The stirge tries to find purchase on Shayla as they wrestle each other, the bat like wings getting into her face. Holding it as far away as possible she attacks and kills the stirge.
You watch as a sprout moves towards the nest and pulls it open. There are no more stirges, nor are there any eggs.
Molen and Kraz continue to bring the compost bags in, generating interest from the three sprouts in B3, they huddle together deciding exactly where the raw compost should go.
You turn to the north stairs again and notice that you are being observed by Hipsiz and three other adult myconids, they are communing, spores float around their heads. You have been deemed not a threat to them. You move through the thick decomposing vegetation to follow as requested by Hipsiz.
The other Myconid adults leave their meld and walk back to B4. You are not considered a friend nor an enemy. The myconids treat you as they treated Tarak. An outsider who trades with them. Though Tarak has earned the title friend from his many visits here.
Krack botted.
Krack follows on behind, keeping an eye open, perception 15.
He notices that some of the luminescent fungi are shriveled and blotched with black patches of decay. The blight has no obvious source that he can see.
Hipsiz nods his head, since the Sovereign got ill, our colony is rotting from it slowly but surely. Only Sinensa would be able to treat this. The caverns reek of this stench of sulphur, it is part of the rot. Come, follow.
He moves into B4 with the party at his heels.
B4
Six clusters of giant mushrooms are arranged in a rough circle around this cavern. Several human sized mushroom folk stand in a circle in the centre of the cave. The smell of sulphur is stronger here.
Six Mynonid adults are here. Two are tending the other four. They stand stock still in a dream like trance called a meld, experiencing a shared transcendent state. All six myconids are ill and fatigued from the blight that is spreading through the caves, so they take turns resting here.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.

[Thanks for botting Krack, and thanks for the good rolls!]
Seeing the rot on the Myconids, he will turn to Hipsiz and offer out his hand, upon which sits 4 berries. “Special berries from kobold rangers” he begins to say “they provide nourishment and healing power. Perhaps they can help your colony? Perhaps in the compost?” he says with a small shrug. “Worth a try?” he says with a smile added to the shrug.
He sees the opening of a cave mouth to his left, a noxious odour comes from there, including a dust like mist. The myconids avoid it. Maybe he should ask Hipsiz.
Hipsiz to Shayla
We go to the Sovereign, it will tell us what happened, then maybe you can help.
Hipsiz to Krack
Goodberries I have seen them before but never used them. Perhaps they can help Sinensa.
Hipsiz guides you along a path to the north. You enter B5.
Glowing fungus and colourful crystals grow from the walls and ceilings of this smaller cave. In the middle of the cave, two human-sized myconids tend to a larger specimen of their kind The large one is shrivelled and covered with unhealthy purple blotches, and it doesn't move. This is Sinensas chamber.
The two Myconids adults are tending to the Sovereign. The adults collect spores from a ruby morel, and puff them around Sinensas head. The treatment is keeping their leader alive for now but it is a losing battle. Sinensas only hope is if the blight ends.
Hipsiz gives the goodberries to one of the healing Myconids who he called Enok. The myconid smelled them then crushed them into a paste and added them to the rich soil at Sinensas feet. Enok says Thank you
Sinensa regained consciousness, but the damage is very extensive. It is able to spray rapport spores at the party, something that a moment ago couldn't happen, Shaylas healing had helped it. You get to see what happened as if a live show.
You see Sinensa walk from B5 into B4 taking time to commune with the adult Myconid, from the circle chamber B4 it moves off to the southwest and down a short tunnel to what it sees as the Crystal chamber. You feel its puzzlement at a glowing section of the wall, it obstructs a vent. Black mist is spewing from beneath the blockage. He avoids two fume drakes now in residence there. It had made the mistake of trying to move the blockage and took in several lung fulls of the brimstone smelling vapour. It clung to his hands with a burning feel.
DM
The first dagger glanced away from the stirge, but the second hit between the carapace. It collapsed in midair and fell dead
(OOC stirges have a reasonable natural armor but few hit points)
3 stirges left
Shayla
Shayla moves forward to engage two of the creatures

-Vedexent
"real life is a super high CR."
-OboeLauren
"............anybody got any potatoes? We could drop a potato in each hole an' see which ones get viciously mauled by horrible monsters?"
-Ilyara Thundertale
Shaylas punch attack fails, the stirge just managing to twist away. The second stirge screeches and crumples dead at her feet.
2 stirges left.
Trilaxa tries to blast a stirge. AC 12, 8 damage.
Coriana - Company of the Grey Chain
Wagner - Dragon Heist: Bards.
DM - The Old Keep
Theodor
Theodor runs up to the other stirge, and attacks
To hit: 10 Damage: 10
Trilaxas blast hits the stirge missed by Shayla, another falls dead.
Theodor misses the stirge that he had targeted with his warhammer glancing off the carapace.
The stirge attacks him Attack 13 damage 5 piercing, it misses, its claws slipping on Theodors armour.
1 stirge left, your turn.
Shayla
Shayla looks at the bloodsucker and tries to grapple it 13
Then smoosh it with her fist Attack: 19 Damage: 8

Theodor
Theodor turns up his nose at the now dead stirge, "I believe all creatures have a place, but those I can do without."
If Krack points out the mushrooms, Theodor will ask a question to Hipsiz, "This disease of the fungus, how long has this been happening?"
Krack
Here look these fungi all have that black guck on them, they are sickening. He points out to all the party

She observes the scene and tries not to disturb the creatures, "Raei, bless this being. It is being wrongfully harmed, please give it peace."
She casts Healing Word on Sinensas.
