This room is filled with all sorts of dusty furniture, shelves and tables. On the west wall hangs an ornate gold mirror. To the North and South are two large (and solid) stone doors. Neither door will so much as budge. Large tapestries hang on the walls, dusty but in good condition. They show old drow scenes. Times of toil beneath the surface, kneeling for a matriarch of some sort and battles against dwarves. Everything in the room is reflected perfectly by the mirror with the exception of the party. The reflections are waving frantically trying to get the parties attention. There seems to be some items of value tucked away in random nooks.

Atlas walks up to the mirror and tries decipher what he and the rest of the group are trying to tell them. In doing so he also touches the mirror surface to see if it is solid. "Can you talk to us or do we have to play charades? I assume you're trying to warn us about something dangerous that is about to happen to us?"
Looking back over his shoulder Atlas tries to find Mack, "Mack, could you pick up those valuables? Don't want to risk falling in a pit without at least taking some of the treasure with us. Maybe someone can see if there's anything magical included?"

Still cautious, Beordir waits inside the short hallway, looking into the room, but concentrating on his magical sight, trying to see where magical effects are coming from.
(OOC Second round of concentration should tell me how many magical effects are in the room and how powerful the strongest one is. Next round I can tell where. )

Armand shrugs and enters the room. 'In for a penny in for a pound.' He thinks to himself.
Since Carver and 'Osul are gathering around the mirror Armand will go study the tapestries. He is trying to get an overall sense of what has been going on in them, assuming they tell the story of the Drow that have been kept behind these doors. Knowledge History 25 (d20+7).
"I assume these things are what the Drow want recovered. These tapestries will probably be very important to them, so let's try to avoid having to destroy them. Mack be careful with the knickknacks as well. They might also fall into the category of Drow heirlooms, since they are not just loose gold pieces lying about."

Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 32/32; CMD: 16 Thursday December 1st, 2016 3:48:58 PM
Owen stands still in the threshold of the room, looking toward the mirror.
As he does so, he speaks ponderously: "Hmm... 'I strike without pause.' It could mean that it attacks unceasingly, or it could mean that unless we pause it will strike. I wonder what would count as action, if the latter were the case... Or I guess it could be a pun, but why warn us about paws or collective labor?"

Leksni continues to stare at the reflections, trying to decide what it is they actually want
DM Rob - "This does not look good." Friday December 2nd, 2016 5:26:21 AM DM Rob filling in...
Beordir and Owen stay in the doorway, not ready to commit to entering just yet. Nothing has been easy so far this day. Why should this room prove any different? Beordir notes at least 20 different magical auras in front of him, the most powerful of which is 'strong'.
Mack pokes about and finds a very well made quiver. It has been made from the blackest of leather. On the underside it looks like someone has been keeping a tally of their kills by scratching into the leather. It currently adds up to 38.
Armand admires the tapestries on the walls. They are in remarkable condition. Barely a stich out of place though and no 'moth holes'. This tapestry in particular looks to show the collapse of the tunnels by the Woldian "heroes". Here they are depicted with horns, destroying the tunnels and killing the helpless drow underneath.
A number of the group are drawn to the mirror and the curious actions that their reflections are undertaking. Atlas, Carver, Osul, Leskni and Pella boldly stand in front of it and try different things.
Carver - with Osul's aid - tries to work out what is being said, but all he can gather from the 'reflections' is that there is some sense of urgency to what they are trying to communicate. The reflected party almost look panicked.
Leskni tries sign language with the 'reflections'. They don't look to understand what is said - even Leskni's own 'reflection'. But it does cause the other Leskni to calm down for a moment, and she makes a spiral in the air with her finger: the universal symbol for 'turn around'.
Atlas tries talking to the reflections, and then reaches out to touch the mirror itself.
As Atlas' fingers graze the surface of the mirror, there is a blinding flash of light (Drow/Surface Drow and any other creatures specifically sensitive to light are Blinded for 1 round. No Save. Everyone else is Dazzled)

