Publisher's blurb:
Winding caverns have been carved away over the eons by tricking rivulets which funnel into the depths. Debris and muddy grounds have coalesced here with the carcasses of creatures feeding the large glowing fungus and undergrowth that has spread through the depths.
Stone bridges span the small streams which now meander ever deeper and large stone chambers hold lairs for the foul entities that call this place home.
Adventure Seed
A strange rot has infested the local farms, destroying vegetable produce and injuring those living who breath its spores. It was first noticed one month ago, when local hunters reported strange, small brown mushrooms with bio-luminescence and roots like veins. They appeared to be growing out of the entrances of caverns, leading to vast networks which run beneath the entire region…
Since then the rot has spewed fourth, contaminating the farms and forests above. The locals have tried multiple methods of cleansing it, but the infestation resists; threatening starvation.
You’ve been tasked to venture into the vast network of caverns to find its source, and perhaps, a solution.
What’s happening? Known for their amazing selection of exotic fungus, mountain dwarves export their mushrooms to the kingdoms of man. When a strange rot took hold within their growth tunnels, everything changed.
They tried everything they could think of to purge the rot, but none succeeded and the growth continued to spread throughout the underground network. Realizing that their efforts to contain the deadly infestation had failed, they sealed the contaminated tunnels so their city could survive.
Unknown to them, the mass continued to grow beneath their city, and sought other outlets.
The heart of this plague is a being who embodies living rot. Dark and twisting veins tie together carcasses of the dead, spreading spores and nutrients for its parasitic growths. Smaller creatures have broken off from it, wandering the tunnels and waiting for other living beings to incorporate into their own, rotting forms.
If one were to destroy the original, largest entity, perhaps the network of fungi would, too, fade…
