CW: This episode contains mentions of suicide, death, and restraint.
In our 29th session, the party finally make it to the center of a deadly cavern imbued with ancient magic. There, they finally find the cause of the nearby village's woes: a distorted myconid beast whose misguided empathy has manifested itself in a life form trying to protect a young girl's life after becoming lost deep in the wilderness.
As the party fight back against the monster, Emilia and Cecily manage to create a mental connection with the creature to try and reason with it. Low on resources and short on time, our Not-Quite-Heroes have to think fast and give everything they have to triumph over the beast.
