[ Astarion doesn't get the chance to parry Gale's stammering. By the time he's sheathed his dagger, there's a rumble beneath their feet, the ground suddenly unstable.
They'd wandered right into a mushroom circle, and Astarion's harmless little slice triggered a reaction, the mushrooms starting to burst. He registers it only as the earth opens beneath them, and he and Gale fall through.
Thankfully, it's not a long way down. Astarion's back hits something surprisingly soft, and he coughs through a cloud of shimmering spores and rock dust as he attempts to roll to his side, only to register that Gale is on top of him and the space they've landed in is relatively narrow. Filled with more of those mushrooms to cushion their fall, and they glow a soft purple in slow pulses to light the dark hole they're now stuck in.
Astarion doesn't think he hit his head, but he feels dizzy, slightly disoriented. The spores taste strange, sweet and sticky in the back of his throat as he coughs again, pushing at Gale's shoulder. ]