DM RobC - The other side of the mirror Friday December 2nd, 2016 5:34:03 AM
When Atlas' fingers graze the surface of the mirror he is surprised to discover that the mirror does not feel made of glass. It is some sort of magical force rather than a "normal" mirror.
There is a blinding flash and Atlas finds he is now looking out on the party from the other side of the mirror. Touching it has somehow teleported him to the other side! It is an exact copy of the room he was just in. Identical tapestries even hang on the walls.
He can see Leskni on the other side of the 'mirror' trying sign language, and he can see Carver's lips move - though he cannot hear anything.
Standing where Atlas had been is the reflection-Atlas! It looks exactly like him, even down to the equipment and blood stains from the recent battle. It is now standing with the party, and they don't look to have noticed.
Perhaps just as alarmingly is that Atlas now finds himself practically surrounded by the 'reflections'.

Atlas has a moment of panic run through him, but he takes a deep breath and tries to calm himself. He looks at the others in the room with him, waving their hands about and trying to say something, just like he saw when he looked through the mirror at them. How am I going to let them know that my reflection changed spots with me? He ponders that a moment.
"Are any of you real? Are you people trapped in this mirror, or creatures just wanting to get out there and kill them?" He's not sure that they'll respond, but he has to ask. As he does, he stands there with his hands on his hips trying to look completely different than the others, just staring back out at his friends. What can make me stand out from the others so they know something changed? He thinks on this...

Nor much to fight incorporeal creatures" As the others have been milling about the room, Beordir decides traps are much less risk than a spirit he cannot see.
Hoping his Protection from Evil spell will help ward him, he moves off diagonally. He tries to keep most of the room in sight as he concentrates on his awareness of enchantment.

DM Shane Monday December 5th, 2016 7:03:34 AM Mack: eyes a-dazzle he turns his not inconsequential powers of observation towards where Atlas points. as yet he sees nothing out of the ordinary. for good percepton Highlight to display spoiler: {the image of Atlas in the mirror is acting differently than the rest of the mirror people, He's just standing there with his hands on his hips. }
Carver: uses the power of his god to scan the area. but whatever it is, it's hiding really well.
Duplicate Atlas: prepares for combat,
Leskni: scans the area, nothing presents itself, living or otherwise.
Armand: scans the area as well. to no avail.
Owen: no fool he, positons himself for defence
‘Osul: casts resistance on Carver and positions himself to a better positon.
Boerdir bemoans the fact that he does not have a spell for this, then moves to try to keep the majority of the room in view. he sees nothing out of the ordinary.

Atlas turns back to look at the mirror and himself "Carver, how about this time you try touching it? That flash of light must have something to do with it. One of us could look into the mirror while the other looks to the hallway"
Atlas keeps his sword out and looks about the room. "Maybe it's hiding behind the tapestries?"
DM RobC - The other side of the mirror Monday December 5th, 2016 7:59:20 AM
The duplicates stop their gesturing at the mirror.
"What makes you think you are the real one?" Duplicate-Leskni asks. It's weird. She looks and sounds EXACTLY like Leskni. There's even a faint linotaur smell to her.
The other duplicates draw weapons.
"Hey, I'm real!" Duplicate-Mack pipes up "See?" With that he pokes himself between the eyes. "Would I be able to do that if I was imaginary?"
"Let's kill it now and be done with it" Duplicate-Carver declares as he backs away from the mirror, lance in hand.
"No, let's wait for another one to come through" Duplicate-Beordir responds.
On the other side of the mirror, Duplicate-Atlas has drawn his sword! He hasn't attacked anyone or anything yet however.
The others look to be readying for combat - casting spells, drawing weapons. They are focusing their attention to the hallway where Duplicate-Atlas pointed. The consequence though is that some have turned their backs to the now armed Duplicate-Atlas!
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 22/17; HP 50/61 Character Sheet Monday December 5th, 2016 10:33:01 AM
Atlas draws his sword and shield as those around him discuss his fate. He backs up towards the mirror. "See what I mean? If you were the real Carver you wouldn't be trying to kill me, and if that was the real me out there then it wouldn't be putting my friends in danger." Hoping that is enough to distract them from his approach to the mirror, Atlas takes a chance and reaches towards the mirror. He extends his index finger from the hilt of his sword and swipes it across the surface while keeping his attention focused on the duplicates in his room.

