To be clear, are you leaving Ulster's Anti-Plant Shell area (20' diameter)?

Ulster follows Algrim. "Come on. Let's stay together,"he tells the others.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes proceeds, careful to stay within the sphere, but anxious to chop something.

The party moves down the dark corridor. Sometimes you'd see a flicker of something ahead but you can't know for sure. The anti-plant shield forcing Fido along with you. You think you might have heard a door close ahead, but you can't know for sure in the cacophony.

Image

You pass a door (requiring a black keycard) and stop just beyond it, some eyeing it suspiciously while others look down the halls at your newfound intersection. (You are roughly at the red X in the map) More shrooms grow in the corridor east, you can still hear the shrieking of their relatives to the west.

You see no plant-men.

Dieter - Mage

I wonder... maybe whatever is shadowing us went in that room? Gesturing toward the black key card room. I have magics that might get us through the door without a key...

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes nods at Dieter's suggestion. "I'm with Deets. Let's check it out." He taps the shaft of wave on the ground anxiously.

The black keycard opens the door.

Image

Inside are four of the plant men. One stands on a moldy dresser and speaks in a demanding voice. He seems to be talking to you all.

Algrim keeps a not threatening posture shield and spear at the ready but standing more like a guard on duty than an army ready to attack. "Anyone understand what there tryin ta tell us?"

"Nope," says Ulster sadly. "If I had another day...but we can't wait another day."

Dieter - Mage

Dieter makes sure they see the doggy thing, hoping it might keep them calm. Nodding at Ulster's statement: Ja, I don't speak plant...

Dieter notes that the doggy thing is ready to pounce and that at least two plant men are eyeing it with something akin to suspicion...

"No idea what they be sayin'," Dandy says. "Now, if'n they were dead, I could speak with 'em, Belenus willing." He chuckles to himself and keeps an eye on the things, Whelm ready.

Grimes - Fighter

Grimes shakes his head and with a characteristic eye roll, he nods at the shouting plant guy and starts gesticulating, waving his shield and wave around and says loudly: "BLARGH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLARGH HOOTSIE TOOTSIE! MAAAAAAH!" Then he smiles and chortles like the oaf he is.

The plant man leader, as far as you can tell, seems taken aback by what Grimes yells. He pauses for a moment and then shouts instructions to a subordinate who immediately rummages through the mess in the corner. A bit of metal with wires dangling is retrieved and passed to the leader. He holds it in front of his face and says something in his own strange language. A second's delay and the metal thing says:

"BLARGH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLARGH HOOTSIE TOOTSIE! MAAAAAAH!"

The leader then appears to wait for a response.

Algrim "What n the hell are yah sayin? Grimes what language is that yer usin?" the dwarf looks confused and yet somehow perplexed that the creatures are able to speak with Grimes in his gibberish language.

Castinus laughs. "Go ahead, Grimes. Now say something in common. I hope you're as eloquent in your own tongue as you are in, um, authentic plant gibberish."
These are ghouls. They hang out in graveyards, they have long tongues, and they eat people.
"Oh, well, that could be helpful!"
