Mirror room

DM Mitch
Thursday September 9th, 2021 6:24:58 AM
The party moves to the next room. It is a fairly large one filled with dusty furniture. Old shelves with various knick knacks stand near small tables with a few chairs. Woven tapestries adorn the walls showing scenes of drow. One depicts them toiling beneath the earth, another kneeling before a matriarch of some kind, the third a scene of battle with dwarves.

An ornate mirror on the opposite wall draws the eye. Both because of it’s opulence, and because the motion of the party's reflection is the only motion in the room. No, wait, something doesn't look right right - your reflections seem to be waving at you.

He's distracted by the reflections, evidently.

For whatever reason Mundhildur fails to notice the mirror interaction at first (perception 8) until Asimov and Honor attend to it. So she turns and looks directly at it. (perception 16) Hmmm. Looks like me. Did I just ... wink? she wonders.

The Twins note that everyone else is investigating the mirror. Deciding that with almost the entire party investigating it they can't do anything to help that they look around the rest of the room (perception 19)

Elron guesses the room has cultural significance. He looks at the mirror
Zeoll looks at the tapestries to see if he recognizes the scenes.
Honor notes the oddity of the mirror.
Asimov goes to help with the mirror.
Munhildur stares at the mirror.
The Twins search the room.

As the party approaches the mirror and can more closely see their reflections they can see that their reflections are indeed waving at them. They smile and nod encouragingly and motion for the party to come even closer. Upon close inspection the group notes something odd about the glass (knowledge: Arcana or spellcraft 20 Highlight to display spoiler: {that is not glass, but a wall of force.}

The Twin’s don’t find anything in their search.

Elron doesn't know odd about the glass, but he does think the reflections are odd and possibly sinister. He does not get close enogh to the mirror for the creatures he sees in it to attack him without stepping all the way out of the mirror.

Since they're here, he looks to see if the mirror is depicted in the tapestries and if the tapestry scenes are the same in the mirror.

"Not sure I trust that mirror," Mundhildur says as she tries to figure out if she knows anything about it (Knowledge, Arcana: 5 - nope). "Honor, can I recommend we keep our distance until we figure this out a little bit better? I've never seen my reflection wave to me if I were not also waving. Looks like me, isn't me. I'm going to join Zeoll and check out these tapestries." (Knowledge, History: 19) She decides as well to look at the backside of the tapestries, using the blunt end of her longspear to slide it in and pull the back around a bit to see what she can see there. Maybe she can hide behind a tapestry so she cannot see the mirrors. "Hey - now that I'm behind the tapestry - can anyone see my image in the mirror trying to wave?"

Another thought occurs. "Are the reflections mirror images - that is, our reverse? Or does it look like what you're holding in your right hand, they also are holding in your right hand? Know what I mean? Because if they decide to come through and do something like, oh, try to fight us, if you are right-handed, and they are left - that can help us to tell who is who, right? So we don't attack our actual friend, but our look-alike opponents? Or, say something you would know, but they might not, so we can tell who is friend and who is our look-alike foe. Maybe none of this will happen. My uncle Thorston tells me I have a vivid imagination."

The Twins look for the exit. They check behind shelves and the tapestries but don't have much luck finding things. (perception 8, probably not enough to find any hidden passages)

DM Mitch
Monday September 13th, 2021 6:39:13 AM
Elron doesn’t know what’s going on but doesn’t trust the mirror. He checks and the reflections of the tapestries and other details seem to match perfectly.
Honor gets closer.
Zeoll brings in a camel. It’s reflection acts like a reflection. The reflected camel does not wave at the party like the humanoids are.
Munhilder examines the tapestries and suggests they keep their distance from the mirror. The tapestries are very old. She’s pretty certain they depict historical scenes and are exactly the kind of thing the drow who hired the group are after. She plays with her reflection, which stops waving once both her hands are busy. Nothing seems off about the reflection, and once behind the tapestry she just ends up looking silly.
Asimov figures out the mirror is actually a wall of force.
The Twins look for possible exits and find none.

From the parties' experiments the reflections seem to act as reflections beyond the fact that, when the reflection isn’t doing anything else, they wave at the party. This includes properly mirroring things like you would see in a mirror, IE you lift your right the reflection lifts it’s left. The room in the reflection is identical in every way you can detect.

"Well, maybe we should take these tapestrries and rreturn to the drrow. They'll be pleased to get them, and we'll have made a good starrt on ourr quest."

"Bill the Camel's strrong back gives us a good way to carrry these trreasures out."

