Ch. 37: The Adventurers Go the the Workshop, See the Kings and Finds the Mimic!

Klona: hello   KreizacsRolwiert: Hello   Roqar: Morning   Dungeon Master (GM): Hello Folks!   KreizacsRolwiert: Good afternoon   Alejan: Hi   Roqar: So We were talking about what to do about a shapechanger   Dungeon Master (GM): Yuuki and Farren I think we will introduce back in Phandalin or perhaps we see then in Gnomengarde outside as the party crosses the rope bridge   Ok, so yea, the adventurers were talking with two gnomes, Ulla and Pog, on guard duty here, whom are up on a ledge 10ft above the party and you were trying to convince them that you were not shapeshifters.   They told you that the gnomes Fibblestib and Dabbledob were in a workshop that is on the other side of the rope bridge. The other gnomes have mentioned that those two may be of help to the party.   (To GM): Charisma Rock Gnome Recluse Ability:  5  |  13   Dolores: ok so Xar is staying behind with the two other gnomes to make this a block-off point   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so to get underway here the gnomes were convinced the party is safe so thus they told you where to find the gnomes in the workshop. So take it from there. Now let's see here, a 1-3 roll means you see Yuuki an Farren outside a 4-6 means you meet them in phandalin or on the way back:  4 Ok so the roll shows you meet them in phandalin or on the way back   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Alright, so lets go find these boss Gnomes and get things moving here"   Dungeon Master (GM): but let me hear from Yuuki and Farren here first, Do you both want to be introduced here or wait until phandalin, remember that due to the waterfall here, the chamber you are currently in is filled with mist due to the proximity to it.   Roqar: 12 | 9 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   KreizacsRolwiert: Galdor's passive Perception is 15, so your roll does pretty much nothin' unless you are specifically searching for something   Roqar: Probably no traps   Dungeon Master (GM): is roqar by the bridge?   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "We should probably cross this bridge single-file, one person per crossing" Says: "Seeing as it's a rope bridge without any actual support"   Roqar: Yes was looking over the rope bridge for traps   Alejan: Let's do it back in town   Dungeon Master (GM): ok and no trap was found ok Alejan   Roqar: What roll to cross the bridge?   Dungeon Master (GM): the bridge is ~35 ft long from the looks of it and currently 20 ft above the water   Galdor Brawnanvil: if it's single-file, one person per crossing, you shouldn't need to roll unless it's badly damaged   Dungeon Master (GM): it would be like crossing difficult terrain   Galdor Brawnanvil: yeah, so your movement is just slowed   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Who wants to try out the bridge first, eh?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "I'll go first"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, the bridge is a bit on the shaky side and begins to sag a bit   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "At least we went single-file"   Dungeon Master (GM): do you keep going Roqar?   Galdor Brawnanvil: *decided to go single-file   Roqar: Yes I keep going   Dungeon Master (GM): When Roqar gets halfway the bridge dips 5 ft to be about 15 ft from the water there. she then makes it across without falling in   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Well... seemingly works how a rope bridge does" does the bridge spring back up? or stay sagged   Dungeon Master (GM): it springs back up   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I'll go next..."   Galdor Brawnanvil: Xar stays behind to create a chokepoint with the gnomes   Dungeon Master (GM): ok galdor   Dolores: does anything happen while im on the bridge   Dungeon Master (GM): it sways a bit and sags just like it die for roqar Dolores makes it across   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Willie, go ahead, you are probably not as heavy as me"   Dungeon Master (GM): the waterfall itself plunges 60 ft down   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I don't have feather fall prepared so... careful!" (dolores yells across)   Dungeon Master (GM): Willie gets across the bridge yea, you do need to shout to one another here due to the echoing noise of the waterfall Galdor does fine getting across so now everyone is on the other side mist fills the passage you are in.

