Indigo Reverie Mushrooms
This colony of magically mutated mushrooms reacts to vibration, heat, and sudden movement by ejecting a dense cloud of hallucinogenic spores. The cloud disorients intruders, stains their vision with false colors, and briefly causes nearby stone formations to appear to move. The hazard is most memorable when the party realizes that the glowing spores are beautiful only until they begin breathing them.
Indigo Reverie Mushrooms
Defenses
Detection
“A low cluster of indigo mushrooms grows from cracks in the cavern floor and walls. Their caps have translucent veins that pulse with dim violet light. When disturbed, the mushrooms release glittering blue spores that hang in the air like dust beneath moonlight.”
Standard Engagement
A creature enters the colony's area, deals damage to a mushroom, or causes a loud impact within 10 feet of the colony.
When triggered, the mushrooms release a 10-foot burst of spores. Creatures in the area attempt the Hallucinogenic Spore Cloud save. The spores linger until the end of the next round, and the area is concealed to creatures more than 5 feet away. The hazard then becomes inactive until it resets.
The colony resets after 10 minutes if at least one mushroom remains undisturbed. If all visible mushrooms are removed but the central mycelial knot is not neutralized, new caps emerge after 1 hour.
The creature inhales a cloud of mutagenic spores. It must attempt a DC 18 Fortitude save. Critical Success: The creature is unaffected. Success: The creature is dazzled for 1 round. Failure: The creature is dazzled for 1 minute and stupefied 1 for 1 minute. Critical Failure: The creature is dazzled for 1 minute, stupefied 1 for 10 minutes, and confused for 1 round.
The colony occupies a 10-foot-by-10-foot area. Its spore cloud affects all creatures in the burst, including creatures that triggered the hazard. The cloud does not pass through sealed containers or solid barriers.
While the spore cloud lingers, creatures in the area cannot use the Seek action to determine the location of creatures more than 5 feet away unless they have an appropriate nonvisual precise sense.
