>>6119347 >After making a perfect landing on thankfully dry land, he takes a quick glance back at the mushroom bridge, Looking almost proud to have cleared the jump so gracefully, a far cry from his earliest uses of that move >Once he finally finishes patting himself on the back, he looks over just in time to see the rest of the group make their ways across "I'm almost glad the path outta here closed up, I kinda don't wanna push my luck getting back across."
Not VoL
>>6119351 Skitty moves on to manually getting back in her original, vined position. Relatively, of course - she's obviously not gunning for the vines where there is now a colossal dragon she'd smack against and drop into the river. Instead, she grabs a nearby vine with her tail and flings herself across, landing with catlike tread. She gains 10 Cat Points. Not that it matters.
>>6119356 Mohka swings himself across. A joke about weight would be tasteless, however, and is spoken for itself when he lands with some metallic rattling and a small dust cloud beside Cubone, who scarcely reacts besides dusting himself off.
Proceeding past, the cave is mercifully a straightfoward trek for a few minutes. The next area is a diverging path... interestingly, each tunnel forward is surrounded by more glowing mushrooms, far smaller, but similar visually to the ones you'd seen earlier - the first entrance is surrounded by glowing orange mushrooms, the second with purple, the third boasts a sickly yellow-green, and the last has a calming blue.
Between the first two doors, the typical smooth stone of the tunnel walls is replaced with brick. You must be underneath the temple, and, from a skylight above, daylight occasionally flickers on it at regular intervals of a few seconds... maybe there's something to it.

Cubone sits there and thinks a moment, before offering further speculation. "These mushrooms are concentrated entirely around each tunnel, separate... perhaps intentionally cultivated? I believe they are a marker, not an answer."

Not VoL
>>6119394 Whilst Skitty moves on ahead, and Mohka speculates his own reason, Brook decides to directly engage with the stone wall ahead of them. It seems nothing will happen for a moment, until you hear... something moving. Something large and stone, like some sort of primeval machinery, behind the brick... eventually, a pattern begins to light up, glowing deep purple... looking at it gives you a deep sense of dread, and, to the four of you, is very familiar. More to the point, if this symbol is purple... there's your answer.
Pic related.
>>6119393 The moving of ancient stone and half-working mechanisms powering the defenses of the lower half of this temple activate once more seconds after, interrupting the three remaining in the main chamber. A loud thud erupts, and when you examine the orange-tinted path Skitty entered, there's a boulder... and it's about to start rolling.
From skitty's perspective, she's about to be chased by a big boulder down this narrow tunnel. It's straightforward, at least... Speed check! Unless you have some other means of getting around it? It's blocking view of your allies, so making someone else take the fall might be a little hard...

>>6119406 >>6119409 "I would not advise it. Choosing what seems to be the incorrect one, well..." Cubone gestures to the imminent boulder crushing. Had Brook not passed his own courage check, this would double as encouragement, for whatever it's worth.
>>6119413 "I do hope you're right..." Cubone mutters, proceeding down the rightmost path.
He was not right.

>>6119401 Something bad happens to Skitty due to her own decisions made out of overconfidence. She seems great at outspeeding a boulder: four base Speed plus three training, and outrunning it is not a sweat.
What is a sweat is tripping over one of the many tiny, glowy mushrooms in her mad dash, resulting in the boulder catching up. Yeowwwwch!! Take 12 True damage from crushing.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IGF2Q6spNXI >>6119404 >>6119409 >>6119422 As for the rest of you, entering the purple shroom-lined tunnel results in no traps activating. Or allergenic spores, for that matter. It's a simple downwards slope, soon leading to a small drop, conveniently above one of those bouncy mushrooms to break your fall into an open chamber. Cubone takes the plunge first, and walking ahead into the room, you find three circles of those two-toned mushrooms you were looking for! Neat! ...Right? There's... not supposed to be a single, big mushroom growing in the middle of them though, is there?
The boulder arrives in the chamber next, landing in a small ditch designed to catch it, rather than the soft mushroom you'd landed on. Skitty follows suit, landing atop it gently, like a flat piece of paper. Fortunately, this deals no damage.
Hey, remember that big mushroom in the middle of the others? Mushrooms don't have eyes, right? Or roar at you? Wait. That's an Amoonguss... right?
No one here can tell you what specifically is up with this Pokemon, but despite looking like Amoonguss, it seems... different. A regional variant, perhaps?

...Picking up from last night...
>>6119439 Talking proves utterly worthless - it doesn't even register the words. Dungeon Pokemon and all of that... though how much of this place is a Mystery Dungeon is debatable, given the room you were just in. As for actions taken, Brook now has a Substitute up. This enemy probably isn't smart enough to distinguish between it and the real deal, if nothing else.
>>6119443 Mohka socks the 'shroom square in the jaw. The big pointy mouth, at any rate, it's probably not a jaw because it's a fungus. Said jaw is also... mostly squishy. It's like hitting a stress ball with teeth inside. Eeuuuuggghhh...
>>6119445 Two negatives make a positive - a crumpled leaf makes a crumpled cat slightly less crumpled. Does nothing for the probable inevitable joint pain, though, but that won't stop you from actually doing anything. +3 HP!
Cubone passes his turn from, uh, a bad Initiative roll you didn't have to do. Yeah. Can't have your exposition fairy be too useful, right?
ENEMY TURN
"Amoonguss" begins its turn by... retreating? Jumping back from Mohka's punch, it hobbles over to another of those mushroom circles, and promptly buries itself, disappearing between uneven earth. Your group isn't sure what to make of it, until some silt and dust begins pouring from the roof above. It emerges from another circle of upside-down mushrooms, dropping a Seed Bomb on Brook's Substitute! That's 15 damage to the faux fox.
Since the thing is... somehow walking on the ceiling between these mushroom circles, you'll have to figure out how to get it down... or how you can get up there.