Dolores signals for others to go in   Dungeon Master (GM): visibility is reduced here ok from Galdor's vantage he sees the passage begins to widen, does he continue forward?   Galdor Brawnanvil: Yes, he does umm   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, i need a Dexterity save with a DC of 15   Galdor Brawnanvil: 8 DEXTERITY SAVE  (-1) Galdor Brawnanvil   Dungeon Master (GM): hmm, ok, Galdor got slashed by a spinning blade going counterclockwise here damage is:  25 oh geez   Dolores: (wtf)   Galdor Brawnanvil: ok so I quickly step back   Dungeon Master (GM): alright   Galdor Brawnanvil: after taking the damage of course   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Do not go ahead, unless you want to get cut into pieces"   Dolores: how high is the blade? can we duck under it?   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "You two! You didn't tell us of any bladed traps ahead!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Lemme see if I can disarm the trap"   Dungeon Master (GM): height is not mentioned but i will say it goes from floor to ceiling so that it has a better chance to hit regardless of height (To GM)rolling d6( 6 ) = 6   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Even though we checked both ourselves and you two to determine if anyone's a "shapechanger" or whatever you two called it?"   Dungeon Master (GM): Galdor did notice another set of blades going clockwise below as well   Roqar: 14 | 10 Thieves' Tools  (2+0+4) Roqar   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Nice headsup gnomes..."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Helloooo? Can you two respond? I got badly damaged, any other member of our party would get killed" obviously not knowing, that Willie has nearly the same amount of max hp as him   Dungeon Master (GM): ah ok he went back to have a talk ok   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Don't look at me. I can't heal you."   Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "Uh, opps sorry, I guess I just assumed you were already told."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "No we haven't been told"   Dolores: (pog is with us?)   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "How do we get past this trap without damaging it?"   Dolores: (oh nevermind)   Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "There is a switch you activate to stop the blades from spinning" Says: "does anyone in your party know the mage hand spell?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "I'm not really sure, let me check" Says: "GUYS! DOES ANYONE KNOW THE MAGE HAND SPELL?"   Pog the  Gnome Guard Says: "If not I can do it for you, just push the brass lever up"   Galdor Brawnanvil: I'm just gonna differentiate between shouting and saying things casually by caps-locking   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "NOT ME!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Oh, then I would humbly request you to do so, seeing as Dolores doesn't know the spell" Says: "Oh and... Are there any other traps ahead?"   Dolores: (willie has cure wounds) (but it's not prepared from what i see)   Galdor Brawnanvil: I'm a Cleric, so I basically can heal myself if needed   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so looks like Pog will do it then. So he crosses the bridge and goes over, conjures the spell and you see a ghostly hand move through the mist and blades to the other side where the lever is and see it pushed up and the blades stop spinning Pog walks between the blades to assure the party it is ok now.   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Are there any other traps ahead"   Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "the inventor's workshop is just go up the passage here and up the stairs. Just turn north and you should find Fibblestib and Dabbledob." Says: "No trap ahead, so you are good."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Hm. Good."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Thanks for everything, although you should give a heads-up next time"

Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "Oh yes, yes, sorry about that again sir dwarf!"   Galdor Brawnanvil: I kinda want to giggle, because of the fact, that my HP got cut in half, yet it's still one point higher than Roqar's   Dolores waits for the gnome to leave so she can turn the trap back on, she checks to see that they are working again   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, noted and the blade traps start spinning again. ok does anyone know gnomish speak here? i think willie did   Galdor Brawnanvil: yeah, prolly Willie   Dungeon Master (GM): hmm, nope he doesn't know it   Galdor Brawnanvil: oh   Dungeon Master (GM): so what you hear is what sounds like an argument going on as you approach the chamber   Roqar: I speak Undercommon   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "THERE'S FIVE OF US COMING THROUGH, POG AND THE KITCHEN STAFF SENT US TO FIND FIBBLESTIB AND DABBLEDOB OR WHATEVER THEIR NAMES WERE" -shouting   Dungeon Master (GM): ok the argument stops when Galdor shouts out   Galdor Brawnanvil: I assume I see them, yeah?   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh, We have visitors! Welcome! I am Fibblestib and this is Dabbledob here!"   Galdor Brawnanvil: make yer way in, guys   Dungeon Master (GM): The workshop is cluttered with half-completed gnomish inventions.   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh, a Greetings to you dwarf"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Greetings to you too, dwarf child"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Should someone test them...?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "We have heard about a shapechanger of sorts around here"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "We have performed a test on ourselves, Pog and the one that doesn't speak Common" Says: "Shall we perform a quick test on you two as well?" Says: "Just to be sure"   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh, excuse us and the mess here, we were uh, discussing a way to cure King Korboz's madness, you see. Dabbledob wants to build a thing she calls a straitjacket while I proposed a wand that releases a sanity ray.."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "May we perform the test or not?"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Er, a quick test?! What exactly do you mean?!"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Why do you seem worried?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Just gonna cut a few strands of hair, along with clipping one of your nails"   Roqar: (I'm careful not to touch any of them)   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Well, why do we need to be tested? "   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "To determine if either of you are a shapechanger" Says: "We'll need to test the stuff scattered thorought here as well"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh, ok, so what do we have to do?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Just stay still and one of us will cut off a bit of your hair, along with clipping one of your nails" So umm... Who wants to do it? Who's up for it?   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "Ok, do me first!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Sounds to me like your King may be the shapechanger." Roqar will do it   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "I am deeply sorry for my party member's offense toward your King..."   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh My, I sure hope not as King Gnerkli, could be food by now!"   Fibblestib the  Gnome Inventor Says: "No worries"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "It does not really make sense if a King is holed up, is somehow a shapechanger, yet bad stuff keeps happening all over the place" Says: "So yeah, I apologize in my friend's place" Go ahead, Roqar   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "You see, our kings are locked away in their master bedroom and from what King Gnerkli has shouted through the door, King Korboz has glued him down to a chair!"   Galdor Brawnanvil: Let's see what happens   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Just trying to cover every possibility."   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Presents himself to be trimmed.

