Hello, is there anybody in there, just nod if you can hear me. (DM Mark) MAP Thursday September 30th, 2021 6:36:31 PM Elyas moves into the room. He looks carefully to try to tell if the centaurs in the mirrors are saying anything. Then he touches one of the mirrors to try to identify the magics involved. (This part requires three rounds to identify an item, so we’ll reveal that in a subsequent post.) Mak moves in, and is careful he is not reflected in any of the three central mirrors. He is, of course, reflected in the mirrors on the walls - as is everyone else. He fills his magical mug and enjoys some refreshment Rolth is relieved to see the trapped centaurs. He asks a number of questions. Kiwina searches the images for clues to their identities. Tsak stays where he is back in the corridor, wary of the mirrored room. Wil searches the room for exits or traps. Falco has a bad feeling about this place and readies to dispel any magical effects.
Those nearby can see their own reflection in these three central mirrors, but in each there is a different centaur in the mirrors’ reflection as well. Each is different and independent of the others, and seem to see the Petals and the other centaurs’ images.
Rolth can tell that the images of the centaurs do not seem to be able to hear him, but they can read what he writes. They do not pull out any writing implements or such. The central figure reacts with both relief and worry at the mention of Pelonius. All three hold weapons in their hands.
Kiwina is able to discern these three are likely Pholus, Barbale and Timapius. They look haggard and tired. All are also injured, and while the wounds look fairly fresh they do not seem to be bleeding or festering.
With Elyas careful eye and Linguistics skill, he can confirm the identities of these three. They are pleading for help, to get them out of the mirrors, though they know not how. Elyas can see that Pholus mouths a warning to not touch that pile of gold. They ask about one centaur in particular that seems to have run off, but Elays can’t quite make out the name - it starts with a B though.
Left unattended, the mirrored doors slowly swing shut, leaving Tsak, Esmerelda, and Falco in a darkened hallway.

Rolth continues to write and communicate, glad that Elyas can get more in response than just a head nod! He next writes "Brygape? He escaped. Did he betray you or just scamper off?"
To the party, Roth wonders aloud, "Conjuration, eh, I wonder if these things can teleport folks? Perhaps one keyed to each of the Taur Isles? That would make sense here on Bridge Island, and greatly aid our quest to reunite the taurs. How do we figure this out? Elyas, do you have any arcane lore that might reveal more about the nature of these things and how to make them work for us--and free these poor taurs?"
Rolth will try to assist any conjecture that Elyas makes.

Tsak shrugs inwardly as the parties are separated by a door that closes by itself. Of course it did! At least there was no eerie squeaking hinge followed by a dramatic chord from who knows where (da dum daaaah).
He double moves to the door and prepares to re-open it next turn. He hopes the party are still in the room but not in the mirrors.

Falco attempts to reopen the doors this time to step into the room. He also look to see if there is some mechanism that closed them or just the way they are hinged. {Perception: 28} Particularly he is looking to see if something triggers their closing or it is just happenstance.

Elyas relays what he can read from the lips of the trapped Taurs.
They say nt to touch the gold, not that we were going to. one of them ran off, maybe the one we saw dead in the golem room?
it's going to take me a little while to figure out these mirrors, maybe i can find a clue as to how they work. give me a minute before trying anything just yet.
with that, Elyas will focus entirely on trying to figure out the mechanics of this mirror rather than splitting his focus on talking to the petals or reading lips.

"I think she floats around Dirt City.." he replied and continued the conversation as he makes his way around.

Mirror, Mirror... (DM Dan) MAP Friday October 1st, 2021 5:05:02 PM Tsak Rezar moves up to the now closed door. Elyas continues focussing on the mirrors, trying to learn all he can before letting anyone else touch them. Rolth Niheow continues talking with the Taur in the mirrors, and tries to help Elyas. Kiwina rattles off lots of questions aimed at the Taur in the mirrors. Falco Ambersier opens the doors Mak Wil searches around the room.
Falco opens the doors to reveal the room with the rest of the Petals in it. Thankfully it seems the doors are just designed to close naturally without any input, and nothing malicious appears to be going on with them.
Elyas is still trying to figure out some of the secrets of the mirrors, he already has a lot of information, but he knows there is yet a little more to learn...
The Taur in the mirrors nod when Brygape is written down, but they have no real way to communicate long concepts other than your ability to lipread, however, now you can focus on it you get the gist of things.
Brygape seems to have run, partly out of cowardice and partly because he could do nothing to help them, so in some ways they are thankful he managed to get away since he brought you here to help.
They just know the objects in the middle are cursed and when Barnable touched the wine bottle, they were all sucked in. They are kept well enough, not hungry or thirsty. Barnable and Timapius are sullen about their greed, and Pelonius laments his folly of bringing others here.

Kiwina trusts that there is a way to get people out of the mirrors, given that this is supposed to be a test set by Domi. He points out that it might improve communications if one of the Petals went into the mirrors -- but he doesn't know whether that would add the Petal to the centaur in the mirror or replace the centaur already in that mirror with the Petal. And if it replaces them, he doesn't know if they would reappear out here or go somewhere else.
Having offered these thoughts, Kiwina lets Elyas work on figuring out how the mirrors work. He, himself, walks around inspecting the mirrors, paying most of his attention to their frames. He'll even try looking at the center mirrors in the mirrors on the wall to see if they look different that way. (Perception = 29, knowledge (religion) = 25)

Elyas continues to study the mirrors, welcoming help from the other petals who may have insight to share. He is hoping to find some information about what spells are in pla here to maybe come up with a plan to unravel them.
without knowing more the options available all seem risky. they could do as Kiwina suggests and try to get one of their own sucked into a mirror, but they have no way of knowing which mirror they would end up in or if they may end up in a new mirror somehow.
they could try dispelling the magic, but without knowing what he was counteracting that was difficult and may not even work.
they could smash a mirror, but that might just cut off the prisoner forever. or make an explosion...
"we must be missing something. if this is a test then there has to be an answer beyond using my own magic to cheat and break the enchantment.

