Hello DMs, I am currently running a campaign in which the party are lost underground and about to stumble upon a settlement/ tribe of Myconids.
Being Neutral I expect the tribe to offer safety and possibly help the party surface but before doing so I’d like to offer the party the chance to take part in a meld (hallucination experienced by multiple beings sharing one consciousness).
The question I have is has anyone used this before or how would you tackle it?
My thoughts so far are:
1: Use this as a good excuse to have a one shot or completely unrelated session using the characters already created (death and consequences not an issue) maybe even an Xmas special.
2: play it out as a series of very short bizarre scenes, being in other forms, seeing life from other perspectives etc
3: multiple scenes but of relevant information, viewing experiences from those involved in the meld.
I love the hallucination concept, the only thing I’m worried about is if it is too close to that of the Sequioa of Remembrence from Tal’dorie campaign which was used to tease PCs backstories through sporadic visions relatively recently in this campaign.
My hope is that the session can be used to give some PCs some sort of learning experience.
Really appreciate any advice or knowledge on past sessions of a similar context, thanks team!
