07.03.2021 - Thunder - Storming the tower p2

Marius is not here, so Asgeir and Mats is controlling Coty (Rolling to see which of them is in control, to simulate Coty's chaotic behaviour)

• The fight continues
• T has noticed that they're wearing discs, and that they light up with brightness proportional to the strength of the spell (?)
• Arnini gets S up again
• C tries to grab the disk of one of the monks, they're now both holding the disk
• The monk releases the disk to attack S
• The monks seems to have adv. on all skill checks and saving throws…
• T gets the final kill on one of the monks
• A tries to take of the robe of the monk without a disk
• Another monk appears because of the noise we've caused
• She's an apprentice black robe, and is less lethal than the others (Niels forgot to buff her like the others)
• She's a young woman
• Void kills the one without a disk with a crit
• A picks up a disk, and can now no longer control the turret
• Void manages to pierce the disk hanging from her neck, breaking it in half. He then kills her with the follow up attack
• S casts Spare the Dying on her
• In a barred room there's a large cage hanging over a hole in the floor
• The cage is empty, and the door is open
• The hole in the floor leads all the way to the bottom floor. There's a wheel that looks like it can be used to lower the cage
• In the room Coty hid in there is some chests and a bed
• T sees a small desk with a thick book and some letters
• In the room where Cloud is most likely to be
• T checks for traps, finding nothing
• But hears the sound of liquid boiling
• She opens the door
• There's a large table covered in alchemy stuff, a tome, measuring equipment.
• That's where the bubbling/boiling sound is coming from
• "Ah, back so soon"
• T tries to mimic one of the monks, saying it was just the Oathsworn that tripped
• He seems to believe her
• We burst through to ambush
• We don't see anyone, but see movement in the mirror
• Wonders if we're here to retrieve him
• Malagnim Filifar
• null
• Dark complexion elf -> Drow
• Looks like the elves we helped in the sewers
• Says he is the leader of the Awarth (Elves of the sewers)
• Says avarth with slight annoyance
• Asks him how to get him out
• He tells us to step closer. T and S says no at the same time
• Void steps closer, and Malagnim wants both him and Void to touch the mirror
• A asks why we should help him, and he reveals Cloud behind him, staring at something in the distance
• nothing happens when
• He reveals that he made the mirror, to seek refuge against the monks attacking them
• We need to solve the puzzle to get them out
• there are slight differences between what's in the mirror and what's in to room
• 5 items in the mirror but not in the room
• Drawing of two very identical tabaxi on the far wall
• in the bookshelf there is a tome with a silvery raised face on the purple cover
• In one of the corners is a shield emblazoned with an anvil and a hammer
• On the table is a moonshaped pendant with silvery links
• on the floor is a large cog
• S tries to go over to where the shield is in the mirror, can't feel the shield
• We all go to the places that fits our characters
• Nothing happens
• nothing happens when Void tries to move a book into the spot
• Can hear a faint song from the mirror
• Detect Magic doesn't show Void any magic in the spots of the items, but the mirror is magical and there are several magical items on the table
• Black potion -> Divination magic
• Ring -> Enchantment, dimensional magic
• Coin ->
• Some small knick knacks
• Some small potions -> probably healing potions
• Small bone club, obvious someone has been working on it -> Illusion
• T goes to check out the tome in the other room
• Seems to be a scrap book of drawings of people and some notes
• It's the same drawing as in the mirror
• On the first page "The failures, as a reminder". Finds the drawing of T and Cloud
• Many pages of failures
• T pockets the tome and letters
• There is also a sack of money with 700 gp, 54 platinum
• S casts locate object and gets a ping lower in the tower
• Same cog as in the mirror
• Void moves the bodies in one of the storage rooms, so they're not in immediate view when people walk in
• A inspects the armour of the oathsworn to check if he has the cog that matches the one in the mirror
• He find one that fits . Also find a piece that "Fits Arnini's reasons"
• S and V notices that he takes it
• S finds a different pendant from the one we're looking for. it's a gold pendant that's just a line
• T manages to open the chest, and gets hit by poison darts. The dmg is absorbed by the temp hp from A
• inside the chest is  a very diverse set set of books, different clothes of different sizes and genders, a few knick knacks, personal effects. all have strings attached with different labels with names on them
• Is also a small wooden box with a couple of cigars inside. ornate scrollwork on the box
• Finds a hidden compartment with a parchment written in a language T does not understand
• A can read it (is in draconic). It's a spell scroll with Greater Restoration
• T tries to hold up the picture where it is in the mirror. It lights up in the mirror
• The same happened when V placed the cog, but the light stops when he removed it again
• S tells T to looks for stuff on this floor, while they go further down
• Malagnim gets T to talk to Cloud
• They have taken her magic