Mak decided it was safe to approach the mirrors and walked around so he could see the three trapped centaurs. "Touching the wine and gold sent you into the mirror. What if we cover it with a blanket or something." Mak said as he started to remove his cloak to do just that.

Falco copies Tsak and stands in the doorway. He watches and listens.
"A wiser owl may get this immediately but I am guessing that if we keep the communication going we will find a key to the problem. Maybe cooperation with those on the other side is needed. Ask what they see? Anything on this side of the mirror that could positively help them if moved or some such."

Kiwina - Highlight to display spoiler: {The mirrors have some markings on them that mark them as "Of Domi" so it would seem they have some special meaning to Domi.}
Elyas - Highlight to display spoiler: {The mirrors are definitely cursed, and you suspect either dispel magic or remove curse may help, but you'd have to try it first.}
The Taurs still trapped in the mirrors look at you pleadingly, hoping you can come up with some answer. They seem concerned they may be trapped her forever, at least the younger two seem that way. Pholus, the oldest, seems somewhat resigned but hopeful.

Kiwina points out the markings he found to Rolth and Elyas. Maybe that will help identify the mirrors. (Marked as "of Domi".)
However, what he found has Kiwina more convinced that there is a way to help the centaurs.

Rolth will bow his head before looking up and saying a fervent prayer to Domi. "Oh Domi, hear your servants, see us in our time of need. Your servant, Rolth of Domi, beseeches you. Domi the Defender, protect these taurs from the magics of the mirrors. Domi the Strong, give them strength to break free. Domi the Indomitable, give them the courage to face this trial and come out the other side. Domi, enlighten us that we might set all taurs free. Domi, our faith is strong, and quest to reunite the taurs is just, and our will is your will. Show us the way and we will be lights unto all taurs, and not rest until this deed is done! Set free Pholus of Domi! Set free Barbale of Domi! Set free Timapius of Domi, that they might work your will in these Isles!"
As he utters these words, Rolth will touch each mirror holding the corresponding centaur, and attempt to use his strong faith in Domi to influence the mirrors to release the trapped centaurs.

Elyas considers what the others suggest.
I looked earlier for a sign that the mirrors had previously been pivoted, and didn't see anything, but that doesn't mean they can't be. certainly worth trying things like that that don't directly damage the mirrors. we can try rotating one of these, or even better, does anyone have a mirror on them we could use?
actually, two of the mirrors are already facing each other. Elyas looks across into the eastern mirror. does it reflect the image in the western mirror as would be expected, or is there some additional weirdness there?
these mirrors are certainly cursed. Unfortunately that is all my investigation has revealed to me. I do believe we could potentially break the curse with dispel magic or remove curse, but those spells don't always work, and i can only cast two dispels at the most today. let's try a few of the other ideas we've had before i start trying to directly fight the curses
[ooc: does anyone else have access to either of those spells?]
Mirror, Mirror... (DM Dan) MAP Tuesday October 5th, 2021 7:23:45 PM Tsak Rezar suggests trying to reach out to the reflection and grab it. Elyas looks at the mirrors, investigating them. Rolth Niheow prays in earnest to have the minotaur's freed. Kiwina draws your attention to the various marks of the Mirrors. Falco Ambersier stays out the way, watching the others problem solve. Mak suggests creating an infinity mirror. Wil looks for any suggestion that the mirrors can be freely moved.
Rolth gets a sense of peace coming over him, however, Domi has not seen fit to release the prisoners yet. Rolth attempts the suggestion of Tsak, and when his hand reaches out to touch one of those trapped in the mirrors, while his hand doesn't go through and get them, it does feel warm, as if someone already had their hand on there, and for lack of a better word it feels soft. No the glass, that's as hard as unyielding as it ever was, but something about it feels soft.
The mirrors themselves can easily be moved if you want to do so, and the two mirrors opposite on another reflect everything as you would expect (including the other mirror) except those trapped. They only appear in the mirror they are trapped in, and only in the first version (so they don't appear in reflections of the mirror at all, even in ones they logically would appear in)

Kiwina is game to turn the mirrors to face away from the treasure. He will help others or do so himself. Perhaps one at a time, just in case there is some unexpected effect on their current inhabitants. He asks the centaurs which would like to be turned first, but goes ahead with the idea if none volunteers.

Rolth wonders whether these could be creatures as well as mirrors, given their warmth and softness. He further wonders whether we are meant to try to communicate with the mirrors themselves. He gives it a go, starting with the mirror containing Pholus, "Mirror so fair and wise, we come in peace, in the name of Domi.

Mirror, Mirror... (DM Dan) MAP Wednesday October 6th, 2021 7:40:57 PM Tsak Rezar gives Rolth a friendly chiding. Elyas waits patiently for Rolth to attempt his call, before helping turn the mirrors. Rolth Niheow attempts to reason with the mirrors. Kiwina aids in moving the mirrors. Falco Ambersier explains he has access to disruptive magic as well today. Mak throws a coin at the mirror. Wil looks for possible traps, before moving a mirror.
Rolth's impassioned plea falls on deaf ears. Or more accurately, no ears. The mirrors do not appear to be alive or have any degree of intelligence, and certainly appear for all intents and purposes to be simple mirrors.
Mak's coin strikes the mirror with a high pitched clink, then bounces off, exactly as you'd expect a mirror to do.
In short order, all three mirrors are moved to face away from the centre, but nothing changes that you can see, those trapped are still trapped, and the mirrors continue to reflect anything that is in front of them, as normal mirrors do.
However, while you are all arranging and preparing the mirrors, Tsak and Falco hear footsteps from behind, not anything heavy or leading them to believe anything dangerous, but moving in your direction, and without more than a moments delay, you all hear the footsteps as Tsak and Falco look over their shoulders to see someone round the corner...

