"Oookay?"
Jim looks around. "I wonder if we can find one lying around somewhere? Actually, maybe whoever was supposed to control those had one in the office we could use?"
(1d20+4)[23] for Perception to see if that's the case.Active Chars:

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
The desk certainly had three drawers but those were locked - and no-one had left a golden little shield lying around.

putting up a finger to the group, Grim uses minor illusion to recreate the the badge, and aims its image at the mirror.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
The mirror was utterly unimpressed by the illusion:
"This is not a recognized badge of authority. Please present your badge of authority."
To the groups relieve, the mirror did not seem to be offended - or have any emotions at all - at this attempt of trickery.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
"Factory Status: Lava flow is off. Kiln 1, 2 and 3 are not operational. Heat vents are operational and active. Production is on standby since 200 years, 10 days, 6 hours, 21 minutes, 36 seconds. Raw material caches are low. Request to central authority for refill has been submitted 200 years, 10 days, 6 hours, 3 minutes, 6 seconds ago. Reply is pending. Teleportation circles are operational but inactive. Vault is closed and locked. Inventory available only with recognized badge of authority.
Do you want to change elements of the status quo?"
The mirror replied instantly.

Thraseous stood behind these three, his mouth opened with out a sound. He was speechless Who would pick defense mode he thought to himself and immediately withdrew his scimitar and hefted his shield into a defensive position.

"So... a thought occurs."
"Anything really useful we can do with that mirror, we'd probably need a badge of authority for."
He turns to Grim. "A real one, unfortunately. Although that was a clever move."
He turns back to address the group as a whole. "I'm not sure I want to take a look through those drawers to find one; the statues might animate themselves and attack, if we entered the office without disabling them. Maybe we should search the rest of the factory, and see if we can find one?"Last edited by whiteflash; 2021-04-05 at 05:55 PM.

“It was worth a try, I concur let us explore and come back, that mirror could be our key to everything in the factory. Let us check the other statuses before we keep exploring.”

The mirror promptly replied: "Main entrance is locked. Harbor hatch is locked. Vault door is locked. Armory door is closed but unlocked. Well access is open. Skylight is open. Teleportation bay access is locked.
Do you want to change the status quo? Please present your badge of authority to proceed."

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
The mirror took a moment longer before it answered: "Last report was sent 200 years, 10 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes, 18 seconds ago.
Suddenly, the face of a halfling with a magificent mustach appeared inside the mirror and spoke: "This is getting out of hand. I'm shutting down the factory and evacuating. We've made a big mistake, but I was able to seal everything in the vault. I'll go out and get help. I should be back soon. The constructs can contain the situation until then."
The face vanished and the mirror continued
"One other current report available. Divination only."
The mirror turned to a view of the factory floor from a position that corresponded with the sensor the team had noticed earlier. The room was filled with smoke or mist. Suddenly, a group of six people came into view, running towards the open vault. No details could be made out, but as soon as the last person had entered, the heavy door dropped from above, sealing it.

"I see. And since whatever they sealed in the vault is probably some sort of magical-industrial-accident, there's very little chance it's died of old age since then. So... we'll want to be ready for a fight when we open the vault."
He turns to Grim. "It works out pretty well that we're the ones opening the doors, since we're also pretty good at taking hits. We'll want to have our weapons already out before we start on the door, and then pick them up the second the lock's open."
"Of course, this assumes we actually open the vault door ourselves. We might not have to, if we can find a badge elsewhere in the factory."Active Chars:

"Seeing how it sealed them in, we also might want to devise a way of preventing the same happening to us." Lael adds.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
Thraseous looks in the workshop for something that could be used as a wedge to keep the vault open .

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
There are several tools, made of steel, but it's rather dubious if they could stop a door several tons worth from slamming shut.
While Thraseous looked, he felt an odd prickling in his neck.
There! Barely visible in the half shadowed portal, a large mass moved slowly across the floor, leaving it gleaming. Thraseous recognized it at once as an ooze, the infamous gelatinous cube. And this was a particularly big and hungry specimen.Last edited by Pyrophilios; 2021-04-07 at 07:44 AM.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
The cube wobbled closer, but not before receiving a red hot javelin in the center. The weapon started to dissolve, but some of the liquid inside the cube had blackened.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
Grim moved in the direction of his ally and the cube, getting close enough to have line of sight. His eyes flaring red 3 fiery orbs form in front of his chest and blast into the cube (23 damage total from the 3 blasts).

Upon seeing the gelatinous cube, certainly a monstrous encounter on her "this is a proper adventure" checklist, Lael thinks to herself "this is a job for astral punches!" and leaps into action, summoning her astral arms and swinging away with gusto. She is quite amused by the wobbly effect punching the cube produces.

Moves to 10 feet away from the cube.

Jim winces when he sees the kid in the group run towards the gelatinous cube instead of away from it. He draws his sword and charges the cube, hoping to distract it from the small child.
As Jim draws his sword, he chants a short passage on betrayal. His blade starts to glow. When he reaches the cube, he slashes it twice.
First attack: 14 to hit, 7 slashing damage, 3 radiant damage, 5 fire damage
Second attack: 24 to hit, 11 slashing damage, 4 radiant damage, 6 fire damage

110 Damage total in the first round. Not bad. But this is no CR 2 GC...
The cube tries to engulf Jim - DC 15 Dex Save please or be restrained and suffer (9d6)[35] acid damage
The cube was severely leaking from several tears now, although no-one would have confused the acrid smelling goo for tears. Around Jim, the cube suddenly formed a sort of cave, trying to engulf the paladin and subsequently digest him.

Jim gulps when he sees that his attempt to draw the cube's attention to himself has actually worked.
"Better me than the kid, I guess," he notes as he tries to dodge its embrace.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
Jim's bravery was rewarded with a not particularly relaxing acid bath.
Spoiler
120 Damage
To escape you need to take an action and make a Strength DC 15 check to escape
At the Cube's turn you take (18d6)[76] acid damage - unless your friends manage to kill it before it gets another turn.

Thraseous invokes his hunter Mark on the foe. He threw his two javelins striking the cube twice. The drake bites at the cube striking it with infused fire.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
The combined efforts of the team literally split the cube in half. Acrid fluids sprayed everywhere, but Jim at least was free again.

Re: [IC] Kung's Island
Grim runs over and helps him up out of the goo.
“Are you in possession of all of your parts in working order”
Not waiting for a response I start searching (10 investigation) the left over goo for any glassware or the metallic symbol, hoping that the ooze maybe picked either up along the way.
