If that does nothing, she shrugs her shoulders. "Well. I give up. If it is a portal, maybe knowing it's here could be useful. A way to teleport back to the first level could be helpful." She looks at the side of the frame and tries to look at the back of the mirror, pulling the bottom away with taking the mirror off the wall. She's looking for any sigils or arcane words that might be useful later. Jax starts pacing, anxious to keep moving.

Move: none Manipulate: none Defender Action: none Defender Move: none Defender Reaction: deflect attack       Steel Defender In combat, the defender shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. It can move and use its reaction on its own, but the only action it takes on its turn is the Dodge action, unless you take a bonus action on your turn to command it to take another action. That action can be one in its stat block or some other action. If you are incapacitated, the defender can take any action of its choice, not just Dodge.   If the Mending spell is cast on it, it regains 2d6 hit points. If it has died within the last hour, you can use your smith's tools as an action to revive it, provided you are within 5 feet of it and you expend a spell slot of 1st level or higher. The steel defender returns to life after 1 minute with all its hit points restored.   At the end of a long rest, you can create a new steel defender if you have smith's tools with you. If you already have a defender from this feature, the first one immediately perishes. The defender also perishes if you die.   JAX (Steel Defender) Medium, construct (unaligned) Armor Class 15 (natural) Hit Points 31 (5d8) Speed 40 ft.

A dragonborn mage named Felrax guards the place."   Esvele Rosznar, "my brother Kressando. He has gone down to Skullport to conduct secret meetings with the thief's guild there, for nefarious purposes I would assume. He is twenty-two years old and has fair skin, like mine, and real curly hair. Be wary though, he is highly trained in the art of stealth and thievery. He also wears a platinum signet ring bearing our family crest, a diving white falcon on a field of blue. The ring also bears an inscription 'Fly high and swoop swift'. House Rosznar to fulfil that debt. Skullport is connected to level 3 of Undermountain by the underground River Sargauth and by five meandering subterranean passageways: Beggar's Rest Pass, Shadow Pass, Steamfall Pass, Taglath's Gap, and Whisperhaunt Pass."

Level 1: Dungeon Level As Blue worked his ritual the others tried to discern if the wizard was indeed a depiction of Halaster Blackcloak himself, none of them had actually met the Mad Mage himself, and by all accounts he was long dead, but the stories also held he had been that way several times and still found a way back.  It was also well known that the Mad Mage had several spprentices during his time, perhaps this was a carving of one of them? Perhaps it was one of them? The only one Xaya could recall was Ibbalar Thrul, one of his more 'willing' apprentices after he became disgruntled and a pariah of Waterdeep.

Level 1: Dungeon Level Xaya took her large sword in both hands and gave two heavy strikes to the creature, the sword slicing through the jelly like subject each time it hit, knocking free the acidic substance the ooze was made of. Immediately after she stepped back as the cube formed some kind of arm that lashed out at her, forcing her to throw up a protective enchantment that formed a physical barrier to keep from being struck as her and Jax moved away from it. In a fiery display, Moss summoned up the fire spirit which burned Varta and the cube before blinking away with Varta and appearing again a moment later with Varta free of the cube, a massive section of the cube has been burned away by the fiery display. Blue cast his enchantment as he drove a spike pf psychic energy into the very minimal mind that the creature possessed. The spike entered without resistance as the cube quivered under the assault as Blue moved back away from the creature. Narissa followed Blue's lead, working up a more powerful incantation to assault the creature's feeble senses before moving back away, the cube of jelly twisted and churned under the mental assault. Varta took a moment to catch her breath after being teleported in a shroud of fire out of the cube and could breathe again. Regaining her composure, she took two upward swings with her battle axe shaving most of the rest of the creature apart, very little remained. The cube lashed out one last time at Varta's head, but her armor held, and the creature did no lasting damage, with a final swing Varta put an end to the creature as what remained melted onto the floor before them.     Clean Tunnels Fourth Day, the 24th of TarsakhApril @ 7:11 am WE ARE OUT OF COMBAT XP AWARD 80 XP each CONDITIONS Blue (mage armor) Moss (darkvision) Varta (light spell) MAP IS ACIVE Please use coordinates or directions when moving (N, S, E, SE, W, etc)   Show Active Maps Level 1: Dungeon Level and Crypts Show Bookkeeping PASSIVE PERCEPTION Moss 17 | Varta 15 | Blue 14 | Xaya 13 | Narissa 11 INITIATIVE Not in Use!!