Roqar: Roqar pulls out one of her daggers and cuts a snip of hair first then a nail   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, and no adverse reaction from Fibblestib   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "Alright Dabbledob, your turn."   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Presents herself to be trimmed now   Roqar: Turns to Dabbledob "Your next" Cuts a snip of hair and a nail   Dungeon Master (GM): alright and no adverse reaction from her as well.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Whats this about a straitjacket?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Shall I check your inventions now?"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: ""Oh, a straitjacket is like a shirt with extra long arms that you tie in the back so one can’t move around as much and cause harm. You folks would not happen to have any ideas to help King Korboz would you?!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "In my opinion, we should get rid of the shapechanger problem first"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Like I said, first check to see if he’s a shapechanger"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "One of us should stay here then, in case any of the inventions are the shapechanger. "   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "Tell you want, if you can help us deal with our Kings, I can give you a clockwork amulet and a pole of collasping, for your troubles."   Dolores: @gm has this gnome left   Dungeon Master (GM): [yes Pog is back on his ledge on the other side by now   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "I'll hang out with them here"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "We will need you up ahead"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "I thought it would be best, if Sildar was to stay here" or this character I do not know the name of   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Let us explore up ahead before deciding on who should stay." what's here   Galdor Brawnanvil: the wizard goin' as the first person is prolly not the best idea :p yup   Dolores: xD   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "To the west the passage leads to the throne room and treasury"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "and here?"   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "to the north east is where we all sleep." ok, Galdor arrives at a doro door   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "I assume this door leads back to Fiddlestib and Dabbledob" Says: "Do you want me to open it up?" Says: "Roqar"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Sure if you can? if not I'll ty"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor tries to open the door   Dungeon Master (GM): it opens onto a ledge and you see a pedestal here upon it sits a rather large book   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Oi, What's this book and pedestal for?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Dark Secrets and Forbidden Magic *Giggles"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, it's title is written in both gnomish and common so you read, "Magick of Gnomegarde" on it's cover   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Not too far off"   Dolores: are there any doors in this room I’m in   Dungeon Master (GM): nope, no doors but you see sleeping gnomes here and there.   Galdor Brawnanvil: ya just couldn't wait   Dungeon Master (GM): Dolores: The floor of this cave is strewn with the remnants of old campfires. Four side caves serve as sleeping areas, with five small wooden cots crammed into each one. She sees 8 sleeping gnomes here.   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Where did the other two go?"   Sildar the Fighter Says: "They went to look for the Kings and whatever else they find along the way, Dolores."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor knocks on the door   Dolores: (will this guy stay here)   Dungeon Master (GM): Yes, Sildar will stay with Fibblestib and Dabbledor

King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Yes, who is it?!"   Roqar: (Pulls out her lockpicks)   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Is this the throne room?" -through the door   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Say, you speak in Common, you are not of gnome blood!?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "No, I am a Dwarf, I came here alongside a party that I am a member of" Says: "As we came into the kitchen, we've been told to find Fiddlestib and Dabbledob, yet as we proceeded further, we got nearly shot by a ballista tower"   Says: "As we proceeded further, we met Pog and the one that doesn't speak Common, went across the rope bridge and stumbled upon the two bladed traps"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Then we met Fiddlestib and Dabbledob"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Sildar could you stay here and test whoever comes by?"   Sildar Hallwinter the Fighter Says: "Yes, that’s why I’m still here actually my lady."   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Oh and what did they tell you!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "We checked ourselves, Pog and the other one, Fiddlestib and Dabbledob to determine if either one of us or them was the shapechanger, that troubles you"   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Hush it Gnerkli!" Says: "Oh, oh, did you find the shapeshifter?!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "No, we have not, that's why we came here"   Dolores follows the voices   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "To make sure both of you are safe"     King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Safe?! Well, I'm a bit glued down here!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "May we enter?"   