Albert to the Man: So what is this place I would really like to know other than this monastery crap The man stares at Albert, a bit put off by his rudeness. bixby: ya.. we wanna know more about this place so we can have a better idea about how to deal with this place... for example its not normal to have to go inside a mirror to get somewhere. The man appreciated Bixby's more formal approach to questioning. Man: "Oh, but the mirrors are important. The mirrors are the only passages here that can both keep those unwanted guests locked in, or to find safety in the darkness. While the reflection may reveal a horrifying truth beyond, it is still to be regarded as safety, so long as you don't reach through." |

 Summary / Last Time on Monastery Here is the summary of where things stand for today (these events run from page 1 to 4): 1. Bixby climbs onto a chair, and it's tall so he's having a harder time getting onto it. 2. Oliver tries to elbow Milkmire, but he dodges it and then lies about being bullied and abused. He is not told to stand in a corner, where a bronze ornament falls from a shelf and hits him on the head, but he continues to stand there anyways. 3. Albert is unable to use his ability in this room. 4. Bixby eats imaginary food, and then a man appears sitting at the end of the table. The group wonders if he's been there all along. He welcomes the heroes to eat at the table, and now all of the group can see chicken and mashed potatoes, etc. a whole feast. 5. The man speaks of an odd tale. He confirms that Bixby did bring the ship back to life. But that there was evil attached to it, leeching the ship, and our heroes killed the leech. He explains that the island was not always evil until a new owner took over and began poisoning its guests. 6. Oliver throws chicken at Bixby, shouting that the food might be poisoned, but the man waves off that notion. 7. Albert is rude to the man, so he doesn't answer his questions. Bixby is not rude, so his questions are answered. The man explains that the mirrors may be frightening, but they offer safe keeping and safe travels. |

Man: "Oh, you can't leave. I am the one who called for you to be here. I needed assistance, and you all came to my shores. I do not know who you are, but I thank you for your arrival, and for dealing with that menacing beast on the shoreline." Oliver, whispering to Milkmire and Tim: Not sure I trust the man. He's givin me a bad feelin. Man: "I understand your concern and how it would be difficult to trust anyone under the circumstance, but your assistance is dire." Milkmire: Boiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Man: "So you, too, have seen the child?" bixby: i apologize for the improper behavior of my companions. they were not brought up well. i also suspect retardation. please tell us how to go home. Man: "I will send you all on a fond farewell if you can assist me with the task at hand. I want to return this castle to it's former glory, but I cannot do so with Count Orlok Shreck at the helm." |

bixby: so henry.. what do you need? how can we help you? and why is count orleck a problem? who is he? as long as i can go home afterwards ill help out just need more information. Henry Edward: "There are 13 mirrors in this house that are linked to an identical mirror elsewhere. This castle, while appearances on the outside suggest it is a manageable building, is not as it seems. Consider each of these mirrors to be a portal to another location. Count Orlok bricked off the areas he wanted to refuse access to fortify the place. He's trapped many souls within after their poisoning and other treacherous acts of villainy. My doorman has been bound by dark magics to remain in the hall of mirrors at the entrance. I, too, am trapped within. But there is a shard. A shard that once was shattered. I have been working in secretly for a concoction that I believe could unite the pieces together, but these shards are somewhere within the mirrors. And I am unable to travel through these portals due to the curse applied by Orlok Shreck. If you can locate these shards and bring them to me, perhaps I can use my experiment to unite the fragments and make whole again and free the souls within. If you can do this for me, I will provide you with a ship to return you on your journey home." |