When he saw the minotaur and Roth's subsequent fawning over him Mak smiled at his friends enthusiasm in his quest. Yes, Mak was not as committed to the quest as perhaps Kiwina and Rolth were, but he didn't have much skin in the game. As far as the nobleman was concerned these groups should have been getting on long before now.
So without much more thought about it, Mak retrieved his coin and after a moment of thought, placed it in the pile at the center of the mirrors...

A minotaur monk, mmm I think we've been here before, thinks Tsak.
Welcome friend, pull up a mirror.
Tsak doesn't pull out a weapon, that would be uncouth. He stays by the door and watches carefully to see what the newcomer will do.

To have an Eighth Petal again, and once again having all taur-kind represented, how wonderful!! Welcome, Son Imod!, I am Rolth Niheow. We seek to free these three centaur leaders from these cursed mirrors, and would welcome your ideas."

Elyas laughs at Rolth's enthusiasm. A new person wanders in, and within moments you declare them a new member fo the Eight Petal Rose? What if he doesn't want to join us?
to the newcomer Imod didn't happen to tell you how you needed to help us did he? like specifically how to break a bunch of taurs out of a mirror dimension prison?
Elyas doesn't let the newcomer distract him for long, and decides it's time to at least see how the mirrors react to a bit of magic of his own. He targets the mirror containing Pholus first with Dispel Magic. the spell resists strongly, but Elyas uses the inspiration of his friends and maybe a bit of desperation and pushes harder against the curse.

Wil stood, mouth agape for a moment... "I do not think I will ever get used to this," he said eventually. "You taurs are so amazing. A walking, trotting bull.. just facinating. There were taurs in the Floating City for sure but... I was always so amazed... anyways... welcome to the party friend.. we have a puzzle here and could always use an extra pair of peepers." "How are your peepers?" He asked. "I know, I shouldn't ask about peepers..." he then began and continued to argue with himself. "Leave me be. We have work to do..." he said after a while.
Mirror, Mirror... (DM Dan) MAP Thursday October 7th, 2021 7:16:00 PM Tsak Rezar is welcoming to the newcomer Elyas briefly welcomes the new face, but then attempts to dispel magic on the mirror. Rolth Niheow gives the new person a very friendly welcome, almost immediately inviting them to the group. Kiwina seems more frustrated by the appearance of someone else than happy. Falco Ambersier waits patiently. Mak adds a coin to the pile of gold. Wil has a bit of an argument with himself. Son Imod arrives in a flurry of excitement.
Son Imod - Highlight to display spoiler: {For reference, you had to go through a room with acid around the outside, and through a room filled with Stone Golems, essentially you were graced with incredible speed and luck to get through the rooms without a scratch, which you believe was Domi.}
You all look at the newcomer with varying degrees of suspicion, while Elyas casts his spell on one of the mirrors. Looking closely at the mirror as the spell takes effect, there is almost like a sheen of light that runs across it, and it almost looks like the glass has turned to water, that is standing up straight. You can still see those trapped, but those in the mirror Elyas attempts this on begin reaching out to Elyas, or anyone in close proximity...

Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | Thursday October 7th, 2021 8:56:04 PM
Rolth, deciding that the newcomer is either a friend or so boss that he single-handedly defeated a roomful of stone golems, turns in excitement when he hears of the progress that Elyas' spell might be enabling. Seeing Mak and Kiwina's efforts, he lends his own considerable brawn to the attempt to extricate Pholus from the mirror. He is somewhat careful not to overdo it, as he doesn't want to end up with a human-sized wishbone for his trouble...

Son Imod says to Elyas, "Imod told me he is losing patience with his Children, and the time has come that they put aside their petty differences."
Son Imod says to Wil, "Yes well I am a minotaur, not a liontaur or a centaur, no offense to any of them. As for my peepers I am fairly proficient at noticing things."
He takes a quick look around before lending his strength to those working at the mirror. (Perception: 26)

Tsak stands at the door watching the taurs all line up to heave another taur out of the mirror, with Mak in the middle. This'll end well, he thinks, no wonder the fool has a limp.
He maintains his split vigil between the goings on near the mirrors and the outside hallway. It wouldn't do for another two-tonne-Tessie to creep up behind them.

Falco about jumps out of his skin when the newcomer arrives. Spinning around with an arrow at the ready. He stays his had when the newcomer speaks and simply shakes his head. "If one of the powers was going to send one person to us so easily it would have been good to get their attention sooner." Still turns back to the mirror to watch the big folk pull. Not like he could be much help.

Mak went from calmly reaching in to pull the taur out to wide eyed surprise as he was grabbed from both sides by his friends and wrenched back away from the mirror. In spite of Tsak's opinion about his sturdiness, Mak was a stout fellow and had a strength that wasn't readily apparent from his stodgy build. As it turned out he did go off balance a bit and needed the help.

"Is that mirror even going to be big enough to pull out a taur?" Wil said from behind as he watched the chaotic attempt to help. "Looks like this is working and we have two others to pull out.

Elyas is not strong physically and would only get in the way trying to help much sturdier allies with pulling the prisoner. he stands back, ready to jump in and help if something goes wrong with this attempt. hopefully the pullers don't get sucked in to the mirror...

Rolth is quite pleased that the minotaur has in fact thrown in his lot with us, and so quickly moved to render assistance.

Between the several people pulling Pholus out, they do indeed manage to slowly, carefully pull out Pholus, it's a struggle, and realistically more of a struggle it should have been... but Pholus suddenly falls out.
"Please! Help the others, I'm well enough!"
Pholus takes a few deep breaths and indicates the others who are trapped.

Rolth and his group attempt to pull another Taur free, however, even with the four of them pulling, including Mak, they don't manage to get him out.
Pholus frowns.
"On the other side it is an open space, empty. Totally void of anything. With the mirror being the only thing, and it merely shows this room. Walking away does nothing, you are always the same distance from the mirror, the gateway, whatever you want to call it. But I didn't get hungry, or thirsty. It was mostly just boring."