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Oh, heck no! Not until I have proof the shapechanger is dealt with!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "How are we supposed to know, that the shapechanger isn't already in your room" Says: "That's why I'm asking if we shall enter"   Dolores: Is this book written in gnomish? or is it just the title?   Dolores opens the book   Dungeon Master (GM): King Korboz the Gnome Says: "That is why I have Gnerkli glued to the chair!"     Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "The shapechanger can be anything, even the chair Gnerkli is sitting on" Says: "Please let us in, we need to make sure both of you are safe"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Yes, he speaks the truth as he thinks I might be the shapeshifter!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor whispers to the group: "Can someone talk them into letting us in"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "I am fine, in spite of my current state and need to go to the bathroom. Karboz is the one freaking out here."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "My lockpicks might be able to"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Good idea."   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "No one enters, until that shapeshifter is gone!"   Galdor Brawnanvil: I'm just gonna assume, that you just don't wanna keep switching between the two which is understandable   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "If I was to... Bust down the door... Would there be anything inside of the room, that could harm me?" Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Other than the shapechanger, that might already be there"   Roqar the Elf Rogue "Whispers "Let me try to get in"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Ha! i doubt it!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor whispers: "Try to unlock the door"   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Hush, you darn fool!"   Roqar: 26 | 18 Thieves' Tools  (2+0+4) Roqar

Galdor Brawnanvil: nice roll gj   Dungeon Master (GM): heh, ok, well the door unlocks since there is no mention of a bar, i'll say there was a keyhole going in?   Roqar: Yes   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Whispers: "Do you want to stealthily open up the door ooor should I go rushing into it?"   Roqar: Just opens the door   Dungeon Master (GM): Roqar, notices that, their room contains all the trappings of a nicely appointed gnome bedroom. you see Gnerkli glued to a chair. and Korboz looks on in horror as the door opens!   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Oh my gosh! Did if forget to lock the door! Nooooo! Don't eat me!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We need to make sure you two are not shapechangers"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor rushes over to Gnerkli, quickly cutting off a piece of his hair   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Afterwards, you can lock yourselves in for as long as you want."   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Hey! What the..."!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Uuuh..." Says: "Guys?"   Dungeon Master (GM): [King Korboz sees the dwarf run up to Gnerkli and cut his hair but doesn't understand what is going on, still looks on in horror!]   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Oh My gosh! No! Don't eat him Dwarf! Stay Away now! "   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to cut off another bit of Gnerkli's hair . As to see if Gnerkli recoils again.   Dungeon Master (GM): [Gnerkli does not act defensively this time, not that he can do much but jerk his head.]   Dolores: and the hair?   Roqar: Roqar tries to cut Korboz's hair   Dungeon Master (GM): just hair, it doesn't change into anything foreign and fleshy   Galdor Brawnanvil: I mean If it was a changeling, it would most propably just change length and/or color so no changeling 'ere let's see if Korboz is one   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Does he even understand what's happening?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Don't explain anything yet"   King Korboz the Gnome Says: "Eh, wait, no way! Stay away!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor emotes to Roqar to "get on with it"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Oh for fucks sakes Korboz."   Roqar: Keeps after Korboz   Galdor Brawnanvil: gonna try something   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor rushes over to Korboz, trying to grapple him what roll is it again?   Dungeon Master (GM): grappling, i need to check on it   Galdor Brawnanvil: Using at least one free hand, you try to seize the target by making a grapple check instead of an Attack roll: a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check (the target chooses the ability to use). If you succeed, you subject the target to the Grappled condition (see Conditions ). The condition specifies the things that end it, and you can release the target whenever you like (no action required).   Roqar: Think its Athletics? opposed by same   Galdor Brawnanvil: Escaping a Grapple: A Grappled creature can use its action to escape. To do so, it must succeed on a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check contested by your Strength (Athletics) check. Moving a Grappled Creature: When you move, you can drag or carry the Grappled creature with you, but your speed is halved, unless the creature is two or more sizes smaller than you. yup 4 ATHLETICS  (2) Galdor Brawnanvil ffs   Dolores: Hold Person Enchantment 2 Casting Time:  1 action Range:  60 feet Target:  A humanoid that you can see within range Components:  V, S, M (A small, straight piece of iron) Duration:  Concentration Up to 1 minute Choose a humanoid that you can see within range.

