“Want flash-boom, and I let you out.” The spider offered. “You teach”

Eiric, trapped in the sticky web of the mushroom men quickly agreed. Sadly cutting everyone out took time. Time they didn’t have. From the direction the mushroom men ran off to, they returned the same way, with company. Standing tall amongst their 4’ crowns strides a thorn covered woman with bark skin, and leafy hair.

“Hello fertilizer”

The spider retreats as fast as it’s legs can take it. Eiric and the rest of the party look on, stuck as she approaches the edge of the webbing. “Not that I much care, but what brings you to my home?”

Eiric explains that they’re looking for the heart of Ka-Nefer. She doesn’t know who that is. Karl thinks that maybe *she’s* the heart. She gets bored and wanders off, ordering the mushroom men to keep us contained until we expire. They toss another pair of bombs in, knocking out more of the party. Waiting for the dryad to move on, Eiric then drops a fireball on the mushroom men, filling the air with a delightful savory smell.

Quickly as they can, they cut themselves free, and flee from the hothouse and out of the dungeon. To regroup and plan their next moves.

In town, A-A-Ron throws a big party. He then regretfully informs Eiric that he isn’t always going to be available to go into the dungeon, though he’s cagey as to why.
Lex also throws a bit party, and is inducted into the Fraternal Order of the Round Table (FORT Local 361).

Meanwhile Karl really wants to be able to throw fireballs, and talks Eiric into brewing a couple up. Thankfully both “potions” were successfully made, and neither blew up in the lab. Eiric then hires Wennic as her new linkman.

While discussing what to do, Karl declares that “We’re gonna kill her (Urishol the Dryad) because his name means tree!” (Ka-Nefer/Conifer)

The party packs up to head back into the dungeon, without A-A-Ron. In his place, a young woman named Lucretia shows up, carrying his sword Slider.

Down in the Asylum the party takes their usual route down to level 3, but stop as they reach the hallway leading to the auditorium. The doors of the “fairy - NOPE” room are open. Standing guard are a pair of mummy wardens. Within are several other mummified forms, and dominating the back wall is a massive Black Sun. Standing before it, performing some sort of ritual… Ka-Nefer! His burning blue eyes flicker toward them, and they run for the stairs taking them down deeper into the dungeon...
