The Sporeknife Mystery

Deep in the fungal dim of the Spiral Hollow, amongst the pulsing cap-beds and psychic dew pools, a body was found: Dap Scumblethwick, a mid-tier court mushroom-sommelier with a penchant for whisperleaf gin and scandalous toadmilk poetry.

He was discovered inside a giant puffcap, sliced open from below, spores clotted with black ichor and bits of golden thread.

Found his mouth: a wax-sealed note reading, “The Sporacle forgets nothing.”

Next to the body: a Sporeknife, an illegal weapon known to cause hallucinations of one’s own murder before it happens.

The Suspects:

Lady Phlegmarina, who was last seen arguing with Dap over the non-consensual fermentation of her private thoughts.

Squire Mibbone, a young guard recently demoted to Spore Vat cleaning after losing a game of “Goblin Bones” to the Bramble Duke.

A fungus that calls itself “Grunth the Witness”, which has grown eyes but refuses to speak unless sung to in the dialect of rot.

The Twist:

The murder appears to have occurred three days in the future. Doctor Thorne confirmed this after dissecting Dap’s “time-rot lobe” and discovering residual chronotoxin—a substance only found in Drumdarkian eel minds.

Mayor Thrumm has been invited to court for questioning. The palace trembles in anticipation….