"And since cleverr Asimov tells us that the mirrrorr is a wall of forrce, I doubt we have to worrry about anything escaping frrom it."

SteveM - Elron | AC 21 (19 if raging), HP 49/49
Monday September 13th, 2021 8:52:19 PM
"Surely the drow will come check out the tapestries theirselves. That's an awful lot of carryin' you're talkin' about, Zeoll."

While Asimov says "wall of force," Elron hears "wall of magic" and doesn't trust it. Still, as long as his reflection waves at him he might as well wave back and see what it does after that.

Honor Bright (Kathy)
Monday September 13th, 2021 9:24:21 PM
"We did say we'd bring things back out to them," Honor points out. "It's really not that far, despite the time we've needed to get to this point. It won't take us long at all, and I know the Dark Elves will be pleased."

But, since they are planning on turning the tapestries over to the Drow, Honor takes a moment to Detect Evil on the place.

Asimov says, "If we take the tapestries back are we also going to stop and take that heavy magic item that makes water and gruel back that we decided not to take with us at the time of us finding it?"

"Good idea. We can give them the first findings, they'll know we are still alive, and I'd suggest we clean up the remains of the poor ol' evil gruel-eating Trevor the troll, so it does not stay so stinky down there. We can turn his dust over to the drow. Maybe they can make weird potions from it."

How high is the ceiling? How are the tapestries hung? Possibly 10'5" Mundhildur is tall enough to carefully bring down the tapestries. "Who wants to help me roll them and fold them to lay them over Camel?" she asks. "Anyone object to me doing so?" If none object, she begins the process. First she looks over a tapestry, gets a good enough visual memory of it to be able to describe it and loosely sketch out an outline, then brings it down. She names the tapestries with what seems appropriate to describe each. How many are there?

"I could teach you the giant tongue, Asimov. Or Auran." Or, could have been teaching him along the way so that by now he has learned it. But she's fine with whatever language he wants to choose.

"Not that much carrying." "I'm sure we can manage it." The Twins comment.

DM Mitch
Tuesday September 14th, 2021 6:58:32 AM
Zeoll suggests they take the tapestries back to the drow. He doesn’t think the mirror is a threat at the moment.
SteveM thinks that’s a lot of carrying to do. He waves back at his reflection
Honor points out they said they would bring things out and doesn’t think the distance is to far.
Asimov asks about the gruel fountain.
Mundhildur suggests they take care of the troll remains while they’re backtracking. She examines the tapestries.
The Twins think the carrying job won’t be that hard.

There are 3 tapestries. While large and bulky, they are certainly manageable by the giant and easy enough to load onto the camel, though how it’s going to get across the chasm (and how it crossed the first time) seems like a possible problem. The detect evil spell indicates evil in the area, and the detect magic indicates the wall of force, but also some other points in the room. It seems the party missed some things while searching the room and a more thorough search might be needed once they return.

Fortunately the dangers of the previous rooms seem to have been permanently neutralized. It isn’t too long before the party is back at the chasm and their makeshift bridge.

Both Zeoll and Bill the Camel were lowered into the pit and then hauled up the other side with a nice harness. Same process coming back. Just takes time is all.

"I'm glad you arre so strrong, Miss Mundhi," the grey-mane liontaur says.

"Arre we brringing the food and waterr makerr? You could carrry it, Miss Mundhi! And we have prrecious little loot to show so farr otherrwise."

"How about we tell them about the fountain and gruel maker, good Zeoll," answers Mundhildur, "and ask them if they want us to leave it there or bring it to them? Maybe once we've explored deeper, someone can come in and carve out steps on both sides of the pit, or build a real bridge."

For when we lower and raise Camel, Mundhi takes off the tapestries, and lowers them separately, likewise raising them separately. Less weight for the ropes to handle, easier on the large animal.

"Hope it's easy enough to get Dorrvakt to open up the door for us. Or maybe there is a way of opening it without talking with him from this side," she speculates.

Zeoll asks about the food and water maker.

Mundhildur suggests they ask if it should be moved first. She hopes they can get the talking door open from this side.
Elron and Asimov double check the room and find some items.
The Twins think getting the fountain should be simple.

The party finds three items that radiate magic, a quiver, a strange hand, and a small pearl. Upon returning to the drow they seem very interested in the tapestries. They ask for a full report of what the party has seen so far A few seem eager to rush down the tunnels and investigate the room with the mirror more but they are convinced not to until the evil on the other side of the wall of force is taken care of and the dungeon officially declared safe.

