Hey! Where's everybody go? Kaelyn? Gboy? We could use your input for sure!
Was thinking about our scenerio here a bit more. Cutting down the mushrooms might be a little tricky for all saves the Druid, as my PC only has blunt weapons, Gboy's guy only has daggers (which Almerin has already stated don't cut through these shrooms well), and Kaelyn's PC has a combo of blunt and daggers.
One thought I had was having my guy cast Summon Monster and summon some hippogriffs for us to ride over the pool of black gunk. I can only summon 1d3 of them and they only last for 8 rounds, so there's a good chance of us getting stuck over there.
Of course the Druid could wildshape into a Dire Bat and take us back, one by one... Could also take us there one by one.
What are some of your guys' thoughts?
