Lemon finds herself alone, facing impossible odds against- you guessed- the Fungalganger. Meanwhile, Linus, Uly, and Paris search for answers on a ship that may not be above water for very long. And what if, thrown into the mix, was a legendary warrior, the one Dark Elf cursed-with goodness?? Well who knows what could happen...
Summary[]
Lemon is confronted by The Fungalganger, who had been living off of Oopsy Path. Using the possessed body of a glow pixie, he would use the local crystals to create illusions, making adventurers fall to their deaths. It allowed him to gather powerful bodies while maintaining his reputation of not killing anyone. With its current body decaying, the Fungalganger needs a new pixie body to possess. Lemon dives into an abandoned suit of armor to hide, awakening its enchanted gauntlet Deathglove 009er. Lemon pilots it like a mech to attack the animated corpse.
The others sulk on their ship as Linus and Ulysses bicker over Ulysses not telling his brother about contacting their parents. He considers delivering the ring to the Fungalganger in exchange, but realizes he can’t trust the creature. Paris investigates the captain’s cabin and is surprised to find the body of Odysseus Loam opened up and abandoned like a costume. He scours the captain’s log and finds that he was the saboteur all along. Linus and Ulysses spot several farting cave iguanas floating by, their farts mixing with the water to create an acid. They realize the traitor’s plot and barge downstairs to find Endrizzi Daleearnhardt, the only good dark elf having abandoned his disguise. He explains his plan to use the acid to wipe out Deitopolis and rid The Nethermurk of their evil, but the party can’t risk their loved ones being in the crossfire. An infuriated Endrizzi and his summoned snail mount Slippery Nona attack them, but Paris ends up slicing his throat with a dagger.
Lemon manages to crush the Fungalganger in her gauntlet fist just before Intercourse finds her. He slips off the ledge and dies in front of her, only for his body to be taken over by the Fungalganger. Lemon uses a nearby gemstone to create many illusions of herself and dives into a hole to escape, leading her right to the others. She urges them to stop fighting and catches them up on what she learned. They plan to sneak into Deitopolis to rescue the Burden family when a heavily bleeding Endrizzi offers to guide them in exchange for healing him and landing a blow to the dark elves. Linus insists on going through with it, and after some arguing, Ulysses agrees that he will save Linus’ parents.