Says: "Say, see that bottle hanging from Korboz's belt! If you could get it off him and pour it on the glue, I can get off this chair!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to go around the room, cutting off tiny bits and pieces off of everything in the room, the chair included   Dungeon Master (GM): none of the furniture reacts   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: ""Takes the bottle and pours it on the glue"   Dungeon Master (GM): I would guess there is a wardrobe in here as well. ok, the solvent does it work and loosens Gnerkli from the chair!   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor then takes a bit off of the wardrobe, opening it up afterwards, making a single tear into every bit of fabric inside of it

Dungeon Master (GM): ok and no reaction results!   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Let's quarantine this room then."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor then goes back and mends every single object he touched in this room   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Galdor Brawnanvil: Seeing as the holes/tears/damages are really minor it shouldn't take long logically speaking   Galdor Brawnanvil: Mending abjuration cantrip Casting Time:  1 minute Range:  Touch Target:  A single break or tear in an object you touch Components:  V, S, M (Two lodestones) Duration:  Instantaneous This spell repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, such as a broken chain link, two halves of a broken key, a torn cloak, or a leaking wineskin. As long as the break or tear is no larger than 1 foot in any dimension, you mend it, leaving no trace of the former damage. This spell can physically repair a magic item or construct, but the spell can’t restore magic to such an object.     Dolores helps Galdor mend things   Dolores: (i have this cantrip too)   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Guess we can leave now"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Nothing in this room is a shapechanger, you two may rest easy"   Dungeon Master (GM): You know the kings are not the shapeshifters and Korboz is still held, do you leave him in that state until the spell wears off as you go about your other business here?   Roqar: Roqar just ignores him fine with leaving him that way   Dungeon Master (GM): alright!   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Thanks folks for unglueing me here! i'll need a change of clothes i see and i desparately need to run to the bathroom! So, tell you what, If you find that shapeshifter, I think i can give you a couple of things in appreciation of your help!"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Can't you pee in a bucket somewhere here?"   Dungeon Master (GM): Anything thing more to say to the kings? what does the party do or go to next?   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Eh, well, i'll just do it off a ledge."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "We came here looking for stuff to help fight dragons, got anything for that? We'd appreciate it"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Oh, yea, what I had in mind to give you could possibly be of help! You say Dragons? What are they?!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Two of them, a green and a white one"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "Oh dear! A fine mess the region has in store if they are not dealt with!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Have you calmed down already, Korboz?"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Do you happen to have any spellbooks around?"   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "You can have the freedom to go about Gnomengarde here to do what you must to find the shapeshifter and get rid of it." Says: "Yes, Yes, Certainly. You can use the Magick of Gnomengarde spellbook on the ledge in the inventor's workshop as you need! Just be sure to leave it there so others can have access to it." Says, “I should warn you that Wild Magic tends to happen naturally around here!”   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Thanks, Lets get going then"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so move along the tokens now so i can see where you go and tell me what you do! ok you come to a set of double doors to the west and a single door to the south   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Could you lock the door behind me?"   Roqar: Are the double doors locked?   King Gnerkli the Gnome Says: "yes, yes, will do! It should calm down Korboz when he comes to, I thank you my dear lovely lady! (to Dolores)"   No you turn the rusty handle and the double doors open   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Time to see what you have in store for me (to the magic book)"   Dungeon Master (GM): Situated atop a stone dais are two squat thrones made of scrap metal and sized for gnomes.   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "This is just the throne room" , Galdor takes a piece from both thrones   Roqar: Single door locked?   Dungeon Master (GM): no reactions for galdor yes as you turn the handle it remains shut so yes it is locked   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor puts the pieces back, patting the thrones afterwards, seeing as he can't actually fix it properly Saying: "Good thrones, good thrones", as he heads back over to Roqar   Roqar: 25 | 21 Thieves' Tools  (2+0+4) Roqar