• She gets distracted and asks T to take the club and something else from the table
• Sketch with a billowing face(?), elven runes hinting to some sort of gift giving/trade
• Cloud thinks it is a genie in a bottle
• She wants T to look at more stuff, but T says they have to hurry to solve the puzzle, and can look at stuff later
• The others go down the stairs
• They're confronted by a white robe, who talks to them as if they're supposed to be there
• They try to convince the robe that the sound was them shooting up to the top of the tower, since A is a famed tinkerer
• They are impressed and A tells them to go to the Prancing Pony Inn if they want to talk to him more
• The robe is a librarian.
• Gives directions to the shield that is in the welcoming hall
• Void asks the librarian about where the tome is. Says it should hold the secret to the mirror, but that we can't tell them more since it's confidential
• The librarian agrees to tell them, since A vouches for Void
• The librarian warns that the card carries weight amongst librarians, and gives A a library card
• Void notices that many of the books here are magical
• A follows the librarian to get the book, and the rest of us go down the stairs to the welcoming hall
• We hear someone working in the room to the left, someone is hammering/beating something soft. We can smell the smell of a kitchen
• We try to stealth, but people's armour is loud
• Someone from the kitchen yells "I'll be right there!". Void answers "Take your time"
• We find the shield in a chamber with a sliding door
• has an elevated large stone chair, mosaic artwork on the floor along with different shields on the walls
• The shield is in pristine condition, with a black background. The anvil seems white hot (from the colour), the hammer seems to have just hit the anvil, with sparks flying
• T notices the mosaic has been changed, still old but changed from the original artwork
• large sun from atop the throne, which symbolizes the emperor (People believe he is the perfect being that you should follow)
• But nearly impossible to actually catch a glimpse a peek of this being
• Looks like the platform might be rotatable
• A retrieves the book
• As he touches it, he hears voices speaking in strange tongues
• He has to roll a wis save to put away the book
• When he puts it away the voices goes away and he feels relief
• While trying to find a stairway he enters someone's room. Quickly introduces himself
• A joins the rest of us
• T looks for how to rotate the throne
• There are groves on the walls, with handles inside that one could pull or push, with ropes tied to them
• Nothing happens when T tries to push and pull
• She gets V to pull the other one -> nothing happens
• We try many  combinations, until it finally budges when one is not standing on the throne. We're not strong enough to rotate it further
• A grabs the shield with his mage hand and hands it to Sylword
• As S touches it he hears five hammer strikes
• The metal is slightly hot
• We convince the others to help us, in case the pendant is behind the throne
• There are multiple chests and racks of weapons
• T grabs a magical dagger
• Finds magical ammunition
• T and A quickly unlock the chests
• They contain clothes and other items, not all magic
• We find a bag with many pendants including the one we're looking for. And a single coin with a smiling happy face
• And a bag of 7 magical rings
• Void puts them all on
• He starts feeling hungry
• He feels lazy and moves 10 ft. less
• He tests if any of them won't come of if he tries
• He can't remove any of them…
• Finds some magical leather armour that T takes with her
• Finds a piece of songsteel that someone has started to craft
• A takes some fine clothes that fit him ish. Not magical
• We know it's about 30 min left until the progression arrives
• We close the throne and head back upstairs
• In the mirror rooms, we place the objects in the right places
• There's a flash and both of them walks out of the mirror
• Cloud runs over to Thunder and hugs her tightly
• Malagnim knocks on the mirror and it breaks into pieces
• Right before he teleports he looks at Cloud and Thunder and says "Well, you know where to find me"
• He says he might be able to get Cloud's magic back
• She can't remember the prophecy. But is convinced that Thunder is a hero
• He demands we give him the pendant
• T gives it to him, and he looks at it reverently
• He slowly puts it on and breathes a sigh of relief
• "Now it's time to go to my people, we have a war to start. You know where to find me"
• We grab the items and go up to the top of the tower
• Void starts talking about there being something that he's forgetting
• Then starts talking to himself and walking around in different directions
• S and A start forcing him to go with us.
• He suddenly starts walking up to the top of the tower
• Void casts fly on himself, T and S, A casts fly on Cloud and A and C can fly by themselves
• We fly out of the city and land in the jungle (But we need to return for our tigers)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Plan: Get our tigers and identify all the items. And talk lots to Cloud. Figure out how to get her powers back, and figure out what we as a group think about the war.

Share the sack of money with the others (not added to the character sheet yet): 700 gp, 54 platinum

This was retconned to 10X as much: 5000 gp

Remember that Coty should get some magical items too