Armand moves to w11 and says. "From what you've said the figures in the mirror are upset about something. Maybe you need to sign language in reverse, like you'd see it backwards or something."
He turns to Mack, "Mack have you 'secured' all of the loose valuables?"(Is there a list of what valuables are in the room, did I miss that?)

Boerdir the mirror has a strong evocation aura on it. everything in the room seems to be coated in an oil with a faint transmutation aura to it. you move to the requested location,(I got to get edit acces from Rob the I'll move you) the items that Mack has found: the pearl has a strong transmutation aura and the hand has a faint transmutation aura. the quiver has a moderate, conjuration aura.
Carver touches the mirror and a bright flash emanates from the mirror and the world goes white anyone facing the mirror is dazzled for 1 round but Osul is blinded for 1 round and dazzled for one since he was staring directly at it.
Mack found a quiver as mentioned above but he also found 2 other items and a bag of gold. the first item is a mummified hand on a gold chain, the hand is fine boned and long finged. there is a average sized pearl laying in its palm. you haven't had time to count the gold yet.

Beordir looks around at the two warriors attacking things. Before attempting to engage, he tried negotiation. "Stop attacking. The only things that are causing harm in this room are us.....to each other. There are a lot of magical items in this room, but the whole room has a layer of transmutive oil. That oil could be altering our perceptions."
He takes time away from his enchantment gaze to consider what effect may be causing Atlas and Carver to mistake their friends so without being an illusion.

Atlas takes a moment to figure out exactly what happened with the dead 'Osul, but it doesn't take him long to figure it out. " 'Osul, welcome to the world beyond the mirror. Carver, you, and I are good, kill the rest of them. They're doppelgangers of some sort that swap places with us when we touch the mirror on the other side. You can trust me because I know you are from Culverwood and you don't like crowds."
Atlas turns toward Beordir first. Knowing that Beordir is a bit more formidable than 'Osul from a martial perspective, he changes up his approach, forgoing the shield bash and focusing solely on his longsword.

Carver: your Longword hits, but the wily little ghoul avoids the hooves. and actually manages to get upon your back! evoking a "get it off me" feeling and putting the creature out of hoof range and imposing a 30% miss chance to try and hit him due to concealment and odd angle of attack.

( OOC ) I'm having trouble understanding. My action was to ready an action to cast as soon as Carver got within 20 feet of a wall.
The DM Shane post said the following : Carver does get within 20ft of a wall several times.
I think that means my readied action would have triggered and the web spell would have filled a 20 x 20 space near Carver. I just don't know where that occurred or if I can get Atlas as well.
DM Shane: Sorry guys I was late last night and rushed this morning.
Carver made his reflex save against the web which turned his charge attack into a ride by attack. so the damage isn't 24 pts it 11 points.

I'm totally confused, even after rereading the last few days posts.
Do we have any idea WHY Osul is down? As far as I can see absolutely nobody has actually hit him. Did he suddenly just drop dead or what? Does he have wounds on him?
If Osul is lying down and has wounds on him Leskni will move to him (avoiding an attack of opportunity from Carver if at all possible) and use her save/slay power on Osul.
If Osul has no wounds on him then that won't work and she will just take the total defense action right now.

Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 50/50 CMD 17 Character Sheet Saturday December 10th, 2016 6:45:36 PM
The 'Osul in the mirror (the reflection) was attacked by the reflections of Atlas and Carver, the wounds given in the mirror apparently also occurred out here.
So essentially we are in a TPK situation, Atlas and Carver out here will most probably decimate the party, simply because they are the big fighters and Paladin saves are ridiculous. We either die from wounds out here, or we die from wound the reflections receive.
Which is why I think we all have to be on one side or the other of the mirror. Even then it's likely we are not going to survive a trap room, with no visible means of egress, and no time to really look because we are in combat.
I assume the DM is private emailing party members who are in the mirror with regards to what they are doing 'off' screen.

Mack appears in the room and is a little concerned about Squeaver. Sure, there's a Squeaver here, but is it the right Squeaver? Judging by the way he/it is preparing to attack.... probably not.
Mack tries touching the mirror again. It is cool to the touch and he can feel the tingle of magical energy. But nothing happens. He remains on "this side" of the mirror. He notices that the duplicates move and act just like the originals. Curious though that they're all engaged in combat rather than casting spells...

