i joined a campaign with some folks several years ago a little after they had started
i was told that our main guide had been inflicted with a fungus related ailment early in the adventure, but had recovered
i never trusted the guy in game because i was convinced he was a spore person that i'd wake up one night to find him perched over the party on a limb, white-eyed, with a stalk protruding out of his forehead snowing spores down on the sleeping party
