Paul DMing, Scott: Smudge (shadar-kai rogue 8 / barbarian 2) and Martin (duergar cleric 10); Ed: temporarily running Godzilla "T-Hex" Hercules (dragonborn warlock 10); Dane: Tudo Fleck (dwarf cleric 10).
Last time, the party finsihed exploring the evil gnome's lair and started exploring the nearby lightning tower.
Smudge's owl familiar investigates the alcove of mirrors in the basement workshop.
Another owl comes out of the mirror and melts into Smudge's familiar. The familiar makes a Charisma save and permanently gains 1hp. The owl looks in mirror two and makes a Constitution save. The own gains inspiration.
Tudo begins to ritually detects magic.
T-Hex steps into the alcove and looks in mirror four. T-Hex makes a Charisma save and permanently gains 4 hp. He closes his eyes and steps out of the alcove.
Tudo announces that all the mirrors radiate magic:
T-Hex steps into the alcove again and looks in mirror one. T-Hex fails a constitution save and collapses to the floor. Tudo, without looking into any mirrors, drags T-Hex out of the alcove.
Smudge's owl looks in mirror five. The owl makes a Charisma saving throw. The mirror seems like a normal mirror that shows the owl's reflection.
T-Hex looks enters the alcove and looks in mirror five. He makes a Charisma saving throw. The mirror seems like a normal mirror.
Tudo examines the table with blood vials, a microscope, and a box of slides. Tudo looks at one of the slides under the microscope. He notices that the blood sample on the slide radiates necromantic magic. Tudo makes a Wisdom saving throw.
Smudge takes a vial of blood. Tudo takes the microscope.
Smudge tries to putting Bardas's skull in front of mirror four with mage hand. Nothing happens.
T-Hex listens at the door to the south and heard tortured moaning.
Smudge opens the door and steps into the room. Four ghosts charge Smudge.
Smudge, T-Hex, Martin, and Tudo make quick work of the ghosts. The ghosts evaporate.
The party checks the prison cells Most are empty. One contains a human cadaver, another contains a skeleton with fifteen arms.
T-Hex enters the cell with the cadaver and searches the body. The cadaver's jaw cracks open and a slug flies out and wriggles completely up T-Hex's nose.
T-Hex, trying to kill or block the brain slug, chops his own face with a hand axe, taking 22 damage.
Martin casts sleep on T-Hex's head.
T-Hex squeezed his arcane eye up his own nose. He thinks he sees the sleeping slug very far up his own nose.
T-Hex dimension doors himself and Tudo a few feet. The slug (not dimension doored) drops out of the air onto the floor.
Tudo heals T-Hex's face.
Tudo speak with dead on the fifteen-armed skeleton.
The party returns decides to explore other floors in the tower. The elevator is small enough that it can only carry two people at a time. Tudo and Smudge set the elevator's dial to "1" and decend smoothly to a rectangular room. Several wooden chests line the far wall, but there's a strange, reflexctive blue haze in the air, almost like a translucent wall.
Enemies defeated: four ghosties, a brain slug
Treasure: a vial of blood, a microscope
