51 Cult of the Mush (1/2)
-Mushroom Clergy POV
”Errrrrrrrr (Today marks the first meeting of us Mushroom-folk. As I took the corpse of the metal cow queen I shall lead.” Mushroom leader
”Huuuuurrr (Why don't we have one of the mushroom spiders lead the cult? They have a closer relation to the goddess than us.)” Mushroom mob 1
”Gaha gaha muuuuurrr (*cough *cough, this isn't a cult my good fellow but, a true group that worships our creator and our creator's creator. Although the spiders could technically be called our creator they are just used as a conduit to bring our existence about. So the goddess is the true creator while her creator is like an archgod or something. We are too lowly to worship him though so we can only worship the goddess.)” Mushroom leader
”Deeeeeeeerrr..... (That's kind of a depressing way to put it.) Mob 2
”Seeeeerr (How are we lowly creatures? We even developed a method of communication.)” Mob 3
”Gahuuuuurrrr (Well, we were created through his and her resource. Without their existence we will cease to exist. For those of you that don't know why we should have a religion, It's not like we have any other motivations in our existence so, why not create one? Onto another matter.... The beast has stolen our newborn brethren from our flock. The goddess tried to reason with the beast but, in the end had to concede. Although we are allied with the beast, we can't let this fly. So we shall get advice from the fiery ones on matters of 'pranks'.)” Mushroom leader
”Pluuuuuuurrr (Shouldn't we think of a name before anything else? I thought of a good one. Cult of the Mush, good right?)” Mob 2
All the other mobs nod
”Gaha gaha tuuuuuuuuuurrr (*Cough *cough, Lets make it Path of the Mush, Right.)
Thus the Cult(path) of Mush is born.

Gin POV-
I woke up to see Nemesis' zombies having a meeting. One even has a stand made of mushrooms that it beats on like a certain old world dictator. Wow. I didn't expect the greater intelligence from the human/fungal aspect to have this effect. I get up to realize that I'm the only one here (besides the mushroom people). I go down a couple corridors and find Vulki slouched over a map. I made mention to her, Nemesis, and Set about the way we will go forward from here. Vulki has told me before that the drow are 'inherently' bad which made me.... Pity them? Not quite.... Anyways, I've decided to go on the offense against some of them. Nemesis has told me a few tidbits of information though. Apparently a group of drow wants to be subordinated by me. They believe me to be their 'saint'. I have heard of them before but I didn't expect to have any relevance to them....
A meeting has been set up by nemesis. I'll leave the matter to her. I doubt they could hurt her. Why is that? Well because of her health. I wondered why it was represented by question marks in her status so I did some questioning. Apparently, her consciousness can manifest in any of her subordinates which can then morph their bodies into a new one for her. So, they could attack her but, it won't do any good as she could just abandon it for another. This sounds incredible but the process can take around a day. On top of that the original consciousness has to be willing to give themselves up. Who would do something like that?
Rather than an ability, this is more of a racial characteristic of mushroom-creatures. Similar to Kess' metal body, the volatile nature of Xelu's eldritch flesh,and the non-solid bodies of Vulki and Set.

”So what kind of strategy do you want to use. Full on slaughter? Kill all adults? Those that fight back?” Vulki
