1: A New Day
[The gang is woken up again by the shrieking mirror]

[Ashiok goes back to sleep]

[Tormine decides to quit the group & stop carrying the mirror]

[Quill plants the mirror in Ashiok’s equipment]

[The gang meets in the Great Hall, where party cleanup is underway]

[King Caudio enters, along with several attendants and Dirk]

[Dirk & Caudio give background info on Ramor, it’s ruins, and the ancient Averuent house that used to hold the throne]

[The King provides access to a group of guards that will escort the gang to Ramor]

[Jaz and Nidala tell the group that they’re going to stay at Castle Romaja to be educated about magic & to get off the streets for a bit. They tell them that “We’ll be here when you need us.”]

[As they leave the city, the party bumps into an old acquaintance: Erwin. He now carries with him a machine that can create random magical items. They buy several items from him, including the “Deck of Many ‘ings” and a Cloak of Grace. Before they part ways, they realize that Erwin’s cat is dead, despite his assurances that the cat is just fine, as Erwin stuffs slices of deli meat through the cracks in the crate.]

[Quill, Ashiok, & Bahlron head to Ramor]

[once there, they search the ruins of an old manor that has been swallowed by wilderness]

[eventually, they find an excavated passage, and the mirror shard opens a secret staircase underground]

[they end up in a circular room. Across the room is a mirror with a single missing piece]

[the mirror shard flies out of Ashiok’s hands, slides into place, and the Mirror of Aescheles mends itself completely]

[The image in the mirror fades, and they hear a little girl’s cry for help from the other side]
