Rusty easily swims down and picks up the apple from the bottom of the pool. The golem was still standing at the bottom. And as Rusty starts to come back up, Kierran asks, "So where were you all? Would've been helpful if you all were about when the golem woke up."
"You'd have known where we were if you'd come with us and not snuck off on your own little mission. We fought the zombies with the mushroom folk, made allies of them, and rested safely in their...home? They gave us what help they could, and we proceeded to find the Apple."
Kastor gestures towards Rusty as he emerges with the Apple. "What next?"
Having finished his ritual, and having his owl again on his shoulder, Nasaar moves to join the others. "Yes, running off without us probably wasn't your best choice." Nasaar says with a nod towards the golem. "Are we leaving it down there then, as I doubt if we'll be able to haul that thing up and out of there..."
Hari tilts her head at Kieran's varying revelations, then shrugs. "It seems to be more or less under his control. What do you plan to do with it?" she asks Kieran.
"Most of my spells do single targets, not a whole mob. Beside the way was open and it was easy to go in. And the golem is good for an anchor but I ain't waiting around for it." He tosses the rod into the pool. "So what, the mushrooms speak Common or something?" Kierran asks.
The way back is calm. The mushroom men do give Kierran a once over but do not pry any further. He gives an awkward glance back at them. The party progresses back to the where they fought the zombies. The mushroom men were already working on reinforcing the seal upon the passage. Then back through the cliff after a short climb over it. But there was something ahead. More of those odd orbs had floated into the first intersection.
"Should we hit those things from a distance?" Nasaar asks the others. "I believe these are the things that were not too hard to pop, but that burst with some sort of poisonw hen they did so."
Rusty readies his handbow at the sight of the orbs.
Our target is currently secure, our next task is the delivery of the object and collection of our compensation. I would recommend stealth and avoidance of hostility as much as feasible. We can assume we might not be the only interested party in this object.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Nasaar frowns. "Stealth isn't going to get you past thos puffballs." He points out. Taking out his crossbow he shoots at one of the puffballs from a distance.

Rusty grabs the rope and hauls himself out of the pool. He goes to gather his gear and stow the rope.
Target has been acquired, we may proceed to retrieve our promised reward. Do we need to be prepare for conflict with the stone construct in the pool?

"The mushroom men speak through telepathy." Nasaar says with a shrug. "We got the apple though, so let's get out of here."

(Up to you all how to deal with the orbs, they are at the intersection and are just floating about.)
Nasaar frowns. "Stealth isn't going to get you past thos puffballs." He points out. Taking out his crossbow he shoots at one of the puffballs from a distance.
to hit: 5 Damage: 8
The puffball explodes and showers the intersection with its pollen. The other orbs slowly move towards the party's passage.
Upon seeing Nasaar shoot the orb, Rusty aims his handbow and fires at the nearest orb.

Kastor summons his Wildfire Spirit in the middle of the orbs. Any within 10ft of it must pass a DC14 DEX save or take 2 fire damage.
Then the Spirit will use its Flame Seed attack on one of the orbs.
Attack: 23 Damage: 6

Two more of the orbs burst but they keep floating over to you all.
(They're about 30 feet away and 20 feet up now.)
Kastor casts Fire Bolt at one of the orbs, followed up quickly by the Spirit's Flame Seed attack:
