They are the natural result of decay that grows in dark damp places.OOC: Phar's Knowledge (Nature) check >> 1d20+8=21Caerth can tell that the fungi are not dangerous beyond what is normal for such fungi. Eating them would be deadly but they aren't unnatural for such a place as this cluttered room.Aureus pulls a large cloth out of her pack and ties it around her snout. She moves down the path to where Stout has stopped. She pats the badger on its head and begins to carefully search through some of the nearby clutter. In the mass of worn furniture, piles of firewood, old clothes and rusted weapons, and frayed blankets, she finds mainly more clutter underneath including a block and tackle, old frayed rope, a barrel of stagnant water, an iron pot, broken lanterns, a worn tarp held down with stones, and half-a-dozen rat skeletons.Aureus finds something else in the mass too. A small sack with a red "X" painted on the side. She calls Phar over to take a look at the bag, which has been chewed open by something, likely rats.As Phar approaches, she quickly waves him back after spotting something out of the corner of her eye."A pit," she says to him. "Hidden there. Under that."Phar and the others can see that Aureus is pointing to the tarp that had been half-concealed by a pile of old clothes. It is torn near the edges and a circle of small, set stones can be seen just under it.Aureus steps toward it carefully and finds the edge of the pit. She checks her footing near the edge, as she removes one of the stones holding the tarp in place."Deep," she says. "Water is foul. Step carefully."The dogwoman uncovers the rest of the pit which turns out to be a well. It's edge is a six-inch high stone lip made from loosely fitted rocks. If anyone had stumbled onto the tarp they would have likely fallen into the brackish water below along with the tarp and several of the edge stones."Nasty trap," Aureus adds.OOC: Aureus' Search check >> 1d20+13=21</blockquote>