Rolth is dumbfounded that, even with the block and tackle and so many strong taurs, the Petals were unable to free another centaur from the mirror. "Perhaps it was because the second spell was less powerful? Alas, I suppose we'll just have to wait until tomorrow to try again, once our spellcasters renew their energies for the day." When Pholus produces the bronze chime, Rolth slaps his own forehead. "Well, that is one less mystery to solve! Pholus, we looked for such a thing, but in the end had to use many spells and abilities to sneak past the golems, once we proved the hard way that we were no match fo them in a fight. Hang on to that, we'll probably need it to escape from here once your companions are free."
Assuming that the party settles in to rest, Rolth will take his turn on watch and otherwise make himself useful. Pholus, presumably still wounded, probably should just rest up.

Son Imod says, "I was very fortunate to make my way to you unharmed considering the way here, I can only conclude that Imod guided my steps and perserved my well being."
"As for my spells I must admit I'm not as strong a caster as I could be due to my martial arts training while being a Druid and Greenmage directly improve my caster level, my monk training does not; still though I can prepare a 4th level spell of Dispel Magic tomorrow at CL 7 instead of flame strike. If you insist I could prepare 2 but I rather like Myrridan's blackthorn considering how I favor this staff here. When I cast blackthorn on it, it really does a lot of damage."
"What are your thoughts, friends? Do I go all out in the Dispel Magic category or do I hold one slot back in case we see more trouble?" Son Imod will defer to his friends in the matter of spell selection with respect to 4th level spells. He must have 1 slot for his domain spell but aside from that he could prepare a maximum of 2 dispel magic slots at 4th level.
Son Imod has a ring of sustenance and only needs 2 hours of sleep, however Sun Imod would like to take advantage of his herbal healing ability and ability to create lifewood flasks to create a herbal healing potion of cure light wounds. This herbal healing item requires 1d4 hours of work to create and will expire after 24 hours unless kept in a lifewood flask, as Son Imod has the ability to create lifewood he should be able to create a lifewood flask to keep it in meaning the potion of cure light wounds should not expire. Son Imod brews his herbal healing item in 1 hour.
When it is Son Imod's turn on watch he notices much if there is anything to notice (Perception 34). Yvins his small plant companion with blindsense 30 feet and scent notices considerable less than the Taur does (Perception: 16)

They, relieved and relaxed, fall to their knees and sit down.
Just as they do, and the Petals take a breath, Son Imod and Rolth hear the sound of glass scraping on glass, and out of each of the mirrors steps a Golem, made entirely of clear glass, they are amongst the Petals and the recent prisoners.
They each strike out at one of the Petals, Wil takes 22 damage, Kiwina takes 19, and Rolth takes 20.
As the glass cuts and slashes at the Petals, it causes the wounds inflicted to bleed, each of you must take a further 1d8 at the beginning of your turns.
((Just for clarification, you have not had a chance to rest yet, as Tsak cast his Dispel Magic before you took a long rest, so no spell slots restored nor hit points have been gained))

One of Son Imod's healing spells has been used to make the herbal healing item, but he still has another one though he thinks he should probably see to the golems first before healing the others.
Son Imod casts Myriddon's Blackthorn on his quarterstaff choosing the more potent version. HIs quarterstaff becomes a +1 quarterstaff with thorns sprouting from it. It now does 3d6 bludgeoning and piercing damage with a threat range of 18-20/x2

Mak jumped back five feet...just because..Golems!
He reached into his quiver and pulled out two arrows which he held in three fingers as he threaded them in his bow, aimed, and fired. Arrows fired, went wild, and ricocheted everywhere as he tried to line up a shot on these faceted enemies. Glass or diamond, he didn't know which, but he observed carefully how effective his attacks were since he considered he might have to engage them with his rapier.

Elyas finds himself in a really bad spot with golems on all sides.
experience with the other golems indicates that magic isn't going to affect them, but that doesn't keep spell from helping the petals!
Everyone get as close as you can! I'll speed things up!
Elyas will hold as long as he can to get more allies in the spell range
Elyas concentrates on keeping the mirror between him and the closest golem and casts a spell, giving all of his allies that are close enough Haste [concentration check to cast defensively, DC 21 = 30]
Elyas tries to recall anything that could help fighting golems made of glass. sometimes certain spells work on golems, maybe he can figure out what the limits of their resistance are. knowledge arcana = 34
[OOC: we're a bit spread out for this to be effective! everyone who is affected by a haste spell needs to be within 30ft of everyone else who is in the spell at the time of casting. if we were in initiative order i would delay until after the rest of the team went to get more people in. so we won't be getting the bonuses on attacks this round, but hopefully we can get almost everyone sped up for next round.]

Wil's summon is corrected due to some divine interaction... from assumption would be Wardd but the point is that the elemental does not appear and what does appear in its place is an Ape. Wil stands, with mouth open fully expecting the elemental. "Why? Why, did the elemental not appear." He shouts angrily. "Come on!" After a moment, he settles and pauses to calm his mind. "Doesn't matter, the same strategy. "Push the golem back!"

Elyas casts a spell and checks to see what he knows. Rolth Niheow attempts several strikes, but only makes contact with 2 of them. Kiwina attempts an attack but has no luck. Falco Ambersier blesses everyone. Mak flings several arrows, and one makes a connection. Wil summons up an elemental. Son Imod powers up his staff
One golem has a few cracks in it, the other two are in fine condition.
Elyas and anyone else who passes an Arcana Check DC 20 - Highlight to display spoiler: {The Glass golems are dangerous foes, they are resistant to normal damage by a little bit, unless adamantine weapons are used, and they are immune to any spells that allow Spell Resistance except Shatter, which affects them normally. Hot and cold spells can slow and heal them too.}
The golems continue their assault! One swings at Kiwina and hits him, dealing 15 damage, and a bleed effect!
Wilford is also hit after one moves next to him, for 19 damage, and bleed effect!
Rolth is finally hit for 19 damage as well, but he's (un)fortunately already bleeding!
The glass golems seem unperturbed by your assaults, but Pholus an the other Taur look afraid, but Pholus shakes his head.

