After searching the area just inside the cave entrance, where the stirges attacked, Hunter and Drethen see that the cave continues to the south where it appears to break off into three different chambers. One leads to the north west, one to the north and the final one appears to head more to the south.
Hunter makes a suggestion to check the north one first as everyone has to past by it first. He will help by peering into the entrance first before letting the bigger folk in the party take the lead.
This cave seems filled with a riot of fungus—mushrooms, toadstools, mosses, lichen, and whatnot sprout all around you. The back part of the room is shielded from your view by a rough projection in the wall, forming a kind of alcove. You move till you have a straight line of sight, only to have a strange sight meet your eyes. In the center of the alcove a perfectly spherical creature floats in mid-air like an evil moon. A great toothy maw fills the lower half of the floating head. Above this is a single eye fully a foot across staring fixedly at you. Ten short tentacles, each ending in an eye, move aimlessly atop the creature's body as it begins to drift toward you.
Hunter whispers, "Oh my, I've heard about these creatures they're deadly! Let's leave now before we become its' experiment!" Hunter backs out of the area and around the bend out of the view of the observer.
He intends to wait there a bit to see if it follows. If it doesn't he will suggest taking the west cave.
As soon as everybody is out of sight of the creature, it appears to stop pursuing the party.
Heading into the next cave, the one almost directly west, you find that unlike the other chambers in this cave, this room seems clear of fungus. Only bare walls meet your gaze as you look to right and left.
