Delving In The Dungeon: Part 6 “down and dirty fighting”
After a short delay, during which Periwinkle, Erasmus and Knute lit up some torches, you head off down the left hand tunnel. The marching order is the same as earlier.
As you move down the passage, the earthy smell in the air gets stronger. Everyone has a weapon at the ready and Fergus is muttering “Damn…I know that smell…”. The passage walls are still pretty clean and definitely built by humanoids, but now you see small areas of ground water leakage and molds/algae/slime on the walls.
And then two things happen…
Fergus says “I’ve got it! Shambling Mound! That’s the smell!”
3 seconds later, a 7 foot tall vaguely humanoid shape steps out of the darkness in front of you. It looks to be made of soil, compost, leaves, twigs and moss. It makes a sort of gurgling squishy sound. It has big red pupiless eyes. It’s moving with surprising speed.
It’s a Shambling Mound alright, and it seems to be upset by your presence.
Shit’s on now, mates!
