The Glowcap Hollow

Custom Level 10 Grade 3

The Glowcap Hollow: a glowing mushroom grotto under the lowlands, the second dungeon for new players after the Pirate Cave. The Sporekin and their neighbours shoot slow, bright spores and draw every slam on the floor before it lands. Old Stinkhorn guards the Root Lever that opens the short way north; Mother Mycel waits in her bower at the top, and every one of her attacks is announced by a coloured flash and a line first. Trash drops T2-T4, the caches and Old Stinkhorn T3-T5, the Mother T5-T6 and the Lanterncap Ring.

Chance per kill. A shared bag is one roll for everyone. An own bag is rolled separately for every player who did at least that share of the damage, and only they see it: soulbound items and everything that comes in a cyan or better bag drop this way. A tier row splits its chance over every item of that tier. Loot rules

Enemies

Enemy	HP	DEF	Hits up to	On map	Notes
Mother Mycel	7,500	6	40	1	Mother Mycel, the Glowcap Queen, the oldest cap in the hollow. Three phases; before every attack she flashes its colour and says so: teal for the spore rings, amber for the thrown caps, violet for the spiral, white for the lunge.
Root Lever	10,000	0	–	1	The Root Lever behind Old Stinkhorn. Walk onto it: it creaks over and the Mycelium Gate in the north passage of the Lantern Pool withers, the short way to the Mother.
Old Stinkhorn	4,000	5	30	1	Old Stinkhorn, the mini-boss in his grotto east of the Lantern Pool. Two phases.
Stalk Brute	800	6	45	3	The farms' guard. Slow, sturdy, a fan of three spores; and it slams the floor where you stand twice, then once harder: the amber circles show where.
Spore Cache	500	0	–	3	A fat puffball stuffed with what the Sporekin found, in the side pockets. Never fights back.
Puffcap	400	4	18	7	A puffball in the farm beds. Never moves; when you come near it puffs rings of spores, each ring turned half a gap from the last. Walk through the gaps.
Hollow Toad	350	2	14	4	Fat on glowcaps. Crouches, hops at you, and spits a puddle of spores that stings for a few seconds.
Budding Cap	300	0	15	summoned	Grows round the Mother while she fruits. Puffs a slowly turning ring until it is cut down.
Sporeling	150	0	15	13	Shuffles at you and spits one slow spore at a time. Pops into a ring of spores when it dies: step back first.
Lumen Moth	100	0	12	7	Drawn to the glow. Flutters a few tiles off and flicks a fan of three amber spores at you.