Rolled 13 (1d20) >>6119792 The fungus knows where it is at all times. It knows this, because it knows where it isn't. It does take actual Disarming Voice damage, though. You also learn, indirectly, that clinging to the ceiling isn't unusual or wacky for it.
>>6119812 Brook attempts to lure an attack of opportunity, but when the trouncing toadstool doesn't take the bait to go back in its' original fairy circle, he finds himself... hitting it anyway. From behind. Reorienting himself reveals all of his allies on... the ceiling? No, they didn't go anywhere... Brook himself got on the ceiling somehow. Did those mushrooms teleport him up here?
>>6119806 As before, so it remains. The larger, glowing mushrooms seem more like launch pads than trampolines, effortlessly allowing Mohka to make melee attacks without any disadvantage or struggle. The fall is another matter, but between the high ceiling of the room and lichen-covered flooring, you're not at risk of real damage.
This not quite an Amoonguss is, though. This time Mohka nails it on the convenient circle in the middle of its' cap. It hisses, providing its' own sound effect.
>>6119812 While Brook finds himself on the ceiling through assuredly supernatural means, Cubone has taken note of their actual objective as well, though he doesn't SAY anything about it. Instead, he's harvesting them from the farthest fairy circle. That dice roll's his stealth check, by the way.

Rolled 2 (1d20) Cubone seems to have finished his mushroom harvesting, and the area is now absent a fairy circle. He says as much, but whether you even hear him past the sounds of a giant mushroom stomping around and a fistfight going on is another matter.
"...I have acquired the necessary samples. We should make haste in.." he pauses for a moment, assessing the situation. That fungus isn't doing so hot. "...dealing with that, I suppose."
His assistance is limited, firing Water Gun into the nearest fairy circle. We'll see how that goes on Enemy Turn.
>>6119842 Mohka does indeeed punch better, trading it fist-for-fungus for a moment before socking it, causing the mushroom to cover its' face with its strange, shroomy shield hands. This, humorously, causes him to completely restore his health by the exact number of damage dealt to him. Embarrassing! For the Brute Bonnet, anyway.
>>6119846 Brook drops from the ceiling willingly, rather than forced by upended earth from the funny fungi. He uses the momentum granted to him by (natural) gravity to push in its' soft spot like Mohka had a turn prior. It doesn't like that at all, going off the weird whining-hissing noises coming from it!
>>6119850 Skitty launches herself to the ceiling and attaches to it, then teleports Brook to her position, giving him another go at dropping, should he so choose. It's also probably kind of trippy, especially since the lichen feels a lot more like a moss floor than something you'd stick to.

Moving on to the (not) Amoonguss among us' turn, it throws another Stomping Tantrum, its' power doubling due to the utter failure it had experienced last turn. Earth upends underneath Mohka, rocks, gravel, mud, and stone pelting him for 17 damage before defenses. It runs off to its' fairy circle once more to join Brook on the ceiling, and drops a Seed Bomb from above unto Cubone for 19 damage before his defenses. That's... 18 with, which is most of his health. It knocks him down, but he's still intact, albeit muttering under his strained breath.

"Gat dammit that one hurt! I ain't done with you yet, though!" Drain Punch, again, Mohka is determined for this to be a *fist* fight.

D-did I hit the guy so hard I bounced back up!???"
>speaking of the fungus, he pops up not too long after. Seeing as he's already about to fall, he thrusts his leg out towards the mushroom trying just to get a quick hit on it before gravity has its way (Basic attack 4 BP + 4 atk = 8dmg)

>>6119876 Fistfights are the sort of thing Mohka will win easily against a Dark-type. Not that he should be especially aware of that... He chases it into its' fairy circle, irony be damned, and returns its' cheap punch with a draining stike from behind.
>>6119877 Brook is up here too, though through no fault of his own. He nails it from the other end, right after it finishes bombing Cubone. Shortly thereafter, he drops gently down to the ground with foxlike tread.
>>6119900 Skitty goes on to startle it with some faerie song - or rather, really loud cat noises. They serve the same purpose though, and it causes the imposter Amoonguss to fall down from where it was standing, landing clean on its' mushroom cap, upside down and defeated. Good job! With it out of the way, and Cubone having harvested the required mushrooms...
MISSION COMPLETE!
Your rewards:
-250P to all participants
-55 EXP to all participants
Cubone dusts himself off as he gets up to rejoin you from the far end of the room.
"Your concern is appreciated, but I am fine." he snarks, "We have all we need from here. We should drop off these samples."
Status update given, he immediately takes to leaving. The rest of you might want to spend a few minutes looking around the room, but all you'll find is the other half of your rewards, unearthed in the circle the strange mushroom Pokemon emerged from. There are three items... no wonder it was hostile if it was guarding stuff like this. Take one!
-Malady Seed
-Galvanic Orb
-Black Gummi

>>6119929 Skitty nabs the Orb, having never actually gotten her paws on one before. "I mean, we were fighting, Cubone," she says to his back. "I had you if you went down or something like that. You know?" Hm. Did she?
She shakes her head. "...Oops."

>he says dusting himself off as he recovers from his second fall in a row, as he does so he notices a familiar looking black bean in the circle the mushroom had just been in >He quickly grabs it and stores it away...not gonna do anything with that until it gets a THOROUGH washing "Alright guys, let's get outta here too. All the spores in the air is messing my with nose."

>>6119932 "Agreed. I should've known there'd be something suspicious about that mushroom..."

She's still processing the fact that she got ran over by a boulder and is alive, actually. Fuckin' cartoon world.
