Before continuing on our expedition to recover our fruit, I would recommend an extended break so everyone may recover and be prepared for the next portion of our adventure. I will still be active to stand guard while my systems convalesces.
The archers lead the way into their passage, the larger ones remaining behind to guard the entrance. Nasaar, it looks similar to the passage above with the other mushroom people, except this one seems more militant. There are ones mining at the cave walls with their bare hands, chipping away at it with each punch. Others are crafting handles and shafts to affix the stones to make their primitive weapons. The party passes where they kept the corpses, where a few stand around the pile of corpses, sifting through it.
They stop at an area with large capped mushrooms all about.
'The six of you may remain here to rest. We will see you when you are awake.'
Hari sits down and leans against the cave wall, unsheathing her sword and laying it beside her. She drifts off quickly, but her hand stays near the sword's hilt.
Time passes with the mushrooms work in the background. The mushrooms don't give much attention to the party, even as a few of the party are already up. Kastor, there's a bit of a cough bothering you but otherwise nothing else happens to the party. One of the mushrooms come to the party.
'Follow me to the lower levels.'
It communes with the party through its telepathy and starts to walk away. It walks toward a wall with mushrooms growing from it. Then the mushrooms start to move, as it was actually a large mushroom man merely sitting before the entrance. It pauses momentarily before the guide nods.
'This one shall follow for a moment, there are signs of other ones like you all deeper in.'
Nasaar follows after the mushrooman. "Thank you." He says when it offers to follow them a ways. "Others further in?" He asks though. "How many, if you know that..."
"If you could bear with me a few minutes, we're not in a hurry, are we?"
Kastor begins to ritual cast Locate animals or plants searching for the Apple of the Deep. He suspects it might be to the right in the water, but will use his magic to try and check.
"Good idea." Nasaar says to Caster as he takes time to perform the now-familiar ritual once again. He stands to the side, watching the ritual be completed, content to wait patiently for the results. After a few minutes of the ritual has passed he would glance to their other companions. "Do you think those lizardmen got in and past us somehow?" He asks the others. "They would have fought the monk just after we left, so could have found a quicker path than we took..."
Kastor can sense the apple is still beneath them, but the random movements are more frequent. Even going past party and then winding around. There doesn't seem to be any rythm to its movements.
Nasaar would like a long rest.

Sylvester notes that others might be further down. He will scout ahead and be silent and unseen if possible.

'Unknown, we have only seen the six of you. Either its a corpse or a living being, regardless, we are curious to see who sneaked past.'
they answer.
The mushroom leads you further in to another crossroads of passages. This time only two different passages, besides the one the party came from.
'The passage on the left holds the statue's field. The passage on the right is where we gather water.'
The mushroom answers.
“The statue field? That sounds interesting, we could check it out guys.” Sylvester says to the group.

"Which one leads down?" Nasaar asks.
(You guys are already down. Up to you see if you get the right path.)
"If you could bear with me a few minutes, we're not in a hurry, are we?"

"We still need to go deeper. What do you draw your water from?"
