​Session 1 Sep.21.2025
**
Our adventurers show up on Ambian, not understanding or comprehending what or where they are. Sakamoto,from Japan, Lucious from Greece and Pete an alchemist from ancient Rome.
the trio meet up on a well trodden path and at first are reluctant to greet each other. After a few minutes one speaks and realizes they can all understand each other. After a few moments of chatter trying to figure out what happened, why and where they are now, there is a shriek from the forest just to the north of them. They decide to investigate. Upon entering the forest on what seems to be a path of sorts, they come across a being that none of them expected they would see let alone have ever imagined seeing.
The beast had a mushroom cap head,with 2 eye sockets appearing up front. The trio is getting the sense that this creature wants them to follow it.
They do.
As they approach the shroom cap being, a long tentacle suddenly reaches out from the darkness to grab one of our heroes.
It luckily misses and the three adventurers engage the odd beast and combat ensues!!
Out of the shadows lurks a large Mushroom shaped beast with long tentacles covered with red glowing spores.
After several failed attempts the trio finally dispatch the beast and decide to follow the Shroom being to its domain to investigate what is going on.
After descending for what felt like forever, the party enter into a world very strange from anything theyve seen back on Earth. The ground is covered in a moss substance and there are mushrooms growing everywhere. The ground is squishy but still able to be walked on.
The small schroom cap being they met on the surface doesnt seem to speak but the party gets a weird sensation every time it walks into a clump of the moss. They all get the feeling like the shroom cap being is sharing its feelings and using them to communicate. The trio all suddenly feel a sense of desperation and fear as they are sharing feelings with this Mycleian. They all agree to investigate this further to try to figure out what it wants.
As they continue forward into the Mycelian domain, now they get a sense of a name for this place, COPRINOP.
Not really understanding how or why they now know this they get an over whelming feeling of loyalty and the need to protect these beings in COPRINOP.
Scanning the terrain the party sees that Eastern half of the domain seems to be covered in a black moss and tons of red spores, while the Western side of the territory is covered in a green moss with several different coloured shroom caps and spores growing abundantly.
To the far West there is a tall tower like structure that connects the roof and the floor of this under ground domain. To the East there are two more tower structures. One to the North East, is covered in black moss riddled with red spores, while the other to the south East is also surrounded by the moss, but the tower itself is a dark grey almost black colour.
As the party continues to survey the area in front of them they notice a skirmish to the north. They look at the shroom cap being and it immediately transmits a sense of fear and loss. The party notices that several of these shroom beings are fighting with what looks to be other shroom creatures but larger and scarier looking, covered in red spores.
Suddenly, from out of the black moss in front of them, three black creatures appear. Looking like mutated crows with deformed beaks, no wings and large claws, covered in red spores. Instantly the small shroom cap being disappears into one of the clumps of moss next to it. The party engages the beasts. After nearly losing two of our heroes, they dispatch the creatures and head back toward the Western side of the territory. The small shroom cap being re-appears and with it a smaller shroom cap creature covered in blue spores. After a few minutes the smaller shroom cap being shed the blue spores and restores some health back to the party.
They agree to rest up and seem to feel they are at a safe distance from the main battle

​Session 2 Oct.05.2025
**
Now rested up after their first encounter with a spore crow beast here in COPRINOP,decide to investigate more territory to see if they can help these beings re-claim their domain from these red spore invaders. The group moves slightly north to see if they can join the battle, but are intercepted before they can get very far. Three large tank-sized shroom cap beasts rise from some black moss and approach the adventurers. Not wasting any thought, the party engages the beasts and COMBAT is waged!
Our heroes manage to dispatch two of the beasts. As they decide to engage the third, Sakamoto bolts from the group and heads East to check out something that he glimpsed from the corner of his eye. He comes upon a large spike covered beast. Almost reptilian looking and yet has a head with a mushroom cap. Sakamoto decides he want to ride one of these beasts and see if he can control it. He rushes forward an attempts a leap onto the rear quarters of one of the spiked shroom beasts. Not a good idea! Sakamoto doesnt land well and takes several cuts and slashes as he attempts to gain a foot hold on the creature. He abandons his quest and limps back to the group, where he is scolded for his actions. The party decides its best to return to the Western side of the territory and set up camp to heal from todays combat. AS they reach the Western territory, out of the moss a tall scarecrow looking being springs forward. Its head looks like an insects with two large bug eyes, its body is lanky and looks as though it is made of pieces of other shroom creatures. The Pod creature snatches up the shroom cap friend of the party and takes off with him. The party gives chase and when they catch up to it, they see it descend through a covered entrance into the ground below. Our heroes agree to pursue the pod being to recover their new friend as it is the only attachment they have to this domain and to understanding what is going on.
The trio enter the trap doorway into the ground and descend what seems like a huge depth into the down-under.
When they reach the bottom, they notice a cavernous passageway ahead of them and venture forth. Immediately they are confronted with four of the tall pod beings swaying in the passageway. The pod guards dont seem to react to the party being there. Our heroes decide to try to sneak past them. Success! and they reach an opening into another larger cavernous room. The trio bded down for some mush needed rest, taking turns on watch.

​Session 3 Oct.26.2025
Our intrepid heroes now rested up from their adventures topside, ventur further into the darkness and are confronted by a nasty Shriek Shroom. They successfully kill it, are attacked by another and shrunk it to palm size then packed it in their back pack. Headed south and ran into a narrow passage surrounded by Shroom infected Spore crows. Got right down to the nitty gritty, Lucious is knocked out cold, Sakamoto is dead and Alchemy Pete dispatches two shroom crows before succumbing to the attacks of the third.
Lucious is out cold on the cavern floor. Will he survive the night? Time will tell!

Session 4 Nov.9 2025
Well our one lone hero wakes up from being knocked out and finds two new friends waiting to find out why they are here and what the heck is going on.
Lucious explains that they are on another world different from their homeland and that he is in the process of trying to help a Muchroom domain protect itself from an invading spore infected Mushroom being.
As well, Lucious says that he is in this cavernous area due to the fact that his contact with the mushroom people was snatched and brought down here so he was trying to find it.
The two new heroes are confused but agree to help. Sheriff Pete and Mr. Zeppli have now joined the party and move onward with Lucious to find the Mushroom cap friend.
They venture further south and then east only to be confronted by a group of Nakru[goblins] that are also exploring the caverns. Initially the Nakru seem confused and curious but Mr. Zeppli decides he wants to jump them and try to get past, but fails. This sends the Nakru into a rage and they attack. After almost losing another hero, the trio manage to dispatch the Nakru and move on.
The group decide to bed down and get some rest and lick their wounds.
The next day the heroes enter a larger area and head south only to be surrounded by more Nakru.
After a brief scuffle they run and manage to get away from the beasts.
Our heroes head further south down a narrow corridor and after running for some time they decide to rest again as they dont think the beasts are following. they identify some magic stones, and then decide to bed down again for the evening.
​
Until next time HEROES!!
