"What in Bahamut's name?" Valrish is confused at Sarith's odd behavior. "Hey hey, where are you going?" He says to Eldeth, following her and grabbing her by the shoulders. "What's going on?"
Insight: 11
"Sarith asked me to go... so I went!"Eldeth says, "And you best let go your hold of me, so I can keep on with it." She appears to really want to keep going, but does not resist your hold on her shoulders.
"What? Are you crazy?" Valrish says confused, "You're gonna return... And by the order of a drow?"

Grimnir, you are overcome with a crippling fear. You see Sarith laughing and you are overwhelmed, worried you are going to suffer some ill fate, similar to him. You panic, and begin to look for exits from the cavern. You start to run further down the cavern of quartz, away from your party members. After a few minutes, the feeling passes, you're no longer afraid, but you are a bit out of breath. You turn around and see you've run about 500 feet away from the group.
Grimnir walk back towards the group. " Sorry, this is quite strange, For a minute I couldn't control myself anymore. These weeks without sun must starting to driving me crazy"
To give him strengh, Griming goes for his flask and gulp a big volume of his precious liquor.
At this point, everyone is becoming visibly uneasy with the strange happenings. Shuushar begins to meditate, calling for guidance to the darklake. Jimjar rushes after Eldeth with Valrish. "Come along, love. I bet you'd like to go back to the group, eh?" he says to her. "Yes, of course... I think I can go back now," she responds.
Belwar, the haziness in your head expands. Suddenly you are surrounded, not by your friends, but by demons. Dark shadows grow from where each of your fellow adventurers stood. You feel the heat from their horrid breath beating on you. The words are no longer common, or transmitted telepathically, but the guttural, disgusting speech of Abyssal. "You will die here, gnome. Your friends can't save you. You can't hope to contend with our power. Flesh for the Faceless Lord!" The fiends act as if to attack you, then just as suddenly, they vanish. You see your friends around you again, but they are silent, immobile. Off in the distance, where you saw Grimnir run, you see inky black tentacles reaching out of the darkness, getting closer, and closer, closer still, until they reach out to wrap around you, preparing to squeeze the life from your body. And then they are gone. You are broken out in a cold sweat, and your companions are around you, discussing the strange occurrences. No one else seems to have seen or noticed the demons you just witnessed.
As Belwar comes to, and Grimnir and Eldeth return to the main group, Sarith and Jimjar star urging everyone to leave this cavern. Something isn't right. You all turn to leave and go about 50 feet before noticing that you can no longer talk to each other telepathically. Bupiddo turns around, and snaps at Stool, "Where's those spores, you damn mushroom?" he shouts in undercommon. But Stool is still rooted in place, 50 feet back, paralyzed. Bupiddo starts to shout louder... and then drops to the ground unconscious.
Grimnir notice Stool laying on the floor and run to him... "I knew this Buppido was up to no good" He look at the mushroom and check what he can do (is it hurt ?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
OOC Shit's going down real quick and it's scary.
"What even is going on?" Valrish starts getting a tad scared. "We'd better leave now." He says in common, grabbing Stool and carrying him towards the rest of the group. "Grimnir, you take Buppido, let's get our asses outta here before anyone else starts getting even crazier."

"Jubilex. The Faceless Lord." At this point, I seem to recover and revert to my instructional tone. "Demon Lord of slimes and oozes. Ruler of one of the many layers of the Abyss. One of the more powerful Demon Lords. Based on that vision, I'm almost positive that it's responsible for what just happened, but I have no idea how."

You all start to move quickly away from the cavern, carrying some of your compansions. Shuushar continues to lead, "The Archpriest Ploopploopeen will be able to help us! We will find him in Sloobludop, on the darklake!"
After about 8 minutes, Stool is able to move again, and he releases spores into the air. "What happened? I couldn't talk! Are there monsters? Are we home yet? I'm scared."
Shortly after, Bupiddo also wakes up, and starts to flail in Grimnir's arms. "Put me down, you oaf!"
Neither Stool, nor Bupiddo know what happened exactly. They seem to be okay, with no lasting effects at the moment. Before long you are able to exit the strange glowing cavern. You are tired, and your food stores are running low again.
You round a corner after exiting cavern, and the cave ahead of you opens up into a vast chamber. You hear the faint sounds of water lapping against rock. "At last!" gargles Shuushar. It seems you have indeed found the darklake. The water is barely perceptible in the darkness. Shining light reveals the edge of water touching the cave floor. The lake is massive, extending far beyond your vision into the darkness.You see Shuushar waddle into the lake, and dip his head in. Then he pops back up. "We are slightly South of Slubloodop. Can get supplies, seek guidance from Archpriest! Not safe to swim. Need boats. Perhaps some nearby?"
The cave does extend somewhat along the lake. You might be able to forage food, and hopefully find something to use as a boat. There are also several side caves suitable for resting, and you've been up for some time.
(OOC Survival checks all around, please! And let me know if you're resting.)