Zeoll suggests a bridge. He identifies the magic items.
Honor suggests they clean up the dead troll as well.
Elron and Zeoll tell the epic tale of the adventure so far.
Asimov tells them about the gruel contraption.
Munhilder also mentions a bridge.

The drow appreciate the story and the items and after some debate they decide they won’t enter the dungeon until the party has fully cleared it. The talking door seems to keep things inside, and their leader doesn’t want civilians in their if the party gets defeated by some sealed away monster that could find and murder them inside the dungeon.

The party possibly rests before heading back. Soon enough they’re back in the room with the mirror and the waving reflections.

"I agree, Honor," replies Mundhildur. Along the way, where the rubble is, she picked up a fair number of rocks to hurl in future combats, or just for practice.

Before they get to the mirror/wall room, she says, "Let's think of a word each of us can say, in case our twins start attacking us, so that we know who is real and who is a fake. My word will be 'sprite.' What word do you want to use, Elron?"

"Ah, although the Pearrl of Powerr even has the worrd 'powerr' in its name, it is nearr useless to me, as I prreparre only a few spells daily, and those go oft unused. Let it go to a casterr who prreparres spells ... Asimov? Honorr?"

"I do not shoot missiles, so the quiverr is also a poorr choice forr me."

"Although some may blanch at the use of a mummified hand cut frrom a corrpse, perhaps from an innocent, I myself have no such qualms. Long long ago as it may have been, I came frrom a clannish people, who lived close to death, and trrophies of diverrs grruesome sorrts was unrremarrkable to young Zeoll. I will not hesitate to take this hand, and may it serrve me as well as it did its ownerr when it was alive."

"Orr rratherr, may it serrve Bill." The liontaur places the hand around the neck of his animal companion. "I deem he could use a hand even morre than I could, given his natural total of zerro." Zeoll begins to instruct and train his camel in the use of a magical appendage.

Saturday September 18th, 2021 12:55:55 PM
Elron remembers being attacked by a creature that looked much like that mage-hand-thingy, and has no interest in it. He doesn't cast spells, so although the pearl of power has a catchy name, it's probably not for him. Upon learning that the quiver is like a bag of holding with limitations on the stuff he can put into it, he toys with the idea of being able to carry around lots of whappin' sticks and lots of whuppin' sticks. But the fact is, he pretty much only needs the one. And certainly only one at a time.

Before the party heads back into the mirror room, Elron changes (Ooc: hat of disguise). He appears to be a human girl, about six years old, dressed in simple but serviceable clothes and carrying no weapons or armor.

She does so, steps through, moving forward far enough that she does not block the others, and looks about the room.

The Twins pass on the quiver.

Elron’s search doesn’t find any kind of clue about how to get past the mirror. The room just seems to be filled with dusty old objects and the giant mirror. On consideration everything is remarkably well preserved.

Honor moves to stand directly in front of the wall/mirror. She reaches out with her right hand. Presumably, her double mirrors her. She continues reaching until her palm is pressed flat against the wall, presumably with her double's palm against the wall on the other side. She waits to see if anything happens.

She observes what others are doing, and what effects if any they obtain. If nothing special occurs, she will begin to search the room for - oddities - other than their almost twins. Levers, buttons, slightly different coloration in the stones, a smooth shape where nearby is rough, or a rough shape where elsewhere is rough. How about the ceiling?

When Honor touches the mirror there is a brilliant flash of light momentarily blinding everyone. The party hears a cry and as their vision returns they see Honor has been flung back 5 feet and is lying on the ground looking injured.

Honor only Highlight to display spoiler: { you have switched places with your reflection. You are actually on the other side of the wall of force with 8 doppelgangers who are now all viciously attacking you. One of the dopplegangers is with the rest of the party pretending to be injured to keep them from looking back at the mirror/wall of force.

Please make your post today private to DM’s and spoiler tagged - I imagine someone will look at the mirror this post, but let's keep the con going until they do. If you want you can make a regular post as the doppelganger and spoiler/e-mail Honor’s actual actions

Mundhildur sees Honor lying on the ground she moves to stand next to her, glances at the mirror to see what her evil double is doing - also lying on the ground? She leans over and asks, quietly, "What is your word?"

She holds a rock in one hand, longspear in the other. She looks to see what injuries Honor has, but waits for the code word. If it is not given, she stands on Honor's sword, prepared to stomp on her if she seems other than the real Honor. If it is given, she helps her to her feet, longspear tucked under her arm.

