Scarlett motioned for Daygon to unsheath his weapon. The smell was getting dizzying but they must continue. The fact that the whole cave was moist just made it that much more likely that the mushrooms were here. But at the same time the horrible smell could be a bunch of dead bodies. It was a risk they would have to take. Scarlett just hoped that the other group wasn't having to wade through water.

The water kept rising as Ravyn's group continued through the cave. It was now thigh high. She touched her Guild Seal and concentrated on Scarlett's.
"The cave seems to have more water as we go along. Keep your eyes and ears open." She said through the seal.

Scarlett heard the message through the seal as they turned a corner and found a pile of dead bodies, most likely former Knothole Glade residents. The sight almost made Scarlett sick. And the worst thing was this wasn't the horrible smell. It was bad but it wasn't as bad as the smell of the rotting cave. Scarlett touched her own seal and focused on Ravyn.
We'll be careful, we just found the food chamber for these things. Hopefully they're all out hunting.

Ravyn received Scarlett's message. Her eyes scanned the room she was in. The walls were scratched and there were crude markings all over. She would love to know what they meant, but they were on a quest. She continued on.

Daygon followed the others as they rushed out of the feeding room. He noticed blood strewn across the damp walls and shivered, 'I am not turning into one of these monsters!', said Daygon to himself. The three suddenly stopped as they heard faint growls up ahead, walking slowly they turned a corner and saw a balverines shadow becoming lager and larger as it neared them.
Daygon tightened his grasp on his Axe but stayed silent as he did not want the balverine to be aware that they were hiding in the shadows ready for when it found them.

"Skorm!" Scarlett cursed to herself under her breath as she saw the approaching balverines. Daygon already looked ready at her side, his axe was gripped firmly in his hand.
"See you lost my Iron Longsword huh?" She joked to him as she unsheathed the sword that Faddarz had given her. It was probably an inappropriate time for banter but they could die any moment.
Scarlett touched her guild seal and whispered to Ravyn.
There are Balverines in here. I'd guess about 4 or 5. If you hear the battle, don't come looking for us, just keep moving and find the mushroom. See you on the other side.
"Are you ready Daygon?" She whispered to him as the shadows got closer.

Daygon smiled and replied, 'Ready as I'll ever be'. As he spoke he darted around the corner to face the balverines but stopped suddenly. He was facing a large drop. This new room he had entered appeared to be the center of the cave as it had a large waterfall powering down onto the floor, big walkways leading into separate passageways but most importantly it had a pile of glowing mushrooms on the ground.
Daygon stared over at the other passageways and saw the other group of heroes creeping out. 'Scarlett' he whispered, she walked over to him and noticed him signaling that there were balverines scattered around the chamber. 'Should we jump down or find another way?' he asked quietly.

Ravyn heard Scarlett's message. It seemed like there were still Balverines in the cave. She pressed on, the water level now lowering in the cave. Soon enough, they reached another area, this one dry and moss-like.
"The mushroom has to be around here somewhere." she said.

Scarlett cursed again when she saw the steep drop and then cursed again when she realized that they were not going to find the mushrooms, let alone make it out of this cave un-balverinized.
" I say we jump, what's life without a bit of risk right?" She said to Daygon over her shoulder. A howling interrupted her speech for a moment.
"Hey, who cares about a few balverines? You've got your axe, I've got my sword, we've got each other. I'm sure we won't need to wor..." Another howl.
"Lets hurry up though before I lose my nerve."

Ravyn and her group searched the area for any signs of a mushroom. Her hands groped the walls and floor. Finally, her hand felt something soft. She pulled at it and looked at what it was.

'On the count of three. One... two... THREE!' The heroes jumped down into the center and rushed up to the glowing mushrooms, grabbing more than one Daygon rushed down through a steep passageway with the other two whilst stuffing the mushrooms safely in his pocket.
'Where is the other group!?' he asked clutching his chest from a stitch and his arm around the wound on his arm. Weirdly his wound was somehow healing itself. 'Maybe it is the mushrooms' thought Daygon to himself as they all jumped down a flight of stairs.

Ravyn was looking at a red-rose mushroom. She quickly snatched many others up into her pockets. She contacted Scarlett on her seal.
"We have the mushrooms, get out of they cave as fast as you can." she said.

We've found some too.
Scarlett replied through her Guild seal as she watched Daygon out of the corner of her eye.
We're gonna try to get out of here as soon as possible but we jumped into a valley type thing to get the mushrooms, and now Daygon is having some issues. Just go ahead and if I have more problems then I'll contact you again.
Daygon wasn't looking so good and that made Scarlett a bit nervous. They were sitting ducks for the balverines and her only partner was probably turning into one of them now.
"Daygon? Lets get out of here quick. We can try to fix you when we get outside alright?" Scarlett said as she put a hand on his shoulder, her eyes scanning for more canine beasts.

A bright light shot down on the two of them as they exited this dark creepy cave. Daygon flung the mushrooms to Scarlett and shouted for her to run back to the guild as fast as she could. He could feel something strange corading through his body. 'I think its starting' he said whilst emitting a low growl. Daygon ran towards the woods so that he could not harm her.

Ravyn and her group ran out of the cave. There could be more Balverines anywhere. They reached the area where the two groups had split.
"Go, I'll catch up." she said to Neverfall and Glenroy.
She drew her bow and ran towards Scarlett's group.

The man Magpie had sent to get a White Balverine head for the Bowerstone Demon Door, snuck in after the fight, and beheaded a dead White Balverine, he left to begin to head back to The Bandit Camp, which would take a while.

After hearing rumours about a demon door Glenroy decided to take one of the white's heads. Running up the passage with a bag of mushrooms each Glenroy and Neverfall could hear Ravyn firing arrows behind them.

Ravyn saw a bandit leave with a White Balverine's head. She almost shot him, but something made her stop. She sent a message to Scarlett.
"Get out as fast as you can. I think bandits might be coming. No idea why they're so far out here though. Come quick, I'll wait for you guys."
She turned to face her group.
"We need to get out now. You guys take the mushrooms and head back to Knothole Glade. I'll catch up in a few minutes." she said.

"I'm staying too now go!" Glenroy and Ravyn started shooting at the approaching balvrines. Avo let them get out of here.

"I can see them coming Glenroy! Let's go, now! Teleport to the Guild!" she shouted.
She gripped her seal tightly and teleported back to the Guild.
