Over the past year, spore packets and other trade goods have gone missing in Mycircleum, often from the markets, but from the homes and shelters of residents, as well.
The community initially placed blame on the troublemaker, Grub and his lackeys, known as they are for excessively choosing leisure over their duties.
Determined to “save his good name,” Grub investigated and discovered the culprits to be a collection of cultivated spores from years past that seem to have formed a number of anthropomorphic motile networks to lift materials from the unwary.
By way of apology, the Elders suggested Grub name these newly discovered lifeforms. He chose to call them “Spore Children.”
Seen as something of a blessing from Gaia, these silent mycelial kleptomaniacs have continued to grow in number, taking seemingly innocuous items from wherever they please. Some residents continue to question with a wink and nudge if Grub has been coaching them, or perhaps, the other way around?
In a recent development that is curious bordering on alarming, the Spore Children have been witnessed placing several items inside of a kind of primitive ritual circle in different areas surrounding Mycircleum. The day following each ritual, the circle has become one of purple mushrooms, scented like lavender.
