Go for the mushroom

Well, not sure if it will one up whatever Gilly has but it’s worth a shot.

You grab the mushroom and separate it from the ground. The stalk snaps quietly as you hold the large piece of fungus in your hands.

Did it… just move in my hands?

The mushroom shudders slightly as if in disapproval of you picking it.

Eww, creepy.

You disregard it as you make you way back to the pool. Sliding into the pool, Petra hurries over to you. It doesn’t seem like Gilly has returned yet.

“Iyda! What did you grab for me?” She spots your closed hands as she reaches outwards to receive your gift. The mushroom shudders once more in your grasp before you place it in her hands. Petra’s eyebrows raise in surprise.

“A mushroom? Hm never seen one like this before… What is it?”

“Dunno, figured you might use in a spell or a potion or somethin.”

“Alchemy isn’t really my thing but…”

She is interrupted as the mushroom shudders violently releasing a cloud of spores. You and Petra cough and sputter as you wave the air in front of you.

“Gross.” Petra says coughing.

The approaching sound of bare feet on rock interrupts your coughing fit.