Atlas winces as he takes another hit. He attacks Beordir again with his longsword, but he spent too much time talking and not enough time paying attention in order to make it count.
OOC: Was Atlas hit by Duplicate Beordir, or Duplicate Mack? I ask, because real Mack is here, so I'm wondering if Duplicate Mack struck me before he left or if it was just an oversight. Then again, 4 pts of damage has to be Beordir. Mack has never hit anyone that hard, lol.

Wary of getting too close to his unstable companions, Beordir sheathes his sword and move to the nearest side of the mirror. Osul is on the floor near him, but seems non-threatening. Hopefully that will turn out to be true.
Cautiously, he keeps his attention on Atlas and Carver.
(OOC) Not sure how this will go. I am trying to cover the mirror, but it will take me at least one more action. Since I am not intending an attack, my read of the rules suggest I cannot gain the benefit of the Combat Expertise feat.

Beordir slips past Osul and prepares himself for the worse. He holds the tapestry up near the corner of the mirror and sinks an arrow from his quiver through it and into the wall to hold up that corner. Then he dances near Atlas and Leskni holding the other corner of the tapestry in his left hand and drawing his rapier in his right. Learning over he attempts to cover the mirror completely
(OOC) Mack missed me.
I'm trying to cover the mirror. I don't know if I have enough actions to do it.
Free Action - none Standard Action - anchor the corner of the tapestry...I hope that's only a standard action. I have arrows in my quiver and a free hand to retrieve one. The map indicates Osul is near R16. That action would probably open me up to an AoO from Osul. Move Action - Move to R15 while drawing my rapier and lean past Atlas to cover the mirror with the tapestry. That would probably also open me up to an AoO. I'm hoping having the blade in my hand allows me to use Combat Expertise to make my AC 24 for that AoO.

Armand questions whether it would have been worthwhile having the entire party on the same side of the mirror.
Carver sees it is the Squeaver on the other side of the mirror hiss, and realising that the Squeaver he is with is acting docile, changes his target to Duplicate-Beordir. Carver's attack is enough to slay the clone/duplicate/doppleganger.
Osul's whirlwind subsides into a small elemental.
The only duplicate in the room with this group is duplicate-Owen. Dead duplicate-Beordir is slumped on the ground.

Owen remains invisible, not yet ready to do anything to give away his position. He's ready to make a break for it if anyone attacks, but the questions remains - break to where? Beordir has just covered the mirror.
The pair are now in a room with Duplicate-Carver, Duplicate-Atlas, Duplicate-Armand, Duplicate-Mack, Duplicate-Leskni, Duplicate-Pella, and Duplicate-Squeaver.
Oh, and Dead Duplicate-Osul.

Ouch. His companions were still insane.
Desperate, Beordir drops the end of the tapestry he’s holding and takes a defensive posture. Then he retrieves a small sticky blob from his spell component pouch, right side pocket, stuck to top left corner. Manipulating the small goo, he enchants a few arcane phrases. Unfortunately Atlas sword form worries him overmuch and he does not flatten the gum at just the right instant causing his spell to dissipate in arcane wisps.
His plans changed. The spell failure meant he could not realistically escape from his companions, so he reaches out and touches the mirror hoping it will alter their perception of him before they kill him.

Seeing all of his friends attack Beordir makes Owen realize what is going on. If this were a true murder-you-all trap designed to make a group attack one another, there would have been no reason for mind-altered party members to try to stop people from touching the mirror. Further, the fact that the duplicates were ganging up on Beordir rather than fighting indiscriminately reveals that they are duplicates rather than mind-altered. Not only did detect magic indicate that they were not mind-altered; if they were themselves a trap-maker would have just introduced random attacks rather than concerted effort.
The connection made in his mind--and knowing he is the only target left--Owen bolts (invisibly) to touch the mirror, on the side furthest from Beordir. Stealth: 27.

