You
Hail, Sporeweaver Underveil.
I welcome you to the depths of Sporehaven Karst, [class]. Our myconids are of no threat under normal circumstances, though it appears something has tampered with the latest strain.
You say
You enter
/say Strain?
I cannot say for certain what is causing the aggression in our latest strain, but I do have my suspicion. They seem to get riled when the sun sets and a mysterious foam builds along the riverbanks of the Karst.
You say
You enter
/say Foam?
I have discovered traces of the mysterious foam caught in the gills of some of our myconid children, though I have not yet procured enough to get an understanding of what it truly is.
Should a myconid become enthralled by the substance, they soon begin sending out messages of warning through the nerve structures of their surrounding kin, riling them into a defensive frenzy.
I am loathe to ask this of you, stranger, but I am not strong enough to bring low any of my children. Would you be able to take a stand against my beguiled creations?
You say
You enter
/say I will take a stand.
Sporeweaver Underveil lets out a sad breath, nodding in understanding.
Then I entrust the deed to you. Seek out my beguiled children here in the Karst; the bluecaps appear to be the most susceptible at night.
Cull what you must to procure a section of their gills that shimmers with traces of the prismatic foam. Bring what you find to me, so I can save what remains of our latest strain.
Sporeweaver Underveil lowers his head somberly.

Your faction standing with Naelira's Court got worse.
Sporeweaver Underveil accepts the gills with a frown.
Such a waste of a beatiful strain. I understand why it had to be done, but this goes against the balance of the Weald. My poor children were never meant to be enthralled by something not of this world.
Which is precisely what this magic resembles... the machinations of the naiads. I had my suspicions, but this evidence you brought me confirms them.
They have tainted the river with their influence. To what end, I care not. I only ask, will you provide me the opportunity to avenge my fallen kin?
Sporeweaver Underveil clasps his hands to yours, placing a small glass phial into your palm as he stares intently at you.
Game
You receive Underveil's phial from Sporeweaver Underveil.

You enter

Sporeweaver Underveil lets out a sigh of relief.
Thank you, stranger. Enter the domain of the naiads and use what force or guile is necessary to reach the pools that dwell within.
Rumors tell of their ability to enthrall beings of pure water. If these rumors hold true, I need you to collect at least four samples of this enchanted water so that I can study it and develop a countermeasure for my own creations.
Do this for me, and you will have the eternal gratitude of the Circle of Spores. I wish you luck, stranger.
