The Students of Life and Death fought against the mushroom monstrosity liviing beneath Jemenda and emerged victorious.
They followed the underground tunnel to a court in which the crime lord Penelo made her home. She was surrounded by individuals with whom she'd formed a connection through tendrils of mycelian organic matter, causing all of them to speak as one.
She negotiated with the Students, claiming they could have Sprocket back, but Val had been given over to the Order of Last Rites, who were taking her to Muja's Respite out in the desert.
Penelo would go into no more detail, but Venga, who had come down with the group, wanted nothing more than to find the Order of Last Rites and destroy them, so the Students figured it would be prudent to make haste in retrieving Val from their clutches.
They exited the underground lair back into Jemenda's streets, and made ready to pursue.
