Running Fungal Decomposer

Prepare the scene

A mound of fungus shifts against the fallen trunk. Pale tendrils withdraw, leaving the wood behind them dark and soft.

A mobile growth of fungus drags tendrils through dead leaves and rotting wood. Its slow work becomes dangerous when living travelers crowd too close.

Establish the surroundings, each participant’s position, and what the party can perceive before resolving the encounter. Use the current core rules for surprise and turn order when combat begins.

Run the profile

Use the following source instructions for the encounter’s actions and effects.

Present the counterplay

Avoid spores by keeping distance; living bodies do not fuel its recovery. The legacy description is empty.

Make the relevant behavior or environmental clues perceptible through the scene so the party can act on them.
