Jhazaal and Miles, you both know that Zuggtmoy is a demon lord—like Demogorgon.  Her area of expertise is fungi, and she tends to corrupt anything she touches.

Knox doesn't understand what the creature before him is saying and doesn't recognise the name.

"What kind of creature is this? It appears to be much like the drow that held us captive, but also somewhat like the myconids."

Knox looks to the others, hopeful one of them understands what is being said.

The creature speaks once again.

"Drow, metal man.  Or at least, I was drow.  The spores are taking hold, I feel myself fading away."

She pauses, and hacks out a cough.

"Please.  Tell Menzoberranzan . . .the demons are loose.  All of them.  Do you understand me?  All of them!"

This outburst causes another coughing fit, and she appears even weaker than before.

"Please.  End me, before I become like the rest.  Please . . ."

If no one else chooses to before him, Wendigo strides up to the creature, takes careful aim, and splits its skull with a blow from his axe.

"There. It say... all demons loose? How much is all demons?"

Wendigo's actions waking Vera from her stupor, she smacked herself in the face a few times to make sure she wasn't dreaming before spinning around to face the party.  "I don't know, and and I don't know what kind of f*cked up situation we've stumbled into but this is no safe haven and something is very wrong in the Underdark.  We need to find a way out of this place and this realm.  Now."  Vera then scanned the Grove for any exits besides the one they just entered from.  (Perception: 21)

A low laugh bubbles up from the further in the garden.

"There’s no way out now, my dears."

What looks like a horrible mutation of an ooze and a mushroom comes crawling out of the garden.  If it;s a myconid, it’s like no other you’ve seen.

Miles:

"Who are you?  How did the demons get out?  What did this to you?" Miles spits out the questions, but the merciful Wendigo ends her misery before she can answer the first two questions...and the answer to the third question speaks up a few moments later.

Drawing his serving platter and rolling pin, Miles prepares to do battle.

(Whoops, forgot to say—initiative please!)

"We are in it now..." Jhazaal says, nodding to Miles as he grips his scimitar and waits to see what the others do.

Initiative: 21

Miles Initiative:  9

Jhazaal initiative: 6

Knox looks blankly at what remains of the the now dead drow, giving away no emotion.

"We are in exceedingly great trouble. If this is true, me may have trouble finding any kind of safe haven anywhere, and anywhere we find may soon become unsafe."

As the laughter can be heard and then the creature crawls into view, claiming they cannot escape, Knox also looks around, like Vera, looking for an exit.

Vera Initiative: 22

Vera wheeled around once again when she heard the chilling laughter in the distance.  Staring at the strange sprout-like ooze, she had a moment a doubt.  Can we really survive down here?... I wasn't trained to fight something like... that... Her mind spiraling as she frantically searched for an exit, her eyes eventually lingered on the field of heads in front of her.  Remembering that her mission was to help not just some of the Drow in need down in the Dark but all creatures, she strapped her shield to her arm, bolstered, and prepared to fight what ever horror approached them.

The garden erupts with screams, and several spore infested creatures crawl out of the ground behind you, cutting off any possible escape routes.

Initative: 16

(Vera and Wendigo are up.  One mutant fungal sac is in front of you, and two drow spore servants and two myconids are behind you.)

"Stick together!"  Vera shouted commandingly at the others as she drew her sword.  "And as soon as someone finds a viable exit we get the Hells out of here!"  Moving towards which ever creature was closest, she stabbed her sword at it hoping to create some sort of path forward.

Attack: 20 Damage: 13 (Sneak attack included due to Rakish Audacity ability)

Wendigo whips out his longbow and points it upwards, firing an arrow at the ceiling. It strikes a loose stalagmite, which falls upon the spore servants and myconids among a shower of painful rubble.

(Hail of thorns, targeting one of the myconids/spore servants with the most other enemies surrounding it. If Vera is attacking one of them, he will attempt to target one that will not catch her in the spell radius.)

Attack: 6 Damage: 3

Thorn Damage(Dex 12 for half): 10

Vera spins on her heel and slices one of the drow servants open, spores shooting out of him and clogging the air before they’re blown away.

Wendigo imbues his bow with magic, but his first shot goes wide.

As you watch, Sprite suddenly stumbles up into view.  He looks at Vera with panic in his eyes, and opens his mouth to say something.  Before he can, the red spots you’d noticed on his head before erupt, and his head explodes with spores.  The next thing you know, he looks like just another spore servant.

Both him and the other drow mechanically slash at Vera, the movements leaden and jerky.

Attack: 12 Damage: 5

Attack: 16 Damage: 8

Both myconids release spores, one at Vera and one at Wendigo (Con save).

The mutant myconid lumbers forwards and belches out spores, covering Knox, Miles and Jhazaal in a sphere of pungent smelling mist (Con saving throw).

(Everyone is up)