Zeoll focuses on the mirror/forcewall
Honor does something I’m not supposed to tell you guys :P
Elron also looks at the mirror
Asimov sends Irony to touch the mirror theorizing it’s a living vs construct problem.

Those looking at the mirror see the reflections are no longer mimicking the party. Rather, they are all assaulting the Honor on the other side of the wall with hands that have morphed and grown wicked claws.

As Munhildur leans in to query the injured Honor it too grows glaws and tries to rip out the giant woman’s throat. It fails but still scratches her face up (9 damage)

Irony touches the mirror, causing another flash and for the reflection and the horse to switch places. It’s pretty obvious this time, as reflection Irony was in the middle of attacking Honor and had shifted partway. With a snort the fake Irony charges Asimov and swipes at him for 17 damage.

Meanwhile Honor goes down to a flurry of blows (16 damage) before the rest of them turn on Irony and try to take down the horse (22 damage)

Elron notes that his companions on this side are at an advantage, but those on the other side are at a disadvantage. Seeing the image of Irony attack as soon as it came across, Elron plans to do the same if he can. "I hopes you can get folks outta that mirror," Elron says to no one in particular.

He takes the mirror in mid-air, hoping to land on his feet (acrobatics = 15, including +2 racial bonus to jump).

If he is able to, he then attacks the nearest thing that was attacking Honor. (Hits AC 8 . . . oh, well).

Knowing the woman at her feet is a ruthless imposter, Mundhi is ruthless in return. As the (doppleganger?) at her feet lies prone, with a penalty of -4 on its AC, Mundhi hit normal AC 16, 15, and 21. Damage is 7, 14, and 10. If her 2nd (out of 3) slam attacks failed, then her false-shaped opponent took 7+10= 17 hp damage. If all three hit, then the total is 31 hp damage. Her last slam consisted of a knee to the chest, and her opponent has a good portion of the jotun's 1,026 pounds of weight resting on her solar plexus.

She spits in her false face, but keeps her neck and face out of reach of the beast.

Honor bleeds some
Zeoll casts a spell as fake Elron goes through the mirror
Asimov runs away and Irony defends (It was 3 hits for 26 damage, I should have taken 6 off from hardness and only took 4)

The Fake Honor doesn’t try to get up, striking up at Mundhildur, but the giant is now on her guard and fends off the nearly dead creature easily. The Twins coordination and thick armor protect them equally as much while the last enemy on this side of the mirror fails its save and falls prone laughing an inhuman laugh.

On the far side of the mirror the numbers remain overwhelming but are at least more manageable. Irony’s defensive action proves effective, warding away the few blows powerful enough to penetrate it’s thick armor, and Elron proves annoyingly evasive to the foe as well.

Zeoll is able to grab Honor. Unfortunately the enemy had the her and Elron pinned next to the mirror. Having switched place with one of them his only retreat option is back into the identical room which draws 2 attacks from the dopplegangers next to him (going back through the mirror would draw AoO from all 5).

Mundhi, since none were in striking range after finishing the doppleganger of Honor, would simply have lifted the body, and thrown it against the force wall as her move last round. (I had typed in that conditional action yesterday, but for some reason it did not stick.)

The Twins consider rushing through the mirror but hesitate as it would mean moving two enemies to this side. Instead they charge fake Zeoll and strike him for 11 damage. "Go." They tell Mundhuldir, "We have this." "The others need help through the mirror."

Mundhi heeds the Twins' counsel. She says, "I'm going through. False Mundhi is on her way to our side," and steps through. She attacks thrice, against one of the twins, missing widely on her second slam attack, so does 9hp at the start followed by 8 hp at the end.

Honor blinks and tries to orient herself. Since some version of Zeoll is currently hovering over her with an empty potion bottle, she makes the assumption that he is the real one.

"Who's real here?" she gasps. She heals herself some more (Lay on Hands), then scrambles to her feet and retrieves Virtue.

The Twins continue their attack and tell Mundhildur to go through the mirror.
Mundhildur agrees to the Twin’s advice and heads through, striking the false Twin.
Honor wakes up and asks some questions.
Elron hits the camel!
Zeoll tries to hit Fake Mundhildur but she just swapped places with real Mundildur! He catches himself just in time to swap targets. The camel continues to smack the fake version of his master.
Asimov decides him and Irony should stay defensive.

The Dopplegangers on side A decide the Twins are the biggest threat and all gang up on them. The Twins are a whirlwind of speed and catch all the blows but one and take 9 damage

Twin 1, Asimov, and Camel fakes switch targets to the giant who came through as the bigger threat (literally!). The tear into her 5 times doing 45 damage.

