C10. Ambassador Of The Mushroom

PEOPLE: This is a third guest room, but unlike C8 and C9 this room is occupied. The door is locked from the inside. If the PCs knock the door will open, unless there have been sounds of violence outside. If the door does open: The room contains a couple double beds, a chair, and a nightstand upon which is a single candle. In the middle of the room stands a bright orange, 3-foot tall mushroom. This enormous mushroom has short, stubby arms and legs. Its eyes stare at you with something like trepidation. This creature is a mushroom man (see New Monsters at the end). It is assigned to represent its nation, the Mushroom People, to the Brugh. The mushroom man is peace-loving and will only fight if attacked. He cannot communicate The room has no treasure. In the drawer of the nightstand is a copy of Goodbody’s Book of Prayer, with all references to the deity redacted in black ink. Mushroom Man: AC 13, HD 3, #At 1 claw or spores, Dam 1d6 or spores (see below), Mv 40’, Sv F3, ML 7, XP 145 The spores attack require everyone in a 10-foot radius to save vs. Poison or face effects similar to a confusion spell.
