Month #5: Level Three of the Found Tombs of Arvakaten

Four months down and we are still going! For May we return to the Found Tombs of Arvakaten to see what horrors are lurking on level three of the mega-dungeon crypt-complex.

The Found Tombs of Arvakaten, Level Three

Hall of Bronze Mirrors (#1/31; #121/365)

"The stairs descend into a large octagonal chamber, where your light source reveal four walls, each directly opposite another, have decaying wooden doors leading to parts unknown. The other four walls feature large sheets of polished bronze, curiously untarnished and offering crude reflections of yourselves as you descend the stairs."

Contents: Each bronze mirror is actual a portal containing a Mirror Demon, and all them will leap from the mirrors and attack once the Heroes descend into the room. The Mirror Demons will not wound the Heroes but attempt to drag them into a portal. Every time a Mirror Demon wins an Attack Round it will drag a Hero a little bit closer to a portal; it takes 4 Attack Rounds won by the Mirror Demon to completely capture a Hero in this way.

The portals lead to a ruined temple at an oasis overgrown with fungi on the Demonic Plane of Rust (see Rough Guide to the Pit, p. 15). This, and other locations from that Plane, will be described in a later month on this blog.

The Mirror Demons will not pursue anyone who leaves the room either by the door or the stairs.

Stats:

4 MIRROR DEMONS: SKILL 10, STAMINA 10, Small Claws

Scattered around the room are several dismembered skeletons and 2-12 tarnished silver pieces.