Tsak sees his bolt bounce off the creature seemingly with no effect. Then when Rolth and Kiwina suggest a withdrawal he ambraces the idea wholeheartedly. Brave, brave Sir Tsak... he mutters to himself as he turns and makes his way back down the hallway, hopefully creating room in the doorway so the others can fit thru more easily. He loads another bolt in his bow and wonders what else this place could have in store for them. Oh well, only the stone golums, barrow wights and acid pool to get thru and we're home free. Hopefully there are free ales when they return to town victoriously. Just in case he yells over his shoulder to Mak Last one out buys the first round!

“Break the mirrors!” Wil shouted as he took the blow and became furious. “It may not be right but it may… worse case.” He spat blood from his mouth. Wil stepped back to AU 31 He casts positive energy for 12 hp but immediately wonders if that was the wrong thing to do, with the golem so close. “Please be evil,” he says. The summoned ape (OOC: Had to change the creature), which Wil hopes will destroy the mirrors heads toward the golem that just smacked Wil. “Shake the ground, friend!” Wil shouts.

Everything in the room slowed as Mak watched the golems move about attacking his friends. With a calmness he'd not had in a while he loaded the first two arrows in his bow with that three fingered style he'd just developed and fired at the first golem. His first two arrows streaked across the room as they seemingly glowed from the divine light of the Warper Sar and the magic bow he'd fired them from. Both struck the golem with a crystal pinging noise. Another two arrows followed in rapid succession with the same result.

Elyas agrees that running is the way to go. Rolth Niheow strikes out with some impressive fury and heavily damages the golem he's bene attacking. Kiwina strikes out, doing a very small amount of damage to the golem, but some damage none the less. Falco Ambersier also channels energy to heal his allies Mak unleashes several arrows, Wil channels energy, and thankfully it does not affect the golems, due to their nature as constructs. Son Imod makes several attacks, but doesn't seem to make any connections that cause damage, the blows seem to glance off the glass, or miss entirely.
Between Rolth and Mak's strikes and arrows, golem 3 shatters into several thousand pieces, giving you the space to escape should you choose to. One of the others takes two of Mak's arrows, and begins to crack slightly as a few chips falls off it.
Pholus nods.
"Yes I should be able to... all it's really doing is ringing the chime... but I think while you fine people are protecting us it's the least I can do!"

Mak shoots the nearest one and hits twice. Tsak looks out for the safety of the rescued centaurs. Kiwina bashes things, but fails to hit. He changes his weapon (is changing he weapon a free action?) Son Imod weighs in and crits decisively twice, killing the golem before him. The thing falls in a shower of glass shards (difficult terrain.) Wil moves up to heal Kiwina for 19 damage. Hit ape misses. (Remember, that cure spell is a touch spell, so he has to be next to Kiwina. Also, where is the ape on the map?) Falco channels energy, healing everyone but Rolth and the ape for 21 points (Rolth is more than 30’ away). Elyas conjures a wolf, which attacks and misses. Elyas can see that the mirrors are large heavy things, but they are free standing and can be moved and carried.
The remaining golem glistens with an inner light as it strikes Son Imod for 15 damage and 4 bleed damage. Then it hits Rolth for 18 damage and 2 bleed damage. Both are now bleeding from their wounds.
Also, anyone within 30’ of the glass golem must make a DC 16 Fort save or be Dazzled (-1 on attack rolls). This might have been missed previously, but each glass golem glows with a bright inner light.

Blinding light hit Mak in the face but luckily he’d been checking his quiver in that instant and his eyes had been shielded. He looked over at the now clearly visible golem and fired the last of his arrows he’d readied from his pack.

Elyas considers throwing a big spell to help the combat, but seeing the petals getting the enemies down to a single golem and doing good damage to it, Elyas holds off on spending a big spell for now. (his player also doesn't want to deal with the dice complexity of throwing mirrors at the golem with Telekenisis ...)

Kicking Glass! (DM Mark) MAP Monday October 25th, 2021 4:46:03 PM Rolth is glad to see the wolf threatening his foe. He strikes and hits once, shattering some glass. Falco is satisfied with the battle and offers to heal Rolth. Kiwina stabs the golem breaking off some bits. Mak shoots the golem 4 times, and causes a hole exploding in a shower of glass. Tsak keeps an eye on his centaur wards. He notices all the centaurs look pretty gaunt and haggard, but Pholus looks much worse than the other two. Wil heals Kiwina and encourages his ape. He gets a puzzled look from the simian as it tries to strike the golem.. Son Imod smacks the thing with his staff, breaking off part of a shoulder. Elyas’s wolf attacks the thing. It bites into a glassy leg and the whole golem looses integrity as it collapses into a pile of glass shards.
The Ape waves his arms in the air and screams with glee as the wolf finally kills the thing.
Except for the excited ape, things grow quiet. Combat appears to have ended. There are several piles of glass where each golem collapsed. And in the midst of each pile of glass there is a bright glow coming from beneath the shards. Also here are three heavy, freestanding floor mirrors and a big pile of gold and gems surmounted by a large bottle of blue wine.

Son Imod uses the other cure light wounds spell that he did not convert into a herbal healing item on himself healing for 14 damage.
He says "If this is a normal day in the life for the Petals then I am going to have to start preparing more healing spells. It certainly was good exercise. I didn't even have to summon any natural allies to deal with things. Maybe next time I should summon a flanking buddy of my own first before we start fighting things?"

Right, thinks Tsak, not the way I thought it was going, but a good outcome.
Alright folks we appear to have overcome our enemies, lets head back into the room for some healing and maybe a bit of food and water.
Tsak has a look around to make sure everyone is ok. He'll take out his waterskin and pass it to anyone that needs it. He also has a cure light wounds and some bandages that he can use if they look to be required.

