Return to Thistlefoot to Fix the Trees

DM: Chase
Players: Elora, Beadle, Igor, LeRoy, Ruby, and Sam.
We are interested in the cave altar in Thistlefoot that the Raven dressed barefoot spooky monk guy (Jeff the evil wizard?). Beadle is nervous about going back so Elora gives him a healing potion. Its brown green pulpy with purple glittery undertones. He is suspicious and asks about the pulp, I tell him the flavor is not typical, its purple flavored. Purple Drank! Beadle has a saddled dog. Elora buys a health potion from Mira (Mira's Wonders) She gets a 10% discount. We head out into Thistlefoot past the loggers and into the old growth part. We move stealthily and all the natural forest sounds are gone. It is quieter than last time. No animals. Chuckesby goes to a tree and sees a moss monster and continues searching.The moss attacks us. There are 3 of them. We knock them down and two of them try to get back up. The ones that are tree like more than mossy. After much knocking trees down and them regenerating, Beadle was able to keep them from regenerating with firebolt. Elora casts Detect Poison and Disease as a ritual and shakes a branch of yew leaves over plants and the water. The plants recoil and turn decayed but the water seems unaffected. Beadle smokes some grass and casts detect magic. He sees long tendrils of sickly auras that are touching the diseased plants. It is transmutation magic aura. It appears to be growing.We follow the disease to the cave where the gnolls were guarding before. There are some weird briars that don't seem right. We are attacked by twig blights, vine blights and a bigger spookier ones. 4 twig blights, 2 vine blights, and 2 needle bright. The Twig Blights go down. The rest are dispatched. We attempt to rest and a Quaggoth Spore Servant attacks mid rest. We kill it. We head into the caverns and find the altar has sprouted a spooky vine monster! We kill the shambling mound!
