[QUOTE="The_Warlock, post: 5425162, member: 21215"] [B]37. Mirror, Mirror[/B] At some point, when the group comes upon a room with a large mirror in it, one member of the group will hear faint grunts of pain. No one else can hear the sound. Looking into the mirror will reveal the expected reflection, except that the character who can hear the sound will notice that the reflection of themselves has clenched teeth, and a fearful, desperate look in his/her eyes. It then seems to notice that it's reflection is different, and writes, either in dust on the floor, or furniture, or on the mirror itself, "Help" which appears backwards, and then surreptitiously points to a melee weapon on the real character. If other members of the party are also in the reflection, the mirror-character seems to be trying to avoid letting the mirror-party notice it's attempt at communication. If the real character puts the requested weapon, or another "helpful" item, down so that it is reflected near the mirror-self and unattended, the mirror self picks it up. The mirror self then assaults or is assaulted by mirror images of the real character's companions, and the mirror-self is born down in a pile of aggressive doppelgangers who reveal knobby skin, goat-like eyes and shark-toothed maws. The mirror self fights valiantly but is born out of view by the assault, at the last minute ripping an amulet from it's neck and throwing it at the mirror, which shatters upon contact. Any real character must avoid a deadly barrage of silvered glass if within 10' of the mirror. If searched afterwards, the real character will find the item it "gave" to it's mirror self is gone, though trails of green-grey blood spatter the back of the mirror shards. Amid the ruined glass is a necklace and amulet made of incredibly crafted glass chain links and a stylized glass eye which are as hard as steel. If worn it grants some form of benefits to perceiving disguises, illusions, and shapeshifters. Or perhaps just makes the wearer think normal folk are disguised horrors... [/QUOTE]