Honor looks around, bewildered. Zeoll hadn't answered her question, and he's the only one she knows for sure is not a doppelganger.

Around her, Elron and the camel are fighting. Mundhildur and the twins are fighting. Zeoll isn't fighting anybody, and so far nobody has attacked Honor.

"Who's real?" she asks again.

Zeoll casts a spell, and one of the twins starts laughing and collapses helplessly to the floor. Honor tentatively decides that the twins are valid targets, and moves to slash at the remaining twin.

She really shouldn't have worried. She can't hit anything anyway.

"Mundhi!" cries Zeoll, and he targets the other twin with his spell. That one has to make a DC17 Will save.

[OOC: The one now laughing gets one last chance to resist with a DC17 Will Save. If it makes it, then it can act naturally, but will be prone.]

"Honor, fight the laughing twins!" [Note: You are at +4 with melee attacks against the prone laughers.]

Bill the Camel munches on laughing Evil Elron, hitting AC11, a miss even with the bonus vs prone.

[Note: Laughing Evil Elron missed his first save on Monday. The spell lasts 5 rounds, and will end Friday. I think Bill gets one last chance to munch tomorrow.]

SteveM - Mundhi has 4 hero points. I forgot I could use them in this situation. If two were used by her, she would have made her stabilization save. Let's let our DM decide on that. If he rules it works, she is definitely still down, but not double dead. Just mostly dead.

Honor is still confused but picks out a valid target. Doesn’t hit it though (all of the doppelgangers are attacking with morphed claws for hands so she can pick them out that way)
Mundhildur turns into a corpse.
Zeoll is upset at Mundhildur’s transformation and casts another spell
Elron strikes out (... I don’t know how I missed that damage, maybe I put it on the wrong char. Adding it)
Asimov finishes fake Elron and Irony misses an attack.
Mundhildur transforms from a corpse into an almost, but not quite, corpse.
The Twins cut fake Zeoll in half.

The fake Twins make their saves. Snarling, they go for the annoying caster, drawing an AoO from Elron and Honor. One can only stand and then move over there, but the other goes for his claw attack and lands a hit for 9 damage.

Fake Mundhildur decides she doesn’t like the 3 on 1 odds and touches the mirror to switch places with Mundhildur. This provokes an AoO from the Twins which they take full advantage of.

Fake Mundhildur goes for a hit on Honor and land it for 7 damage.

The Twins decide that the other team is in serious danger and go through the mirror despite the fact it will swap both enemies. This gets them off Zeoll at least, but puts Camel and Asimov at risk. At least those two aren't almost dead.

They run at fake Camel, flanking him and hitting for 10 damage.

Mundhildur, slashed to shreds, for a moment all goes black. Then thoughts begin to pass through her mind.

"She broke both legs?" asked the very large dwarf lady. "You say, jumping off a huge boulder? Hope the breaks are clean," she comments. Mundhildur, seven years old, looks at the red-blonde braids of the dwarf woman who stands well over six feet tall. She had heard of her before. She practiced medicine, and served a god Mundhi did not know. Her eyes seemed kind, though.

"I will examine your legs, girl. You tell me what hurts, and what does not. Your mother tells me you are brave. Are you brave, girl?"

She gives an affirmative nod, but feels some apprehension.

"Good. Now when I do this..."

"Uhnnn..." she groans.

"And this?"

The girl grits her teeth, but says nothing. The dwarf takes the other leg, the right one, in her strong hands, presses a few spots, then pulls, and gives a slight twist.

"AAAAHHHIIIiiiiii!" the girl cries out, then takes several rapid breaths, and stills her voice. Shaky, she says. "Now that one does not hurt."

The healer gives her a clean white rag. "Put this between your teeth for a moment, girl." Young Mundhildur obeys.

The woman begins to say some words in another language, runs a finger lightly over her left shin. "Can you count with your fingers?" she asks the girl. Another affirmative nod. "Good. Count to five with your fingers, like this." She holds up a first, then lifts her own thumb, index finger, and down to the small finger. "Ready? Start." The girl has her thumb and index finger up, and as her middle finger is beginning to unfold, the healer squeezes the middle of her calf, angles the leg slightly inward, then pulls out a smidge, and lets the muscles pull the leg back.

Mundhildur's teeth manage to cut through some of the cloth, but aside from some subvocalizations, she does not cry out this time. The woman says a few more words - more like a chant. A wave of warmth covers both legs. The pain disappears. The girl takes the cloth out of her mouth, and she feels her body relaxing on the table. She breathes in and out half a dozen times.

