After successfully dispatching the myconid’s mind flayer nemesis. The party travels back and are met with the enhanced hadozee and the fungal Thri-Kreen, a telepathic message speaks in each mind. Accompanied by a smell of sage and images of ancient stone covered with all manner of mushrooms. ‘For your unexpected success in this request you are welcome to enter our colony. Simply follow these your escorts and may your minds be free.’
As you follow your guides there are smells and sights along the way that you cannot easily describe or explain…
*your senses are heightened and your mildly hallucinating.
As you enter the underground myconid colony there is soft blue luminescence, a huge open cavern filled with fungal shelf walkways and bridging. The overwhelming sight of dozens of the most alien creatures you’ve ever seen. A colossal stone in the center is covered in shrooms and mycelium. Somehow you know that this stone is ageless…
Your guides continue straight to a pale (albino) myconid of huge size, as you approach you see a haze form around its enormous head, “Well you did an impossible task. What is it you want here. We can help you on your life journey if you desire.”
Whatever your PCs are feeling here it is felt at the extremes (if appropriate you may play a panic attack or maybe awe or switch it/ suppress and be all logic)
*Tori has adopted her mask during the journey, she suppresses the urge to vomit and is taking short, controlled breaths holding her sleeve over her face* "We want to eventually get off planet and get our families to their original destination. I personally don't like the spores and mental intrusions. I don't mean to offend."
Krakel is definitely in awe. While he usually is fairly composed and straight forward he now looks very relaxed. He has always enjoyed a few pints or a strong pull from a flask, but has never experienced anything like this……..and he enjoys it.
Excitedly he blurts out “Wow guys this place is beeeeauuutiful! These are some pretty nice digs you got here, perfect temp, great layout, and what’s that wonderful smell?”

*I may have something to help while you are here* the thri-kreen moves incredibly fast returning with a ‘hazard suit’ *if you wear this you will not be able to hear us, but also unaffected by our air*

Suddenly you are hit with an incredible craving for snacks…
“I feel like it’s been forever since we’ve eaten anything. Man, do you guys remember those blue apples…..,they were sooooo good.” Krakel reminisces as he’s struck with hunger. “Is there butterflies in here, I swear one just flew by?” ……..”mmm Tori remember that soup your dad made, it was so delicious, I really like pie have you ever had pie?”
”what do you mushroom folks like to eat?.” Krakel asks
Krakel starts digging through his pack, and pulls out a pack of rationed snacks. He plops down on the ground and starts munching away. “I know we are supposed to be here for a reason but I gotta eat something before I can even think about that.” He says as he snacks and looks around mesmerized by the beautiful surroundings. Occasionally you see him follow something with his vision that isn't really there.
”what do you mushroom folks like to eat?.” Krakel asks
The huge albino myconid stops in mid move.
Insight check DC 15
a very brief image of a pile of bodies…
…just flashes, then a glimpse of wild space only with strands infinitely fine mycelium creating a net spanning everywhere and symbols like the one on the stump in random places to fast to recall.
Once Tori dons the suit, she begins coming back to herself- she feels differently viewing this place through the visor. The colossal stone seems much more ominous and even the temperature seems to cool down.

Magoo starts breathing short rapid breaths. His palms are sweating as is his forehead. He starts pacing back and forth over a short distance, alternating waving his arms, wiping his head and hands, and pausing for breath. The hyper-vigilance he has had to maintain throughout his life is turning into hyperventilation and hypertension. He knows something is off but does not quite know what it is (perception 16) or what exactly to do.

krakel may be to “distracted” by the environment
"Snap out of it buddy, we need you at you sharpest" Tori moves in front of Krakel, getting face to face with him. Giving him 4 bardic inspiration

a wash of euphoric feelings floods your minds…

Tori is still creeped out by the mental communication
“I guess they were happy with our work.” Krakel says to the group as they start following their guides back to the myconid colony.
“I sure feel nice all of a sudden. I wonder if the myconids feel like this all the time?”
Magoo does a little dance as he moves along.

Tori does don the suit. (I'll RP as if she can't hear)

Lyre insight check: 10
Lyra misses it completely. Also getting hit with a sudden hunger, she pulls some jerky out of her pack and starts nibbling on that.

Tori goes to the others in turn trying to snap them out of it. "I don't like this, we need to leave"