Dungeon Master (GM): and the lock is very easily picked open!   Dolores: what's in this book   Galdor Brawnanvil: prolly spells in Gnomish   Dungeon Master (GM): The room contains a jumble of gnomish gizmos, as well as loose gears, twisted bits of metal, and other scraps that the gnomes use to cobble together new inventions.   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Do you want to test everything in this room?"   Roqar: I dont touch anything   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "I'd rather not touch anything"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to go and check every single thing in this room   Dungeon Master (GM): [any other actions in the current room?]   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor will make sure to also look and listen for any breathing objects   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, and nothing reacts   Dolores: if the book is in gnomish can I use comprehend languages to read it?   Galdor Brawnanvil: gonna be back in a few minutes, ya guys should continue on   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so you close the door to muffle the sounds of the waterfall drifting inside so give me a wisdom perception check on the breathing. The book to Dolore's delight is runed in both gnomish and common for every spell within it   Roqar: 19 | 5 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Dungeon Master (GM): she sees that it contains the wizard spells burning hands, detect magic, identify, mage armor, magic missile, shield, and sleep. ok, no breathing is to be heard!   Dungeon Master (GM): Fibblestib and Dabbledob sees that the party is returning to the workshop   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "Can I take the book with me to study it?”   Fibblestib the Gnome Inventor Says: "[To Dolores], since all of us need access to the book, I ask you leave it here. You may study it however when you need to."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Your kings are not shapechangers, just paranoid"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh that is good to hear, thank you!" Says: "Here let me go get you all something. [she goes off to the treasury and returns with a couple items]"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "In that case, I'll leave it here and come back for it after the shapechanger menace is over."   Dabbledob the Gnome Inventor Hands Roqar what appears to be a stick or wand.   Pole of Collapsing Wondrous item, common While holding this 10-foot pole, you can use an action to speak a command word and cause it to collapse into a 1-foot-long rod, for ease of storage. The pole's weight doesn't change. You can use an action to speak a different command word and cause the rod to revert to a pole; however the rod will elongate only as far as the surrounding space allows.   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "You guys found anything of interest in the other rooms?"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Hands Dolores an amulet   Clockwork Amulet Wondrous item, common This copper amulet contains tiny interlocking gears and is powered by magic from Mechanus, a plane of clockwork predictability. A creature that puts an ear to the amulet can hear faint ticking and whirring noises coming from within. When you make an attack roll while wearing the amulet, you can forgo rolling the d20 to get a 10 on the die (plus add on any modifiers). Once used, this property can’t be used again until the next dawn.   Roqar: Roqar accepts it "Naw, nothing."   Dungeon Master (GM): Dabbledop explains to the party what the items are capable of doing and shows them how to activate them.   Dungeon Master (GM): [remember you have the chamber of sleeping gnomes] ok   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Can both of you come with us?"   Dungeon Master (GM): both say yes   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to check everything in the room, that he's currently directly after saying that *he's currently in, directly after saying that   Dungeon Master (GM): ok and nothing reacts   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Shall we go to the sleeping quarters?"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "I'll come along to wake them up so they don't wander why strangers are in the chamber."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "That's why I wanted you two to tag along"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Alright then [proceeds down to the chamber]" Says: "Hey, Hey folks get up! We have visitors here, looking for a shapeshifter and we need you all to co-operate here! Just doe as they tell you to do and all should be fine and dandy!"   Dolores: (im having a hard time understanding what the amulet does)

Galdor Brawnanvil: instead of rolling a d20, you automatically have a 10 + adding your modifiers, during an attack when fighting against weak creatures, when you have high modifiers. So that you have a higher chance to hit pretty much, but it's pretty much useless to say the least   Dolores: not very useful against strong enemies... like a dragon   Dungeon Master (GM): ok yea with your modifiers helping, though would be nice of the handout to have mentioned it!   Dungeon Master (GM): just your attacks, unless the oppenent snatches it from you and figures out how to work it   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Yup, what Dabbledob says is the truth"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so looks like you explain what you are going to do with the gnomes and why   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Let me just perform a quick check on all of you"   Dungeon Master (GM): all of the gnomes comply and all pass the test   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "I am going to cut a few strands of hair from each of you, along with clipping one of your nails"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Thanks for your time, you may get back to resting"   Quippy the Female Gnome Says: "Thank you all for helping us! It was nice to have met you all!" ok where to next, adventurers?!   