Mak was feeling fine and passed on the offer of healing while he moved over to the piles of glass and poked through them with his sword to uncover what might be glowing within the debris.
"This is still a tomb, regardless of the number of traps and tests it's builders created. We should respect that at least and leave most of this here. These glowy bits here excepted of course...once we determine if they are safe to touch. Somehow being a reflection in a mirror has lost any appeal it might have had for me."
Mak sheathed his sword and shrugged off his pack as he was talking. While he waited he slowly counted out twenty more arrows and placed them into his quiver.
"If that battle had lasted much longer I'd have been face to face with these beasties." he said as he kicked at the glass on the ground. Many thanks for keeping them off me Rolth. I owe you all a round on me once we are back in town." Mak looked at the haggard taurs that came out of mirror. "I don't suppose there's some kind of reward for dragging you out of those." he joked. "I'll need that because Rolth is quite the drinker you see." he finished with a wink at the furry taur as he worked his shoulder in a circle and remembered being his companions wishbone moments before.

Elyas carefully approaches the remains of the golems. well done everyone. that was a tough fight!
Elyas will cast detect magic and begin the process of examining one of the glowing things.
leave the mirrors and pile of old alone of course. I will examine the remains of the enemies.

"Hey Apey.. good job trying buddy. Too bad I'm thinking of using you guys less. It's just not going to work. Don't worry, it's not you.. it's me." Wil walked up to his Summoned ape to congratulate it. "I'm thinking more magic bow action so I can get a couple more licks in. If I do that then I may have to talk to these guys more." He says loudly as if having a conversation. "I should talk more to real people. I agree, Mom. I know.. I'm a bit beat up myself. I'll be ok. They are my friend. I have to get them first."
"Anyways," he redirects his attention to the group. "Who needs a little jolt. Kiwina, I can fix you up again." (HP +25)
Kicking Glass! (DM Mark) MAP Tuesday October 26th, 2021 7:35:09 PM Kiwina roots around in one of the glass piles with his spear. He uncovers a large, rough gemstone. It’s still glowing, but the glow is slowly fading. Rolth urges caution dealing with the pile of loot. He suggests gathering everyone for some group healing. Then he ends his own fatigue. Son Imod heals himself. Tsak suggests the centaurs and others return to the mirrored room. Falco urges everyone to gather up, and once they have he will channel energy to heal all for 7 and 17 points. (You may want to roll each d6 separately next time, as you can reroll 1’s.) Mak pokes through the remaining piles of glass with his sword, and he also uncovers two large, rough gemstones. The glow on these seems to be fading as well. Elyas casts Detect Magic on the creature’s remains. Wil tells his ape he did well, which earns him a puzzled look. He heals Kiwina for 25 points.
As the centaurs return to the room, they are glad for the healing. They had some wounds, and the healing fixed those, but they still look a bit gaunt and haggard.
Pholus says, ”Thank...thank you for saving us. I am in your debt - we all are. Use care with that treasure. It was Timapius touch of the stuff that trapped us in those mirrors.” He casts a sidelong glance at the other male centaur who has a guilty look. ”It’s hard to blame him though, with a bottle of blue wine on top. Still, Domi saw to our rescue through you. He said someone would come. Who are you, and how did you come to this place?”
Even as he speaks, Pholus puts an unsteady hand on Barbale to hold himself up. Probably more of a gesture really, because it’s hard to think something as large and sturdy as a centaur could be held up by just a hand on another.
Elays senses Conjuration magic along with Evocation when looking at the piles of glass.

Kiwina defers to Rolth for the explanation of who the group are, but will add Pelonius and Hollyhocks are concerned about him and not having an easy time on Centaur Isle.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (55/82HP | AC: 19; Touch: 12; CMD: 24) | Tuesday October 26th, 2021 10:42:06 PM "By Domi, he foresaw our coming and led us to you. We are the Eight Petaled Rose, champions of the Taurnament, favored of Hollyhocks. We came here in the service of Pelonius, to learn your fate and assist your return, as you are needed at home. And so we have done! We too found the mysterious Nyloth, who guided us here, and spoke of a test from Domi. I hope that by finding you, we have taken a step toward succeeding In that endeavor. More generally, I believe that Domi leads us to reunify the Taurs and return us all to noble status. And perhaps again we have made some strides in that direction today. Will you allow me to bless you with a small measure of Domi’s power, which may refresh you?"
If they agree, Rolth will touch each in turn, using his Calming Touch to remove fatigue, shaken, and sickened conditions.

Tsak doesn't require any healing so he excuses himself from the room and the treasure hunt to head back out into the corridor. He keeps his eyes out for any unwanted intruders, though he doesn't really expect any.
Esmerelda wanders around the room having a bit of a sniff at the new folk. She is careful to steer clear of any broken glass. Eventually, somewhat non-plussed, she makes her way back out to Tsak.

Son Imod says to the Centaurs, "I am a newcomer to these Petals. I was raised by my master who was a martial artist and botanist among other things. I had a dream of Imod. Imod told me in my dream that he was losing patience with his Children and the time has come that they or we put aside our petty differences. He asked me if I would humble myself to seek a good beyond that which benefits minotaurs and told me to seek out Nyloth and have him take me to the Metal Door. Imod blessed my path to this chamber. I understand the way was difficult for the rest of the Petals but I was able to catch up without incident. As a follower of Imod and martial artist I feel it is my duty to do as He asks, if He wants the different groups of taurs to put aside their differences then I will help with that goal."

As the others talk Falco looks over the Petals to make sure no one is over injured. Satisfied that a good nights sleep will cure what is left, or one last channel before the end of the day, he focuses back on what the others are saying. 'Rolth is so well spoken, it does we well that is acts as our mouth. This new fellow is interesting though.'

Channel Energy: 12 A burst of energy erupted from Wil as he healed himself and anyone around him. "I'm ready to take on those stone golems now.. let's go," Wil says with a smile. "but.. I will take the easy way with that whistle you have," he adds. "You taurs work together so well. Why in the world would you not get along? Did it have something to do with that big shake-up that happened with the Sawgrass or is there a history? History would be unfortunate. One misses so much but being shanghaied and left in the bottom of a boat." Wil asks.

