...but if it continues, it could result in something like the Sorrow of Brusthonin, when...

Oh, your character! I was just thinking about you!

I may be an archaeologist, but I also have interest in biology. Did you notice the Fungies around here?

There have been reports of a strain of Fungies never seen before, not even in the seminal "Mushroomer's Guide," which says that in the fall...

Ah, pardon, no time for this. I think these new Fungies might be the result of Drana contamination. But I must be sure.

If I could compare Moss Fungie Remains and Infected Fungie Remains, I could find the cause--perhaps even halt it!

Good, good. You should find Moss Fungie Remains or Infected Fungie Remains in good numbers; they don't seem to get along.

In the meantime, I'll start devising ways to examine what you bring back. If I decant a two percent solution of Rokathi serum into a...

Hmm, it's a shame. I could send Jecasti, but she insists on remaining by my side to guard me.

I'm sure something else will come up. Oh, but if the base derived gelatin fully dissolves in eighty five seconds, that means...

It's turning green! Green! So I was right! The tertiary characteristics are obviously synchronized with...

Oh, you're back! Did you succed in finding Moss Fungie Remains and Infected Fungie Remains?

Splendid! I love progress, don't you?

While you were away, I had progress of my own. Just wait a moment, and I'll be able to test my hypothesis.

Now, I just need to dissect the outer stem and brush with this Karnif marrow paste while I...

I'm afraid this is entirely insufficient. I need enough Fungie samples to work with, not to mention make the proper comparisons.

Let me know when you have enough. Now, according to the Jemiah guide, ambient temperature is inversely related to...

...if the catalyst gives off 1.2 grams of effluvia... Yes! Success!

See these spores? The treatment I gave them will result in Drana-resistant Fungies that will spread that resistance to others.

Spray this on the Fungie Patch near the big Fungie tree and report back. Whatever happens should happen right away.

So the Fungies grew up right away? And healthy? Marvelous! I knew as soon as I saw the Mallian reaction that...

Oh, I forgot to mention that there's one more problem--Pampam.

Its contamination is too strong. As long as it is alive, it will infect more Fungies. It must be destroyed.

So, if the spores spread at a rate of 150 meters a day, and the wind comes out of the west-northwest at...

Ah! I assume Pampam is no more?

Fantastic! It shouldn't take long for the local Fungies to become hale and healthy again.

You have been a vital help to me, your character. Please accept this token of my esteem.

Now I can concentrate on Marayas again. If their agriculture peaked in the third year, then their mill design must have...

1. Gather the Moss Fungie Remains and Infected Fungie Remains and take them to Farbin.

   Withered Fungie Carcass x10, Variant Fungie Carcass x10

2. Talk with Farbin.

3. Spray the Fungie Spore Liquid on the Fungie Patch near the big Fungie tree.

4. Talk with Farbin.

5. Destroy Pampam .

6. Report the result to Farbin.

Farbin fears Drana is contaminating Fungies. Help his efforts to keep the contamination from spreading.

Farbin said Drana energy in the area may be causing the growth of infected Fungies.

After comparing normal and contaminated Fungie carcasses you gathered, he developed a Drana-resistant strain of Fungie spore, which you tested.

The test was a success, but a Fungie called Pampam would still create Fungie infections unless stopped. You killed the giant mushroom, and Farbin congratulated you, saying the Fungies should soon return to normal.
