Jhazaal falls into line near the center.

Wendigo follows the Myconid, wary but fairly confident that no harm will befall the group at the moment.

The tall myconid leads you on a winding path through the fungi forest, which eventually opens out into a clearing with a large pool.  A central mound seems to be the only dry spot in sight, though a small cliff rises above the cavern floor far across the clearing, with giant mushrooms visible in the distance. Bioluminescent fungi trace strange constellations along the cavern’s ceiling and walls, showing the darkness of the ravine and a mist-shrouded smaller cavern beyond.   You can see two myconids standing on either side of a hole in the mound.

"There.  Go to guards.  Tell them Loobamub sent you to speak with Basidia."

Miles:

Chef Miles continues along behind the others, keeping a sharp eye out for any good ingredients.

Chef's Tools:  18

"Thank you, uh, Loobamub?" Vera replied a bit awkwardly to the sprout before heading in the direction the guard had pointed to.  When they reached the hole, Vera spoke up and said, "Hello, we were told by Loobamub to speak with Basidia.  We've traveled with one of your own..." pausing momentarily as she point at Stool behind her, "... hoping to find some shelter and perhaps some information about what's been occurring in the Underdark.  We also have some information that might be useful to you all, though not much more of value than that unfortunately."  

Knox waits silently, behind and to the side of Vera

Jhazaal skurries along behind the bigger folk, his eyes fertively looking all around as they move. He runs a gnarled hand over his bald head often, a nervous habit of his. One of his hands never strays far from his scimitar, and the shield hanging from his pack sways and bounces against his side as he moves.

The guards silently move aside, gesturing to the hole.

(Who’s going in first?)

Vera can go first (Assuming no one has a strong desire to go first in her place)

Knox follows close behind Vera.

Miles:

Disappointed he didn't find any good edible fungi for his recipes, Miles nonetheless follows the others gamely into the hole.

Jhazaal rubs a hand over his bald head as each of his companions head into the hole. He fertively prances from foot to foot, grimacing towards the hole. "I be sure that not be a mouth..." He mutters. "Definitely not a mouth. Has to be just a hole, right..." Swallowing hard the goblin edges forward, then closes his eyes and follows the others, ready for the thing to close on him at any moment.

Wendigo peers into the hole, narrows his eyes, then hops in, lack-of-guns blazing.

(Going to have to put this on hold for 2-3 days.  I’m having to use my phone and it’s just too annoying to DM with its tiny ass keyboard.  Should be back off mobile the 7th or 8th.)

No worries all good!

Inside, 10 odd looking trees surround 2 extremely tall myconids.  One of them has an odd fan shaped structure for a head, and spreads its arms in welcome.

"Welcome, travelers!  You are safe, friendly softers. You arrive at a wondrous time, for Neverlight Grove is on the verge of something great, something marvelous! Celebrate, as the day of joy is nigh!"

Wendigo hesitates for a moment, then speaks, looking slightly confused.

"Er... what is... something?"

"Thank you for the hospitality.  It is much appreciated." Vera replied formally to the sprouts in front of her.  "Could you tell us more about this 'Day of Joy' that you mentioned earlier?" directing her question to both the tall Sprouts as well as little Stool to her side.

Knox nods agreement with the others question.

"Yes, this would be good to know."

"After this, I am afraid we have a matter to discuss, that may dampen your joy."

Knox stands waiting to hear the reply, and to wait for an opportunity to inform the myconids about Demogorgon's appearance in the underdark.