Elyas continues to check out the gemstones. conjuration and evocation... he mutters to himself, thinking these may be similar to the elemental gems they received before.
he picks one up gingerly, and assuming it doesn't explode on him or anything of the sort, he will start performing basic tests to sus out what it is useful for.
spellcraft = 17...
if he doesn't figure anything out (likely with that roll), and if i doesn't explode, he will gather all three of the gems up and put them in the bag of holding.
"We are the Eight Petaled Rose, champions of the Taurnament, favored of Hollyhocks." (DM Mark) MAP d20=16 ; Wednesday October 27th, 2021 8:14:05 PM Rolth explains who the Petals are and how they came to be here. He uses his calming touch on the Centaurs, and they do seem less fatigued. Kiwina adds some detail to Rolth’s story. Tsak leaves the room and watches in the corridor for trouble. Son Imod relates how he arrived here, and mentions Imod’s impatience with strife between the Taurs. Falco makes sure no one is injured. Wil channels some more healing (12 points), and wonders aloud why there would be strife among the Taurs. Elyas gingerly picks up one of the long, rough crystals. Even as he holds it the glow fades from all of them completely. He is unable to divining the properties of the thing, though he knows they are imbued with magic still.
Eventhough Rolth’s calming touch and Wil’s healing has a benefit, still these three centaurs remain somewhat less than they should be.
It is clear that the other two centaurs defer to Pholus. At the mention of Pelonius, Pholus tired eyes sofen. ”Ah yes, the champions of the Taurnament. Hollyhocks mentioned you then, and has several times since. So it does not surprise me that Domi would choose you to visit my daughter and seek out rescue. I deeply regret that three, perhaps four of our group perished. Tell me, did you by chance hear of Brygape? He was alive when we became trapped.
“Long has there been strife between the Taur races. I would like to say it was just our competitive spirit, but alas it has become something darker. I sought this place in response to dreams from Domi. My intent was to seek wisdom in who should succeed me. But Domi had other ends in mind. There were lessons here that we needed to heed, lessons written on the walls of this place.” He coughs a phlegmy cough that causes looks of concern from Barbale and Timapius, but he continues.
“During my time trapped in the mirror, Domi spoke to me. He has told me what I must do among the centaurs. But more importantly, he has given these three mirrors with a stern message for all the Taurs. I need to bring these mirrors back, and it looks like I will need your help with that. I think with the mirrors out of this room, that the treasure there may be safely touched. We should drink the wine together to celebrate what Domi has done through you, but the treasure there should be yours as a reward.” He has another fit of coughing.
As he speaks, his voice echoes in this place, and reflections of all of you abound from all the mirrors lining the walls.

“I am willing to help take the windows from the room,” Wil says as he joins the others. He approaches a mirror and measures its weight and how hard it will be to move. If there are no problems, he will pick it up. (Check for traps: 16)
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | Wednesday October 27th, 2021 9:39:14 PM "Domi be praised! Certainly I will help carry the mirrors from this place. Where must we take them? Please tell us more of the lessons that you have learned from the walls of this place. We have seen the writings, but have not puzzled it all out ourselves. As far as Brygape, he did escape, and we rescued him from pirates before allowing him to head back to Centaur Isle aboard the Pounding Fury. Captain Kira seemed uncomfortable leaving you behind but did not know what else to do in the situation. Come, let us remove the mirrors and claim the reward!"

Son Imod says to Pholus after his coughing fits subside, "Are you okay? That cough does not sound good."
As for the mirrors Son Imod says, "You can count me in with respect to moving the mirrors. If Imod wills it then it shall be done. I can carry a lot so I'm willing to take up this burden if it furthers the goal of Tauric cooperation and if we get to celebrate with wine after it is done more's the better."

Elyas chuckles a bit at Pholus' words. guess it's a good thing I didn't pick the mirrors up and chuck them at the golems then! he thinks.
I do not have much physical strength, but after the next time i rest i could help transport the mirrors with some teleportation if needed.
it's certainly worth trying to get the treasure once the mirrors are moved. we know now how to get someone out of them if they get stuck again.
unfortunately I don't know what these stones do, but the are magical. I will study them closer in the morning.

When Mak heard the taur talking about racial strife all he heard was blah blah blah...Whatever was happening amongst the taur races certainly didn't extend to the other races like humans, elves, and dwarves and he doubted the few short weeks since they'd come from Minotaur Island had changed the attitudes of those from Greenvale..or for that matter the ones from Liontaur Island.
Still, he was hopeful. Maybe it would be better on Bridge Island. It could be worse...they could all be heartseeded.

"I am no going to be much help with the mirrors but I am sure it can be worked out. The treasure is, of course, would be welcome news at that point. Those golems gave us a bit of a thrashing so maybe it is getting near time to upgrade some equipment."

