soft flickering flame from a lantern on the floor - it feels very cold the closer his hand is - *fill tongue scene* - tries to pry some barricade to use to transport the lantern - Mordekai sees him and asks what he is doing - Paracelsus mentions he is trying to move the lantern but he doesn't have tools like tongues for it - Mordekai mentions that we are in a forge and it has tongues - Paracelsus asks for some - Fred, the drunk dwarf, hands him some - as the lantern is moved it casts no shadow - Paracelsus starts analyzing it - it appears as if it is seeing in the ethereal plane > **Spectral lantern** > can reveal ethereal plane and uncover hidden glyphs > dial on to that can be tuned between ethereal, normal and off with a bonus action > when ethereal it doesn't act in the normal world -

glimpses of ratlings around - sounds of something large being moved in a building - they are tearing at the corpses of the husks and hulks - some shards of delerium are taken too - they are not aggressive - Paracelsus studies some of the corpses - Hulk - CON 16 - no vulnerabilities - Husks - CON 10 - no vulnerabilities - Dregs - no resistances - no immunities - Gertrude finds Paracelsus very weird for doing that - sun goes up - 2 figures can be seen approaching - the dwarves seem happy to see them - it is Reginald and Elouise - they say hello to all the miners before going in the camp - Elouise casts cure wounds to Fred - Reginald asks if they were any losses - no peoples - a cannon was dinged - Reginald and Elouise praise the party for what they did despite being "surface dwellers" - Herton mentions that this is a proof of the strenght of the potential deal with the Amethyst Academy - Gertrude also tells the party they earned her respects - the dwarves agree to sign the paper for the partnership - the note was mentioned - Reginald is happy it worked - Paracelsus asks how we can communicate appart from him doing sending - Reginald hand a modified sending stone - it works albeit the city jamming - stuff like teleportation or sending works well only for shorter distances - the Dwarves invite the party in the office to sign the papers - they move off the table Mordekai's experiments - Paracelsus looks if he started to look at the needle - not yet - Mordekai mentions he saw Paracelsus interrested in the cannons - yes but too big and impractical - Mordekai offers to sell at a fair price stuff that goes boom - Paracelsus mentions it is more the poison knowledge exchange he is interested in - Mordekai will look at Paracelsus' craftmanship before - the papers are signed and firm handshakes are given - Mordekai thanks the party and mentions that a dwarve's trust is as strong as their steel - Baz is sleeping outside - Reginald and Quake - some exchanges about maybe helping for a fancy eyepatch - Mordekai mentions it can be done for a price - party departs with the objective of going to Eckerman Mill through the herbalism shop - towards the herbalism shop - there is a purple glow from a building window -

a heavy purple chest in a corner - Quake tries to pull the cristal with mage hand - it is stuck into the wall - the hand is stuck to it - Quake unsummons the hand - Quest tries to dislodge it with an eldritch blast -

sexy mimic - was the barstool - pseudo pods and grapples Baz - Quake - attacks the purple chest - is was curt mimic - Paracelsus - goes to the window - blows a powder towards sexy, virginal and curt mimic - only sexy saves - the rest are diseased because of pestilence - tiny mimic stumbles towards Baz - Baz finishes tiny mimic - curt mimic - diseased - dashes towards Quake - Herton - engages virginal mimic - booming blades virginal mimic - virginal mimic - is diseased - attacks Herton who shields - Quest - gets away from the diseased curt mimic - blasts it away 20ft with eldritch blast - sexy mimic bites Baz - Quake slaps curt mimic - Paracelsus bacterial barrage sexy mimic as it is diseased - Baz - steady aims - crits sexy mimic - wails from the grave virginal mimic - curt mimic - fails against the disease again -

Paracelsus starts to investigate the dead mimics - no resistances - immune to acid and prone - Quake tries to look if there is anything salvageable here - nothing of note - Herbalism shop - everyone enters - separated into 2 groups - Paracelsus and Herton are at A - Paracelsus looks through the lantern and see the other group while they are at B in the shop - Paracelsus will take notes of the tries - Baz, Quake and Quest are at B - if going all together it did not happen - after a few tries Quest manages to go though when going alone - Quake and Baz are still trying but to no avail - when holding hands it never worked - hard to predict when going alone - each time they entered and left the they became feinter in the ethereal view - it was try based not time based - not everyone had the same brightness - they need to no longer glow to be able to retry ? - towards Eckerman Mill - Baz sees a vision from his youth - he is a 10 year old - a much cuter kitten fur - looking wet under the rain - ducking into a hopefully abandoned house - cold and shivering - the rest of the party only see adult Baz reacting to a vision - party asks if he is ok - Baz is for now locked into the vision - after a while Baz comes back to his senses and explains he had an old memory - Eckerman Mill - *end of the session*
