Senshi
This unexplored level is perfect for rare ingredients! My sources say there's a type of luminous fungi that only grows in these depths.
Senshi
Imagine the flavor profile! Sweet but with an earthy undertone that would complement any monster meat!
Marcille
These growth patterns suggest high moisture content in the surrounding stone. We should proceed with caution.
Marcille
Beautiful specimens, though. The ecosystem down here has developed quite independently.
Chilchuck
Ground feels strange here. Almost... sticky in patches.
Chilchuck
Let's not forget we're here to survive, not just find Senshi's next cooking experiment.
Senshi
There! Look there! Blue luminescence between those rocks! It's them!
Senshi
(The legendary Sapphire Caps! Their flavor is said to change depending on which monster you pair them with!)
Senshi
(Just a bit further... I can almost reach them...)
Marcille
Senshi, wait! Don't you think it's strange that such prized ingredients would be so easily accessible?
Marcille
In my experience, nothing valuable comes without—
Senshi
Got it! Look at this perfect specimen! The glow is even stronger up close!
Senshi
It smells like... wait, it's almost like sweet honey mixed with—
Chilchuck
SENSHI! Above you!
Chilchuck
The ceiling is moving!
Senshi
What the—?!
Marcille
Luminous Lure Slimes! They use the mushrooms as bait!
Marcille
Don't let them surround you—they're not lethal individually, but en masse they can engulf a person!
Chilchuck
They're blocking our exit route! And they're coming from every crevice!
Chilchuck
(Of course we'd end up surrounded because of a mushroom...)
Senshi
I'm not letting go of this ingredient! It's too rare!
Senshi
Wait... have you noticed they're following the mushroom more than attacking us?
Chilchuck
He's right! They're drawn to the light! It's not us they want—it's the mushroom!
Chilchuck
Senshi, can you break off pieces without damaging the whole thing?
Marcille
Look there! That depression in the floor—it appears to be a natural drainage point for the cavern!
Marcille
If we could lure the slimes there, we might be able to collect our prize and escape unharmed!
Senshi
I'll break off small pieces. The cell structure should maintain luminescence even when separated from the main body.
Senshi
Tims, you're the most nimble. Can you create a trail to the pit?
