!!Lost Mine of Phandelver Campaign Thread!!

Baeshra listens to Lyngheid, and then retreats to the back of the party to watch the rear.

"They are going to what with my body...." Nyx looks horrified, even her spectral hand scampers back through the air and lands on the back of her head, hiding behind her horns.

"Maybe we go a different way. I would rather deal with rattling bones then having my face melted. Have you truly gazed on my face? Waterdeep nobles have had painting commissioned of it before and called me a muse. Face melting fungus is just not something I do."

Nyx starts walking back the way they came.

Where do you go once you get back to the chamber?

Does anyone go with Nyx?

Umbriel is too fascinated by the fungi to follow Nyx. He is a little trepidatious, but curious to see what lies beyond. 

Lyngheid decided to hell with it and stepped into the fungi room, keeping close to the southern wall as she moved along to the passage.

"Fine you guys go test out the face melting fungus, I'll just watch from here to make sure I don't happen across the same fate!"

"I agree with Nyx. I think it would be a bad idea for us to be surrounded by fungus and lose our minds," Irenia says. "We could try setting it on fire, wait outside of the room and go through once it's clear. I also don't mind going another route." 

" Dwarves are a bit resistant to some of the effects, I'm just going to check out this tunnel first."

At Irenia’s suggestion, Baeshra immediately shakes his big dino head and starts waving his arms at the ceiling.

Whistler and Owlbear look up at the ceiling.

Umbriel hesitates for a moment, and then follows Lyngheid, being careful to move only where she moves and to touch nothing.

Lyngheid and Umbriel bravely venture into the cavern, hugging the southern wall.  As they get about 20 feet in they can't help but walk on the carpets of fungi that cover the floor.  The first step releases clouds of poisonous gas into the air. 

Umbriel and Lyngheid, make a DC11 Constitution Save or take 7 poison damage and be poisoned for 10 minutes.

The rest of the party is far enough away to not be affected, although you can see the cloud of gas in the cavern.  It looks like it is hanging around in the air.

(ooc: I knew it!)

Constitution save: 4

Umbriel starts coughing and sputtering as the cloud of gas envelopes him, but he manages to shake off the worst of the effects.

OOC:

We'll go into a quasi-initiative order.  Do you stay where you are, or go somewhere?

And does anyone else do anything when they see the cloud of gas?

Umbriel will try to appear unfazed as he coughs into his elbow (hygiene, folks) and rejoins the rest of the group at the mouth of the cave.

 Smooth.  Droop holds up his healing potion and raises his eyebrow questioningly.

Whistler is in the cave entrance, cautious and looking at the ceiling since the others mentioned dodgy face-melting fungus.

You see more of the fungus growing on the stalagtites, but nothing that looks like it will drop on you.

Baeshra sighs and gestures at the resultant cloud and the ceiling above them before retreating to the last intersection and waiting to see if the cloud follows them or not.

Nyx waits with a raise eyebrow.

"At least your faces are still on you."