The party all now stand "safely" on the same side of the mirror, although Leskni questions how they can be sure? How do you know who is who? Who can you trust? Noone in the room has attacked anyone else in the past few seconds. That could be a good start.
Armand examines the dead Owen-duplicate. He pokes and prods it for a bit. If its appearance was an illusion or disguise, he would be able to feel through it. This is different. The dead being looks (and for those with scent: even smells) just like the real Owen. Come to think of it, where is Owen? Noone has seen him recently...
Based on his knowledge of the anatomy, the Owen-duplicate shares the same internal organs Armand would expect to see in the real Owen.
As to its equipment, everything visible on the real-Owen is visible on the duplicate. It's pack, pouches and pockets are all empty.
On the other side of the "mirror", the duplicates look to be attacking it - trying to break in to the room you are now in. It should hold them for a while.

Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 16; HP 27/46, Speed: 30' d8=1 ; d8=8 ; Friday December 16th, 2016 9:32:58 AM "Ha-HAAAA!!!!! I'm not REALLY the real Mack! Touch Of Death!!!!!!" And I fake attack Atlas with my bare hands.... instead casting Cure Light Wounds on him.
And then I realize I'm covered in blood, and start patching my wounds.... and make sure Squeaver is ok.
OOC: I believe we re-roll 1's, so Atlas, you are healed 9 points. ;) (1d8+1)
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 22/17; HP 41/61 Character Sheet Friday December 16th, 2016 12:18:30 PM
Atlas jumps back as Mack advances on him, but as some of his pains slip away he realizes Mack is making fun. "Dang it Mack, you had me on that one! Thanks for the healing, I need it. These cuts and bruises are taking their toll. It looks like we're safe her for the time being. Mack, lets look at our options and make sure there's not a monster ready to pounce.
"Wait a minute, where's our Owen?" Atlas gets a concerned look on his face and looks in the mirror to see if he can see him. When he doesn't he's completely confused. He talks out loud to no one in particular, "Are we sure I killed the duplicate Owen?" Atlas looks white as a ghost as the thought that he might have killed the real Owen crosses his mind.
Owen Marcellus (Weston W.) AC: 12/12/10; HP: 32/32; CMD: 16 Friday December 16th, 2016 2:09:58 PM
Owen reappears right behind Atlas and says, "Armand, would you please stop poking about my innards? It's a little disconcerting to watch."
Addressing the group as a whole, he responds to Leskni's questions: "I definitely think we're supposed to end up on this side of the mirror. If we weren't, he duplicates would not have tried to stop us from touching it, and the trap would have been set up differently. Consider: the defenders of a place with this trap could touch the whole thing simultaneously, staying utterly safe, while leaving their apparent forms on the other side ready to fight. If the enemies got past the duplicate defenders, they would likely have to fight duplicates of themselves before they got anywhere--and the real defenders would still be in the clear. It's pretty ingenious."

Beordir sees a flash and all his companions rearrange. He is no longer surrounded and he takes off toward the door the came in. He doesn't turn until he reaches the boundary of the room. Rotating, he crouches in a defensive position, rapier drawn.
Then he notices them healing and conversing, whereas before his companions were silent. He pulls a potion from his pouch and quaffs it. Only then does he ask, "What happened? What changed? Where are we?"
(OOC) Cure Mod Wounds - I rolled a 1 and 2. What is with my rolls?
Armand looks up startled by Owen's remark. "Hey guys, don't go wasting healing spells. I still have this." He holds up the wand of healing.
He looks over the party. Heal 18. "Okay this may take a few minutes. While I'm doing this I suggest Atlas touch nothing in the room. And maybe Mack look things over for traps and such, and maybe Owen see if there is magic afoot."
He goes to Beordir. (oops ignore the d20+3 forgot to change the die). 6 touches of the wand, Beordir should be fully healed.
Armand walks over to Mack. 3 touches fully healed (I'm keeping that d8 that rolled a 1 because Mack only needed 4 hitpoints at that point.)
Armand walks to Atlas. He eyes him for a minute with a raised eyebrow. "Touching things not fully checked out." He shakes his head. 4 touches and his wounds are closed up. Though still bloody.
Leskni is next on his rambles. 2 touches, Leskni is 2 hp shy of full.
[b]"That leaves you big guy." Armand says as he walks over to Carver. 2 touches and fully healed. (deducted charges off the treasure list, wand is down to 29 charges)
"Is that everyone? Did I miss anyone? What is Squeaver's status?"
Channel energy 4/6 used Protection from Evil currently up (+2 ac & +2 save against evil and some other things) Sanctuary up - will 14 to notice him to attack.

