Mairmei Mushroom

A rare psychedelic alchemy mushroom the changelings use to drug and mind-control their gnome hostage.

Story so far

Mairmei Mushrooms are an unfamiliar alchemy-material fungus Carl loots from the basement desk beneath Hump Town's city hall; the system describes them only as "quite the trip." Mordecai has never seen this strain and takes the batch to study. Their significance becomes clear when Henrik admits the changelings have been feeding them raw to the gnome hostage Wynne as a mind-control drug — many mushrooms have this unreliable secondary effect — to force his compliance with the collateral ritual. Wynne, however, had grown a tolerance, requiring ever-larger doses, which is part of why the scheme was failing.

Appearance

A batch of small mushrooms of a strain new even to Mordecai, catalogued by the system as an alchemy material.

Role

A mind-control alchemy ingredient central to the changelings' drugging of their hostage.

Relationships

Wynne — The gnome hostage the changelings drugged with these to force his cooperation.
Mordecai — The alchemist studying the unfamiliar strain for its uses.
