Session 47 - The Shimmering Veil

Erastus 1

The party engaged the silver man in conversation. They found out his name was Ordikon and he served Karzoug and passed themselves off as servants as well. Unfortunately they couldn't answer his questions well enough and he attacked.

Feeling betrayed by another transmuter, a deadly looking green ray shot off of Ordikon's fingers and hit Khazen square in the chest vaporizing him. Shocked with horror, the rest of the party launched themselves at Ordikon killing him. Preacher tried to save Khazen's life by using breath of life, but he was too far gone for it to work. No remains were left to raise or resurrect.

In a room off of Ordikon's room was a pool of energy. Phain deduced that the pool could recharge items with charges, but could also destroy them. Preacher, Phain, and Xantumal all experimented with items, destroying some int he process but also recharging some.

They finished searching out the rest of the Hall of Greed, and found that one of the goldfish was radiating magic. Xantumal did a dispel magic and the fish turned into a man. This man had been trapped as a goldfish for over 10,000 years (though did not remember any of that time) and had been trying to infiltrate the halls of greed. They let him pick any unclaimed items that Khazen had to aid their escape.

They decide to head to the Pride wing next, The Shimmering Veil. The hallway leading in was filled with mirrors. As they approached the end of the hallway, figures that looked like them stepped out of the mirror and attacked. The duplicates attacked their real version of themselves. The party ganged up on the barbarian while Phain went invisible. While invisible, he flew over to the mirrors and smashed them with his adamantine gauntlet, causing the duplicates to disappear.
