Log
We Associates were sent to collect additional mushroom components in a previously identified cave. Instructions were to collect as many components as possible and clear the area of reports of myceloid creatures. Absinthe gave a brief presentation on the Myceloid creature type as she appeared to be knowledgeable in the subject.
While proceeding down the tunnel, Iosayas moved ahead and then proceeded a door. A bright flash of light nearly blind them and they then shut the door. The lizardfolk known as Clam then entered the room and blindly searched it finding nothing.
Further into the cave we found rail tracks that lead to a collapsed tunnel. Doug dog was used to dig a way through. While digging Doug dog was attacked by one of the Myceloid creatures. The Associates then engaged in combat by pushing through the cave and into a larger cavern with a hole in the center. 4 different types of myceloid are identified and summarily destroyed through the Associates combined efforts.
OF NOTE: It is this writers's opinion that the Associate named Tuli Myrsky not be trusted around hallucinogenic components and creatures. A poor mental strength resulted in the member hallucinating during the majority of the battle.
After finishing the battle non-violent mushroom based leshy made their appearance. They spoke in a strange language that Absinthe and Mayel seemed verse in. No changes to the Associate mission were made.
The party procedded down the central hole, hearing chanting in a strange tongue the party ventured with caution. Iosayas elected to rush down. Gwenevere utilized undead bodies to distract the multitude of myceloid. A spellcasting myceloid was identified, it appeared to be controlling undead mushrooms as protectors.
During this altercation a single myceloid-based creature appeared that immediately began using fire and poison based magics. The creature was capable of flight and appeared quite confident in its skills.
The battle was concluded after some time. One Myceloid exploded upon its death, the gas entering Maki's lungs. Maki died the next day from a pox based disease. She has since been resurrected.
Performance Review:
Maki - Well performance, excluding death
Absinthe - Adequate
Mayel - Substandard performance due to mismatched skill level, needs improvement
Gwenevere M - Meets expectations
Clam - Adequate
Iosayas - Needs Improvement