"Kara, she is fine now," the dwarf healer says to Mundhildur's mother. "Girl. Mundhildur Karadottir. Do not jump off that rock again this year. Get some training in how to jump, and land, and fall. You will grow tall only if you survive."

Mother Kara says, "Bless you, Dovana. Here, take this for your medical supplies, and by way of thanks." The healer inclines her head and accepts the small pouch.

After Zeoll helps heal her, a small sigh escapes her lips, yet otherwise, she continues to lie still on the side of the mirror which the party originally was in..

Mundhildur has very vivid dreams.

The fake Twins see that the annoying caster has come to the same side as them and that he is healing people. They target the healer first and hit him for 12 damage.

Fake Mundhildur rolls well and sends Honor back into the realm of unconsciousness (16 damage). Fake Asimov and Camel pin down the evasive chicken barbarian and bring him down as well (27 damage, with 1 DR it goes down to 24 still enough to bring you down)

The sleeping giant dreams, hearing sounds of battle, clawing, distress, Her mind populates with memory of when some ogres and orcs thought it would be a good idea to attack the Jotunar's mountain stronghold. She was about 12 years old then, and, though told to hide in a back room, she snuck out and saw her father hurl an ogre off the cliff. She knew the rocky landing was over 100 feet below. That ogre's not going to be climbing back up anytime soon. Her brother soon joined her side. "Wish we had some rocks on us," he commented to Mundhildur.

Asimov touches the mirror and switches places with his snarling counterpart

As soon as he is on the side with his twins he says, "Don't attack, it is I the real Asimov"

Irony readies an action to attack the next hostile thing to come through the mirror 22 vs AC; 8 damage

The Twins miss
Asimov switches places with an enemy.

The fake Twins immediately move to switch places with their counterparts and chase Asimov. Twin 2 takes Irony’s fist to the face for that and goes down. Twin 1 attacks in response but fails.

Fake Asimov goes for the Twins once they are sent across but their armor again saves them.

The only healing item, aside from her healer's kit, is a goodberry that Zeoll gave her a few days ago, in one of the pouches on Mundhildur's waist belt. Good for 1 hit point.

In her dream, the girl and her brother begin pegging a fleeing ogre with raw turnips. She throws down 4, and one gets it real good on the back of the neck. Another one gets it on the bottom, which is funnier from the Jotun children's perspective than anything else.

Honor remains unconscious.

[Honor has a potion of CLW in her belt pouch. Maybe Fake Honor does, too, LOL.]

Elron dreams that he's died and gone to his eternal reward. And in the Lands of Rest, he sees his doppelganger. Elron rushes to the Keeper of the Estate he's in, a celestial, and says, "I have a twin!" The archon takes a look and replies, "No, that is but Eitelkeit, a powerful azata who is favored by Alemi. Eitelkeit could be a god himself but for his vanity. No, he's not your twin -- he just thinks he's you, Elron!"

A bunch of unconscious people somehow manage to inform Asimov of the healing they have on them.

The Twins miss
Asimov goes through the mirror again to give Irony a chance to his his counterpart.

The Two dopplegangers turn to assault Irony as the only enemy on their side of the mirror. They hit thrice for 18 damage after hardness, taking the metal man down.

The Twins prepare an action to attack the enemy when then come back through and hopefully give Asimov a chance to find some healing for their companions (25 to hit, 7 damage)

Elron dreams:

Two roads diverged in a shadowed land,
And sorry he could not travel both
And be one traveler, Elron did stand. . .
At left stood a man with open hands
And a light brightened the undergrowth;

Downhill to the right, on a path as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because he hadn't the energy to spare;
Hovered one who turned 'way from the glare
As if from fog and gloom he came,

Both paths that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Both beckoned Elron go their away!
Too wounded he, to go left and play,
Yet from the right he would never come back.

He shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and he —
He stopped and napped beneath a tree.
And dreamed dreamy dreams of nonsense.

Suddenly in her dream, the face of the ogre changes into that of herself, and the former ogre rises up, and tries to slash her throat. Mundhildur leans back, narrowly avoiding the attack. Then her friends gather round, and some attack her, and some defend her. Anxiety rises. What is happening? She thinks to herself, "I must wake up. Wake up!" She struggles, but her limbs are heavy. She cannot open her eyes.

'Please, wake up,' she tells herself.

Honor does not dream, but she is breathing, so we'll call it good.