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Whispers to Dabbledob: "Okay, so it's either the person near the crossbows, one of the kitchen staff, a piece of cooking equipment from the kitchen, an ingredient, one of those spiders or the mushrooms or the kegs"   Quippy the Female Gnome shakes her head in agreement with Galdor   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Can you come with us for the time being?"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Guess we need to check your wine next"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor heads back to the room with the bladed traps, deactivating them   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "I can come along with you yes."   Galdor Brawnanvil: if the switch is somewhere close instead of being in-between the blades or something like that   Dungeon Master (GM): i just pinged where the lever likely is   Galdor Brawnanvil: okay   Dungeon Master (GM): ok so the blades stop twirling now   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Seeing as the trap gets turned off, Galdor goes through the room, signalling for someone to stay back, so the room can get reactivated   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "OH, i can just holler up to Fibblestib to reactivate the blades!" and she does so ok being that it's 1pm my time do we stop here or would you like to go a little bit more?   Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "So did you find the Shapeshifter? "   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Not yet, the wine kegs, the crossbow tower maniac, the kitchen, the spiders, the mushrooms and the ingredients are left"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "They got into the King's bedroom and got Gnerkli unstuck"   Pog the Gnome Guard Says: "Oh, that's good to hear."   Roqar: Grabs a mug tastes the wine   Dungeon Master (GM): (To GM)rolling d8( 8 ) = 8 [check to see which one is the Mimic]   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "You should probably not do that, seeing as people went missing" Says: "Without actually checking the contents of the keg, along with the keg itself" Says: "So that it's actually wine you are drinking"   Dungeon Master (GM): the 4 along the south wall do actually have taps in them.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Easiest way to test a keg, if its wine, its safe"   Dungeon Master (GM): remember you have that magical pole now   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to check each barrel, tap and contents of those barrels, one-by-one   Dungeon Master (GM): starting where at Galdor?   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric By using the pole to whack the edge of the barrels first   Dungeon Master (GM): ok no reaction after whacking the south 4   Roqar: Hows the wine taste?   Dungeon Master (GM): however when Galdor strikes the next barrel along the east wall you all hear, "Ouch! that was nasty!"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "You should seriously not drink from a keg, that you don't know the contents of for sure... Seeing as there could be a rotting corpse inside of any of them"   Says: "Uhh... What was that?"   Dungeon Master (GM): Roqar opens a tap and tastes the mushroom wine which is really good No response to Galdor   Dolores calls xar

Galdor Brawnanvil: Can I at least know where the sound was coming from with my 15 passive Perception?   Roqar: Roqar draws her short sword at the voice   Galdor Brawnanvil: as-in   Dungeon Master (GM): ok Galdor   Galdor Brawnanvil: can you ping the exact direction at least?   Dungeon Master (GM): yea   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Galdor proceeds to whack the same exact barrel again   Dungeon Master (GM): "Ouch! Hey now take it easy!"   Roqar: If she can Roqar will move a barrel out of the way   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Dare I assume, that you are the shapechanger, that these Gnomes are so afraid of?"   Dungeon Master (GM): "Well, ok, yea I can change shape, so I guess that must be me, yes."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "It's just that these Gnomes are terrified of you, saying, that you keep causing bad stuff to happen, with even some people disappearing"   Roqar: A Mimic!!   Galdor Brawnanvil: Shh-   Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Eh, well, one's got to eat ya know."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "What exactly do you even need to eat?"   Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Eh, well pretty much anything really. But I must admit the taste of gnome flesh, is quite satisfying to the palate."   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "That manticore would've loved this... (whispers to herself)"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Here I thought we were looking for a Changling"   Dabbledob the Female Gnome Inventor Says: "Oh my gosh so you ate Orryn and Warryn !"