Act 1, Scene 4.1: Path to the Left along the lakeshore

Walk along the shore a ways into a grove of what may have been giant amanitas, now droopy and coated in places with black slime. The smell of stale and rotting fungus is overpowering. The word "community" comes to mind when you look at this arrangement of mushrooms, but it's now a community of slow death.

There is a cluster of Amanita Fungads here, old and wilted and vacant-eyed. It sees nothing but pain and the mundane world, and it is devastated, and angry. There is an involuntary aggression that the fungad is holding back; it's easy to see.

She can say something about the "grey people" and their habits, although "when" is a rather useless word for her. Time is strange for the Fey.

She and her children will cough and weeze (SPORES!), but talk to our heroes as much as possible. They have seen "the grey men" about, and it's generally agreed that their presence is what's causing trouble.

Has treasure that the Grey People left behind when she and her daughters scared them away. These items were stolen no doubt, in the Second World. I have no use for them; here; they are yours. (See ACT 3, left to be handed out.)



Traveling around the Lake's edge will lead them away from the valley; headed back to the valley, encounter the kelpie: Act 3, Scene 4, II: Path forward and to the left--Kelpie

Then: @ Act 3, Scene 5... Up into the Icky Valley
