Infection: When a creature inhales a Deepshroom Hive’s cloud of spores, it becomes infected with Deepshroom Poisoning.

• Day 1: Become Demoralized.
• Day 2: Become Shaken.
• Day 3: Become Sickened.
• Days 4-6: Gain Fatigue.
• Day 7: The creature dies.

Treatment: Curing Deepshroom Poisoning requires one or more INT/Medicine checks. Each check must include herbs and medicinal salves worth at least 30 sc each, which the process consumes. A creature cannot receive more than 1 check per 12 hours. When a creature makes this check, note the numerical result and add it to any previous checks from this instance of Deepshroom Poisoning. When the numerical results reach a cumulative total of 30, the infection is cured.
