    Between Taicho and Mercuira's attacks, the final zombie goes down and does not move again. There is now a small pile of bodies laying in this chamber, which you likely need to take the time to see to putting at rest. There is not any movement that you can see in this room, and in the quiet, you can hear the running water again, up ahead. You don't directly see a way forward from here, however, out of this room, other than an even smaller passage than what you have just come through. It appears dwarves aren't claustrophobic or wary of getting stuck underground.

    Somewhat sheepishly, Darach recovers his greataxe, taking a brief moment to examine the small tunnel before returning to the fresh pile of corpses. "Same as before, Daedalus?" He does not relish the task, but if it will prevent this infection from taking more members of the town, it's worth it.

    It's that time again. Thank you for your aid in getting rid of these hazards... Daedalus wrinkles his nose and goes to work. We should search the chamber, even if it appears empty. Perhaps find the source of that running water sound?
    It could be the source of the infestation.
    He does his work with disdain, but he does it thoroughly.

    Just so everyone knows, Hastur can't be healed with Cure Light Wounds. Just kidding. But everyone else can go back up to full health, -6 charges on the wand.


    Looking more closely around the room, you are able to see that, besides the small crawlspace on the other side of the chamber, there actually is a larger path forward - about twenty feet off the ground is an opening that seems promising. It looks like the dwarves used it, as well, in their original expedition down here, because there are already pitons in the cave wall as evidence that someone climbed it recently. At the bottom of this way forward are a few small packs, apparently from the expedition, as well. There are a few items inside that may be of interest or use to you all as you progress.

    Darach takes note of the packs scattered around the tunnel. "Seem to be on the right track, still. I wonder if these belonged to the miners, or that other group of adventurers. Could come in handy later on." He doesn't move to take any of the items for himself, however, instead examining the tunnel ahead for a way forward, or for signs of any further creatures.

    Jarome gathers up the items, and pulls up his right sleeve to reveal a clockwork mechanism attached to his arm. He opens it to reveal a potion, which he slips into his belt pouch, replacing it for one of the scrolls of Blight. Finished, he lets his sleeve drop down again and looks around to the others. "I'm more then happy to pass around the items. I think most of them will be very handy dealing with the plants ahead... and I think someone will want that pick back. I think these were supplies from the miners."

    It may take some luck, but I should be able to use that other scroll. It certainly could be useful against any further fungus ridden enemies. A lot of use for one of them, at least. Daedalus rolls up the scroll and ties it to his belt in a knot strong enough to keep it from falling to the muddy ground. Hastur takes a moment to clear his blade of any blood or ichor against his already messy pants, checking it over in the dim light. Let us press on, up into this tiny tunnel. It would be shameful to return to the dwarves with the job half done.

    Looking ahead, Darach is able to see that the path 20 feet off the ground is likely the way you want to go. The narrowest passage on ground level looks like it will need widening if you want to go down that way, but the sound of running water is definitely coming from that direction. Taking a few steps back to get a better angle to see upwards, Darach is able to see evidence of activity up on the ledge ahead. As far as he can tell, it's an opening about 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide, with a narrower 10 foot wide passage heading off farther underground from there. There are more packs up on the ledge which he can see, and the glint of mithril embedded in the wall up there. You're very close, you've discovered the vein.

    "Looks like this is the way." Darach rummages around in his pack and brings out a set of climbing gear. He can use the pitons already in place, but the harnesses and other tools will help him keep steady on the climb. He slings his axe across his back. "I can drop this down for the rest of you once I'm up. Hopefully there's nothing immediately at the top of the ledge, but if there is I'll try and hold it off. Shouldn't be hard if it's more of those zombies."

    Easy does it, Hastur. We don't want another incident like that muddy hill. Daedalus readies himself to move forward, securing his gear and putting on a small pair of gloves for the climbing at hand.

    If you bring that up again in the future I will ridicule you mercilessly for a month each time. Grumbles Hastur as he sheathes his falchion and prepares to climb as well.

    You all take your time and are able to climb up to the new level. There are more packs up here, presumably belonging to the miners, but these have been absolutely flayed to pieces, nothing salvageable except for a few more picks like the one you've already found down below. What did this isn't in immediate sight, but Darach, as the first one up, was able to glimpse movement for a moment down the corridor to your left. The vein runs along one wall, and the other is simple stone. The floor here is even and not as slick as it was below you, the passage ahead ten feet across. Who goes first?

    Darach stands ready with axe in hand as the others come up. "I saw something down that way," he says as everyone gets their bearings. "Look sharp. I think we will find our prey soon." Once the rest of the party is prepared, he begins moving cautiously down the corridor, muttering a prayer as he does so.

    The group heads forward into the tunnel, Darach in the lead. As soon as you round the corner, the inquisitor holds up his hand to halt the group. Ahead are three distinct patches of bright yellow flowers, which seem to shudder for a moment in the light, before vines spring up from the ground and curl threateningly towards you. But that isn't what Darach has his eye on the entire time.
    "Watch the floor," he says. Beneath your feet is a thin layer of what seems to be mold and mushrooms, all sorts of different colors. And as Darach speaks, it animates as well, lifting off of the ground slowly.

    As the party advances, the plants spring into motion, as well. The arrow fired by Mercuira sinks solidly into the vines of one of the Creepers, and it almost seems to flinch before lashing out, a tendril flying towards Darach. The other Creeper does the same, a vine launching itself at Taicho. Meanwhile, the slime squelches as Hastur's blade digs in, and it retaliates my bodily launching itself at the eidolon.
    Neither Jarome nor Daedalus is able to get their scrolls to activate. The parchment grows warm in Daedalus' hands for a moment, but the feeling quickly dims - he was very close, at least.

    S C R E A M I N G is always a free action.

    If you don't have a group that supports you - if you instead have a group that judges you - find a different group, trust me. It's not worth your life to waste it on a bunch of hyenas who serve no value to you aside from keeping you down. Everyone deserves to have a say at the table regardless of how they do it.

    Darach stumbles as the mold catches him. Cursing, he throws it off and continues forward toward his intended target. He approaches a bit more cautiously this time, closing in with the animate flowers before taking a wide swing with his axe.

    I'm playing Ironsworn, an RPG that you can run solo - and I'm putting the campaign up on GitP!
