Nyskira looks up as Shade stops near him while carrying Stool and listens to what the little myconid has to say, then asks, "Can you get to Neverlight Grove from here in a day?"
“No. It’ll take nearly 4 tendays!”
Hiya! You can call me Link. Here’s a bit about me:
Roomba Knight, Architect of the Cataclysm, Kitsumiho! Dubbed The Fluffy Bowman by Golden. He/They
Theatre Kid, Ravenclaw, bookworm, DM, Lego fanatic, flautist, mythology nerd, pedantic about spelling. I also love foxes, cats, otters, and red pandas!
I love Korean Mythology. If you want to ask me about something, send me a PM!
Aig amannan bidh mi air mo ghlacadh ro mhòr an-dràsta...Shade deflates a bit at that news. He didn't even think to ask how far away Neverlight Grove was. 40 days! The prospect of spending another month in these dark caves even after they escape the Drow is discouraging, and Shade doubts that a place called "Neverlight" is anywhere near the surface world. He has a sudden longing to see the sunlight filtering through the leaves of his jungle homeland.
But that's not really why Shade brought Stool over to Nyskira. He tells the wizard, "Stool also said that the mushroom people can talk to each other through spores in their heads?" He ends that sentence with an uncertain, questioning uptick in his voice. "Do you know what he's talking about, Nyskira? I thought that it might be why the Drow captured the little guy in the first place."
*Does Nyskira know what Stool is talking about?*
Soren nods as Buppito answers his questions, but decides to continue playing dumb.
"Mistress Ilvara, you say? Who is that, pray tell? You'll have to excuse my ignorance, I'm afraid. I'm not exactly the brains of any operation."
DM of VEYL
*Shade is a rather garbled relay here. Feel free to ask Sprout to clarify.*
“Really? You don’t know? Huh. Funny. She’s the one who controls this whole place. It’s supposedly called Velkynvelve.”

Aig amannan bidh mi air mo ghlacadh ro mhòr an-dràsta...Nyskira asks Stool, "Can these spores you speak of be used by others to... 'speak within their heads?' Are they harmful to non-mushroom people?"
“Yes! We can speak to others in their heads, and it won’t hurt them!”

Nyskira thinks it might be useful to their escape plans to be able to communicate silently.
Mirelle's heart sinks as she hears it will take 40 days to escape to the Neverlight Grove... and even then they'll STILL be stuck in the Underdark. But she isn't one to dwell on the negative long... lest she find herself staring into a dark abyss and unable to pull herself back.
"It seems then that we hath discovered a goal to work towards," she says, doing her best to sound confident. "I am prepared as one can be to do my part to facilitate our flight from this place. Be we all in agreement?"
Unhappy that the market got rid of individual purchases for one-off subclasses, magic items, and monsters?
Provide feedback!
Finn nods in agreement to Mirelle's statement and moves closer to Stool to experience talking in that way.
*OOC: If we can assume that the PCs have pulled together everything that we've heard so far, we have three possible destinations after we escape the Drow.
Maybe ask the others about how long it would take to travel to their homes; one of the other destinations might be closer than Neverlight Grove.*
When Nyskira sees Finn approach he will try to tell Stool using only his thoughts to pass on a message to Finn.
The message is that he believes Ilvara may of placed a 'plant' or two among the prisoners to report any escape plans.
Assuming it works Finn replies from his mind "Who do you think is the spy. Do you think it is the Drow over there?"
*Even if the 'relay-telepathy' doesn't work Nyskira and Finn are close enough to whisper with each other so should still be able to pass info back and forth and plan?*
Nyskira shares some ideas with Finn:
"It could be the drow... or the Quaggoth... or both! Oh, I don't know... maybe my paranoia is getting the better of me?"
"Neverlight Grove is probably too far to try for at 40 days away but we could let everyone think that's our destination. But I've heard of a village nearby, Sloobludop, that leads to many places. If we can make it there then our chances to lose any pursuers improves greatly."
"We're going to need our spellbooks, others will need weapons and tools, and we will all need food, water, and supplies."