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Would you be interested in helping us on our quest, seeing as there are currently two dragons on the loose, wreaking havoc... If you joined us, we could promise you dragon flesh, along with whatever tries to kill us on the way"   Says: "I am currently just trying to not cause any fight to happen, you know"   Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Yes, I have to admit, they were indeed delicious."   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Seeing as both parties would benefit"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "This one is quite honest."   Galdor Brawnanvil: tfw I just don't want anyone good to get hurt therefore getting the help of a mimic to defeat anything evil... would be quite the help weeeeeelp   Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Hmm, sounds like a tasty idea one such as myself can't refuse, can't say i've every tasted dragon yet!"   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "But, Can we trust it not to eat us?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Everyone has wants, everyone has cravings, everyone has needs" Says: "Those can be surpressed" Says: "The mimic eating us now would not be any beneficial to it"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Sure, it would sate him for the moment, but it would have to keep preying on weaklings"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Trying to say not in a way, that would insult the Gnomes   Dungeon Master (GM): someone give me a wisdom perception check   Galdor Brawnanvil: all or only one of us?   Roqar: 18 | 13 PERCEPTION  (1) Roqar   Galdor Brawnanvil: since all of us are in the room   Dungeon Master (GM): ok that's all i will need then so Roqar's knowledge of such creatures as mimics tells her that this one here is a rare breed indeed as it is intelligent and capable of speech.   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "Do we trust it?"   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Having to prey on Gnomes and occasionally a few adventurers will get boring after a while"   Dungeon Master (GM): the mimic gives what Roqar perceives as an innocent smile   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "How about you join us... You would get a variety of meat to choose from along our travels"   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "I don't see why we should trust it."   Galdor Brawnanvil: Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "Leading all the way up to a dragon" Galdor could be lying Galdor also could be saying the truth Noone knows in such a situation unless the DM decides, that I should roll Deception or Persuasion

Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Well, your offer does sound tasty, especially if dragons are on the menu." well if you are trying to do either of those whisper me a roll   (From Galdor Brawnanvil):  can it be animal handling?   (From Galdor Brawnanvil):  or not, seeing as it's capable of speech? even though it still has animalistic desires   (To Galdor Brawnanvil):  Hmm, i will have to say this mimic is to intelligent for that   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, so adventurers, will you let this creature join you or do you do something else with him?   Galdor Brawnanvil: I would say... let it join   Roqar: I vote we kill it because we cant trust it   Galdor Brawnanvil: It should have the choice to live or not It's another intelligent creature   (From Galdor Brawnanvil): 1 PERSUASION  (-1) Galdor Brawnanvil   (From Galdor Brawnanvil):  AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA   Dolores: I vote with Roqar   Roqar: that eats other intelligent creatures   Dolores: we dont know what this little thing is planning   Galdor Brawnanvil: eats other intelligent creatures, because it has to it's mere existence forces it to eat anything it can since people see a mimic and immediately attack it without the mimic even being able to explain it's intentions   Dolores: plus i dont think the gnomes will take befriending it lightly after it ate 2 of them   Dungeon Master (GM): alright so Galdor is giving the mimic a choice here? It can leave or it can die?   Alejan: Is it okay if I join in earlier than the city?   Dungeon Master (GM): sure, i can have both new characters bump into them in the woods along the way back up.   Alejan: great..   Dungeon Master (GM): a 25 hour trip back to Phandalin   Galdor the Dwarf Cleric Says: "So umm... My party decided on not letting you stay with us... They want to kill you instead of letting you live... Therefore I give you a choice... Live, by going away from here... Or die, by our hands......... I am sorry for even having to say this"   Mimic Disguised as Wine Cask Says: "Eh, well, looks like I will be going then, I will leave here and let the gnomes alone!"   (From Galdor Brawnanvil): 25 INSIGHT  (7) Galdor Brawnanvil   (From Galdor Brawnanvil):  is he saying the truth or lying?   (From Galdor Brawnanvil):  the mimic   (To Galdor Brawnanvil):  the mimic was convincing enough for Galdor to be telling the truth   Roqar: Roqar will follow it as it leaves not that it changes to rocks outside and comes back   Dungeon Master (GM): ok and it does so, going down the pathway to the ground below and heads off until you can't see him any more   Dolores the Human Wizard Says: "We should've killed it."   Roqar the Elf Rogue Says: "What can you do to help us with these dragons?"   Dungeon Master (GM): ok, we shall stop here and call it a day! Thank you all for Playing today! I liked how we accomplished more than typically happens during a session, thanks to having an attentive and lively group today!   Roqar: CYA NEXT WEEK   Dungeon Master (GM): Bye All!   Galdor Brawnanvil: Ciao guys   Dolores: cya!   Alejan: bye
