Mamma Mia! Son of a...


Seems we caught our culprit responsible for the deaths around mushroom town. Now we just need to approach this with care since she is obviously powerful. We can do that...

Story[]

Long Story[]

The party stands outside a mushroom hut, in the newly named Myconid village of Fungarum. Having just born witness to Faelia Emberbrew inserting something into the brain of a sleeping Myconid, Screech, in Beholder-doodle form, ponders his next move at the window. He sees a skylight in the hut, and knows what he must do. T'Chuck and R'Oarc watch as the masked vigilante grapples up, and plunges himself down through the skylight to confront Emberbrew. Selene is still back by Emberbrew's hut from last episode lol.

Beholder-doodle tells Emberbrew that the jig is up, but Emberbrew disagrees. She turns back to the Myconid, and takes out a bag of some kind of powder. This, she pours into the funnel that's protruding from the Myconid's head! The mushroom man's eyes begin to glow red. Veins begin protruding from the creature's increasingly more muscular body. It sounds kind of hot, actually. But he's mean! He's become one of the Zombie Myconids!

R'Oarc, who can see through the window, does the only thing she can think to help this poor sexy creature. She casts Healing Word, attempting to restore some of his health. Somehow, however, this actually hurts him. Odd. The creature attacks, as does Emberbrew. She transforms herself into a large scorpion! Scary!

Beholder-doodle is able to snatches away her mysterious bags of powder (that's not a euphemism for anything), and then decides it would be a good idea to get out of the way of her scary claw-like pincers. So, he climbs up onto her back. It's only then that he remembers that scorpions have large awful tails that stab, because scorpions are an affront to God. So, he climbs right the fuck back off her back. And then he gets grabbed by her scary claw-like pincers.

At the beginning of the fight, T'Chuck uses his Spirit Guardian spell to create a zone of pain for both Emberbrew and the Zombie Myconid. Throughout the fight, this chips away at both of their HP, which is handy. Meanwhile, R'Oarc uses a bunch of healing spells, both on her friends, and on the Myconid. For the party, this actually heals them, but for the Myconid, it continues harming it, which is also handy. Selene (who is just able to join the fight now) uses Bolts of the Lightning and Fire variety to light 'em up, and even shoves the Myconid out of bed at one point, which is both handy, and hilarious. In response, the Myconid stands, grabs a dresser, and T'Chucks it at Selene. She worms her way out from under it, only to get hit by a Davenport flung by the creature. Ouch. She's taking a lot of furniture damage this episode. The beast has his gross, red, mushroom-y eyes on a nearby ottoman, when Selene finally finishes it off with one last Fire Bolt.

Emberbrew, still in scorpion form (form-pion?), gets Wounds Inflicted upon her, courtesy of T'Chuck, which turns her back into a human. She's pissed, so she starts whippin' spells at motherfuckers, T'Chuck specifically. She puts a rain cloud above his head, and does some lightning zaps upon him. She also casts Moonbeam, but this doesn't do too much damage.

Finally, Selene is able to defeat her with a Hound of Ill Omen she'd summoned. This doesn't kill Emberbrew, though, because they were all doing non-lethal damage. This includes Beholder-doodle, who was doing non-lethal throat slits. She realizes the game is no longer afoot, so she surrenders.

Short[]

The party fights Faelia Emberbrew, and her Myconid Zombie Hulk thing. There's a lot of fun moments, like Emberbrew turning into a scorpion, and Beholder-doodle climbing onto her back before realizing this puts him in prime tail-stab position, so he jumps off. And also Selene getting a ton of furniture thrown at her. She eventually kills the Myconid, and uses a Hound of Ill Omen (that she still needs to name) to force Emberbrew to surrender.

Trivia[]

  • Nika's favorite number is 13.
  • Faelia Emberbrew is a human.
  • At one point, Nika suggests turning Emberbrew into a bug, putting her into a small box, and then, when the bug time is up, she'll turn back into a human, and be crushed by the box. The party then wonders why that plan sounds familiar, and asks if that's something they've done before on the podcast. I will have to look that up.
