He took them to a clearing that was still in the middle of summer. After a few minutes in the area, though, the party passed out from the spores spewed by a fungal horn. When they woke up, they had been turned into their normal human selves! After a bunch of experimentation, they figured out that if they left the area, they would go back to being pone. It was all an illusion!<br />&#160;<br />The crew agreed, with the exception of Booze Hound and Spark Chaser, that this area was no good, and they began leaving. As they did, the fungus that was causing this broke open and died. Underneath it was a scroll by an unknown writer, that detailed this fungus, called an Ophiochordyceps Communus <span class="br0">&#40;</span>or Holiday Horn<span class="br0">&#41;</span>. It also suggested that the Horn was at one time mutated into the horns on the giant bugs during the &quot;Tower Defense&quot; quest.<br />&#160;<br />After much discussion on the medical concerns with this fungus, the players returned home.<br />&#160;<br />-------------------------------------------------------Logs<br />00:<span class="nu0">34</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; Last Time on My Little Pony: The Human Condition...</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">35</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Curiosity<span class="co4">&gt; [owwie lemon, muh feelings ]</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">35</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Lemon_Drop<span class="co4">&gt; [it was actually a window]</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">35</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; The heroes survived the nightmare and fought of the darkness within Broken.</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">36</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; Broken, from their help, discovered his true self, and became Spark Chaser.

His eyes were red and his mane was unkempt. He rubbed the crust from his eyes, then went over to his work station. What was on the agenda today? More paper?</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">37</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; Sparky looked up at the map that he had pinned to the wall. That's right, he had planned to update the town's maps today. The Farmlands had to split off at their own district, since new farms were being built in the eastern area past the river.</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">38</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; He had also found this strange clearing in the forest in the south end of Heartshire. A clearing of eternal summer. A thought occurred to him. Able, being a lover of all things strange and unexplained, would love to explore and analyze it.</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>00:<span class="nu0">38</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; And that brought him to a most wonderful idea.

What did it say about it splitting open?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:07<span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Where did we get the whole 7 months thing?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:08<span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;What 7 months thing?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:08<span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Oh. Several months, I mean.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:09<span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Able, why do you think this could kill us?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">10</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Because that's what Orphiochordyceps does. We had stuff like that in the Old World.

Well, are you really sure it works the same way here in Equestria? I mean, spiders and insects don't have long lifespans anyway.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">11</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;But what was the species name? It may be different from what we have... had in the old world.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">12</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;I think Sun said... Communus? Like... in communication?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">12</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;We can link our minds?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">13</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Able_Tome<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;... or it can change our behavior pattern.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">13</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> �* SunShower has stopped in her trot ahead of them, waiting for the group to catch up, or at least Able, &quot;Or it can't do it at all, and it will simply die off. Immune systems are a big deal.&quot;<br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">13</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;In a way, we just did. We saw things we didn't know about each other. That information was... communicated.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">14</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Back on Earth, cordyceps was a thing... collective term for various infectious funguses that were 'zombie spores' that took over things like ants and grasshoppers.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">14</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;True, Sun.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">14</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Having flashbacks to Resident Evil 4 now... fuck everything.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;And in our new bodies with a good diet, we should have pretty solid immune systems... I hope.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Hardboil<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;This better not turn us into zombies.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;But that only works because they have poor immune systems. Larger, more complex organisms have extremely complicated and robust immune and nervous systems, making them harder to effect, which is why no more advanced form of cordyceps fungus ever evolved to work on anything like an actual mammal.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> �* Hardboil is comforted slightly by Sun's words<br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;... And Able, when you saw those, before, they were bugs, right? I mean, big bugs, but still.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">15</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;So... we should be immune?&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">16</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Able_Tome<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;-Might be- immune at best. Can't be certain without full analysis.&quot;, he says and glances at Sun with a nod, &quot;They were, yes.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">16</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Able_Tome<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Ands and a large spider who retained sentience.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">16</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;�Could� be. This is also some kind of telepathic fungus designed to make use of larger organisms with complex brain structures, in some way, otherwise it wouldn't have whatever mechanism that was for accessing specific memories and trying to use them to get us to stay in area.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">16</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;Spark_Chaser<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Giant termites and a giant spider... it could talk...&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">18</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Thus it is most likely somehow magic, and this place is much more... biologically advanced, magically, in many ways, than anything we could've seen back on Earth.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">18</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;However, the name... the name is what gets me.&quot;</span><br /><span class="br0">&#91;</span>03:<span class="nu0">18</span><span class="br0">&#93;</span> &lt;SunShower<span class="co4">&gt; &quot;Ophiocordyceps.