"We are the Eight Petaled Rose, champions of the Taurnament, favored of Hollyhocks." (DM Mark) MAP Thursday October 28th, 2021 9:15:29 PM Wil takes a look at the mirrors to gauge their size and portability. Rolth says he is willing to take the mirrors from here. He asks what Pholus has learned from this place. He says that Brygape did escape and is still alive. (As I recall, Brygape threatened the captain of The Pounding Fury with losing his ship if he did not take Brygape back to Centaur Isle. Brygape was killed in the pirate attack. The Pounding Fury was badly damaged and you towed her back to Bridge Island where they intended to effect repairs.) Son Imod is worried about Pholus, but eager to help with taking the mirrors from here as is Kiwina. Elyas suggests some more magical options after some rest. Mak listens. Falco is interested in the treasure, though he thinks he cannot be much help with the mirrors.
Examination of the mirrors shows them to be about 7’ tall and nearly 3’ wide. They seem to weigh over 100 pounds. Both the frame and the tilting stand that holds them up is very sturdy and well made. They have a solid wood backing and the border of each is carved differently, one depicts liontaurs, another has a border of centaurs, and the third shows minotaurs. In the middle of these mirrors is a large bottle of blue wine surrounded by a pile of gold and gems.
Pholus replies, ”What have we learned here? Well, it seems the words of the prophets are written on the stoneway walls and underground halls.
“Two are stronger than one, and a cord of many strands is not easily broken.” “Might and magic are often mistaken as the path to power, when they usually only lead to death.” “False visions can be your downfall.” “Music can soothe the soul. The music of the sphere can do more.” “This is the beginning of wisdom - that communication and understanding leads to peace and cooperation.”
“Long did I contemplate these while trapped in the mirror. Some I think are a simple warning about the room, and some a clue for how to proceed. But all these things, indeed this very place, are a warning for all Taurs to turn from a path of destruction and pull together as one. And clearly Domi sending you here was to humble us in our hubris. Indeed, perhaps you are here to humble all Taurs. Have you been to the other isles recently, and if so why do you think that is?”
What now?
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | Thursday October 28th, 2021 9:42:20 PM
Rolth shakes his head and admits, ""I think the golem strikes must have addled my wits for a moment. Brygape is actually dead, after having forced the Captain of the Pounding Fury to set out for home. We did defeat the pirates and save the Fury, but not before they killed Brygape. Still, we learned enough of the story to lead us here, so all is not lost! As for your questions, we indeed have been to all the Taur Isles, drawn by missives from taurs, but I think guided by Domi. In each place, we sought, sometimes successfully, to bring taurs together through talk, trade, or taking up arms together. And the leaders of each place have sent us on further quests across the isles, until we arrived here on Bridge Isle, where Kiwina, a minotaur named Sable, and I started out together some time ago. Nyloth has appeared twice at least during this journey, and so must be of some note in this story. What am I leaving out, my fellow Petals?"

Kiwina looks at the mirrors carefully. Although his skill at shipwork is not furniture making, the materials are similar and he will see as best he can if they can be prepared to minimize incidental damage as they are carried. (Craft = 19 if he is able to take 10, or 17 if not, prior to adjustments)
He also picks up the formerly glowing gemstone that he found. He does not touch the treasure between the mirrors, based on Pholus'es warning.

Tsak moves up to the corner and as he keeps watch on the deserted corridor he listens but hears nought. The torchlight doesn't reach this far but his eyes adjust. Hello darkness, my old friend. He enjoys the moment of peace away from the hubbub that is occuring in the next room.

Son Imod asks, "Should maybe we move the mirrors one at a time with Kiwana, Rolth and I moving them together? In that way all 3 types of taur would be working cooperatively to move the mirrors where they need to go."

Falco nods at Son Imod "A wise idea to have the three taur carry the mirrors together. Unity from the start with them at least."

"A hundred pounds, I could probably handle that with a bit of a struggle. Not sure how much you guys would enjoy seeing a bit of a struggle." Wil smiled. "I'd prefer to move them quickly so we can leave this dank place. Maybe fight those stone golems this time?"

[b]one at a time will take a longer time, but makes sure the mirrors are safe. we do not want to damage them if they are indeed valuable relics. I like the plan to move carefully, especially witht he instrument to placate the golems.
"You will always have a place in my Herd." (DM Mark) MAP Friday October 29th, 2021 7:03:25 PM Rolth provides some background info. Kiwina looks at the mirrors, wondering how well they’ll survive being moved. Tsak keeps watch on the silent corridor and listens for the sound of silence. Son Imod suggests the taurs work together to move the mirrors, moving them one at a time. Falco agrees. Mak suggests a wagon. Wil politely suggests tying the mirrors to the centaurs. He wonders about getting past the stone golems. Elyas likes the idea of moving the mirrors carefully.
Pholus’ countenance darkens at the mention of Brygape. ”I will need to speak with Captain Kira about this to better understand. Brygape must’ve fled when we were trapped. Somehow he made it past those stone golems. But the fact that he made no effort to get help or come back to free us is disturbing. It’s a pity he’s dead, but it may have save me the trouble…” The other two centaurs nod in agreement.
”As for these mirrors, they are indeed sacred relics since I believe it is Domi that placed them here. I fear we may not be much help, at this point.” He gestures to himself and Barbale and Timapius. ”I do indeed apprecaite your offers to help. I have a chime that allowed us to bypass the stone golems before, so I hope it will again.”
Barbale adds, ”You are indeed a good and noble group, and you three represent the true ideals of what the Taur races should be. You will always have a place in my Herd.”
”And mine.” adds Timapius.
You can see that, despite your ministrations these three centaurs are indeed weak. It’s almost as if they are recovering from a long illness, or perhaps starvation though none seem famished or thirsty.
Rolth Niheow (BatMark) (72/72HP | AC: 20; Touch: 13; CMD: 25) | Saturday October 30th, 2021 7:52:02 AM
Rolth works with his fellow taurs to lift the mirrors one at a time and move them into the hallway. As he does so, he continues talking with Pholus and the others, "I am honored to be called one of your Herd! As for Brygape, it would seem that he was terrified by the whole experience, and thought that you must all be dead. Although I suppose that could just be what he told himself to excuse his lack of steadfastness. In any event, I must warn you that things are tense back on Centaur Isle, with the various factions at each other's throats. We can help you return, of course. In the meantime, let me tell you more of how we came to be here. There is a threat to the Taur Isles, masterminded by some abomination called the Deep. We have traveled the Isles and the seas in between, encountering and defeating its servants. As we have done so, we have had occasions to foster ties between the taurs. We helped a liontaur village on Minotaur Isle deal with violent racists there--although truth be told, we might have been to violent in our defense. The Purple Duke then sent us as emissaries to Liontaur Isle, where again we did a service the local Council of Clans. They in turn sent us to deliver a message to you. By the time we arrived on Centaur Isles, you had already left to come here to Bridge Island. And so here we are. Would you like our assistance in returning to Centaur Isle? And when and where would you like us to deliver the message from the Council of Clans? Here, or upon our return to Centaur Isle?"
