in a shallow pool, using her strength to move a cavern collapse so the merrow can get back to their deep spring cavern.
- Exploring the other side of the cavern, "Kit", they head for a narrow area that smells like rot and death. Inside, he finds Emilia, catatonic and covered in external veins of mycelium. Protecting its prey, there is a Morille (a dinosaur made of fungus) which chases him out of the narrow passage

Session 4: At Death's Door[edit | edit source]
Characters: "Kit", Monkshood, Derian, Sweetpea, Kosuna
Important NPCs: Hedy, Acostisia, Raspberry
Floral Dragon: Amaranth
Dragon Mark: Minor Illusion
Important Things that Happened:
- The adventurers were sent to investigate the bodies of small dragons and fairies in the beginnings of the wild forest beyond the Wolf Tree. What they discovered among the magical flowers and ham plants were the bodies they expects, but heavily decomposed and covered in mushrooms, making a crescent shape. Getting close the circle alerted the nearby Amaranth dragon, who called out for help from an ally, a pied-blue creature. When beaten, this floral dragon was revealed to be Lady-In-Waiting Bo
- The adventurers used all their resources to beat the Pied-blue as well, and destroyed the 3/4 formed mushroom circle when someone heard a cry for help. Heading into the glade at the top of a cliff, they found another Pied-Blue, two decayed boars, as well as what they were guarding, an active mushroom ring, as well as two fairies, Acostisa (covered in mycelium and catatonic), as well as Hedy, the one calling for help. The adventurers were able to save them both and destroy the mushroom ring.
- But adventuring does not come without cost. Before the active mushroom circle could be destroyed, curiosity got the better of Kit and while he was not pulled into the other side, he was corrupted to a state of catatonic as well. He awaits a cure in Vera’s infirmary.
- When told about the mushroom rings, Queen Cherise told the adventurers that she knows now who is attacking them. The Court of Decay Once ruled by her sister, it was overtaken by a hag a thousand years ago and it seems they are now prepared to take over this court as well. The Queen’s decree: Every mushroom circle must be destroyed, no one crosses to the other side, and any corruptive mycelium burned away.