OOC: Ok, I'm getting thoroughly peeved at this site. My posting last night got dropped. Again Not that it was very exciting but missing the last post of the year because of some computer malfunction kinda sucks :-).
"Thanks for the healing. So, shall we explore around here?"
OOC: Happy Holidays everybody. See you all next year

Carver touches the "mirror" but not like most of the rest have..... He's trying to determine how its made. Is it like a stone wall or is it like thick glass with just a tiny amount of flex/sway to it? know Engineering : know Dungeoneering : Perception : 25
Mack (Eric R) AC: 16 (T 16 FF 13), CMD: 16; HP 46/46, Speed: 30' Sunday December 18th, 2016 4:44:48 PM "Thanks for the healing, Armand! I think Squeaver somehow manager to stay good." ;)
OOC: I was thinking the opposite.... that I thought we might not want to waste the wand spells. ;)
Merry Christmas everyone!
Armand (Robert D) AC 16/touch11/flat15 HP 47/50 CMD 17 Character Sheet Monday December 19th, 2016 8:24:14 AM "Carver, what are you doing? Don't touch that!" Armand shouts and knocks Carver's hand away from the mirror. "Good thing I was standing near by ready to heal you. Didn't we learn anything from Atlas's actions? Osul are you injured? I can't tell in your whirly shape."
OOC: Eric I think it's something we have to consider for the future. Usually in our game at home, if players are a point where they are going to bed down or rest, then of course the cleric burns off all spells for healing since he/she will get them back in the morning. But I'm not sure if we were bedding down. For all we've done, I think in game we are still sometime in the morning. It might be near lunch time. Generally we tend to try and save spells for combat situations and use our potions and wands for non-combat situations.

OOC: Robert D: yah, that makes sense. I'm not a cleric, so I just tend to burn my spell whenever, as I certainly will not very likely be doing it in combat. I'm the anti-cleric. ;)
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 22/17; HP 61/61 Character Sheet Monday December 19th, 2016 1:04:51 PM
Atlas puts on his best shameful face, but it is comical at best. "OK, OK, I admit that it wasn't the smartest thing to do. I am just tired of these delays, so I thought I would speed things up. It wasn't my best plan, but we survived. Well, mostly anyway. Thanks for the healing!
Should we set watch and get some rest after we eat? I'm starving and I'm guessing that the spell casters could use time to recoup."
Carver (John C) AC 16, AC 18 with shield, CMB 6, CMD 17, HP 55/55 Speed 65 Character Sheet Monday December 19th, 2016 3:18:28 PM "What I'm trying to do is determine if this "mirror" is breakable, because I doubt just touching it will so very much."
anyone/everyone Highlight to display spoiler: { And yes, I guess I did figure it out, from a AD&D module many many (too many) years ago, where the party faced an evil version of themselves. I enjoyed it, but this version didn't have you facing your evil self though.}

Beordir shakes his head, "If we're going to touch the mirror again, we should all touch it at the same time...Or at the very least, not have Atlas and Carver touch at the same time. Their duplicates together will kill us all.
He frowns a moment then continues, "I have spent some of my arcane capabilities, but I can persevere. A rest might be good, but I do not need to replenish spells....None of mine have been much use anyway."
Atlas Sunowl (Trey) AC: 21 (T 13 FF 18), CMD: 22/17; HP 61/61 Character Sheet Tuesday December 20th, 2016 4:13:08 PM "Just so everyone knows, Mack and I touched the mirror earlier to see if we could get back. It didn't do anything. Granted, I didn't inspect it to see if we could break it, so I'm interested to see what you find Carver."
Atlas sits down and pulls out some food to eat while he goes about cleaning the blood off his sword and shield. "The blood is good at intimidating people, but it sure does a job on the metal if left on too long."
