Tal... just... shoots the weapon rack? It shouts in pain. then it all clicks... mimic! He knows that anything that touches it may get stuck.
All eyes turn towards the weapon rack, but unfortunately, something else giggles.
The door to the north just laughed a little.

Elena moves into the room, sees Noroc holding a mimic, and knowing that the creature will not let go unless coerced... decides that she has exactly the spell for the situation.
"Release!" she shouts at the mimic, pouring magic into the word.
Carrufikus casts electric arc and extends the reach of the arc to reach both the weapon rack and the door to the north.
Elena immediately frees Noroc with the power of her magically enhanced voice.
Zip
Zap
The weapon rack immediately screams at Carrufikus, "OI! That's my wife!"

Huh. I thought the WIFE would have a nice rack...
Peldur rushes forward, sliding into Tiger Stance, and strikes out at the weapon rack in a flurry of blows.
Peldur rushes in and strikes a piece of the rack clean off. "THAT'S MY HUSBAND YOU SMELLY SOLID!"
The door pulls it's "hinges" out and shouts at Peldur, "TIMBERRRRRRRR YOU BASTARD!" as it falls on his head.
for
The rack cheers "her" on, "AWWW YEAH!"
So the door starts to um... hump Peldur:
for
"Okay, maybe not so vigorously..."
MISS
The weapon rack looks at Carrufikus with a single eye on it's cross bar, "What're you looking at tubby?"
He then thwacks the gnome about the head.
for "YEAH HA!"
It then whips something out at Noroc:
MISS

Wait wait...WE'RE getting wrecked by the FURNITURE?!?! What is this, a luau???
She hustles forward next to Peldur and the humping door, trying to stab it away.
Bibi stabs at the door, connecting twice with her blade.

Peldur gets grabbed in a very uncomfortable place!
Noroc avoids a sticky situation.
He moves over behind the rest of the group, knowing his numbness will not be a boon to being grappled, and unleashes a moonbeam of divine energy at the weapon rack.
Trying to aim around Carrufikus has its drawbacks.
Noroc's spell misses by a hair, but at least he's not stuck.

Recall Lore: Any weaknesses or resistances?
Tal shoots the door, hoping hurt it enough for it to let Peldur go.
,
,
Carrufikus casts another electric arc to zap the furniture! "Zapplearkum!" He exclaims as he casts his shocking spell.
Tal doesn't recall any weaknesses for a mimic, nor any resistances. His second arrow hits, but doesn't release the brawler.
Carrufikus lands one of the best Electric Arcs of his life!

Ha! Weirder things than you have grabbed me there!
Peldur continues to battle the door.
Elena first moves to get a better view of both creatures. Then, seeing how effective electricity was coming from the Desnan, she decides to hurl electricity at the mimics.
She is disappointed at how feeble her magic is in comparison. It's a rare moment of feeling inadequate for the wizard.

Peldur starts a bit off, but his attacks pick up steam as he connects twice with the door. Suddenly, all that board breaking makes a lot more sense. His follow up hit shatters it!
MAH WIFE!" the weapon rack groans.
But in the end it doesn't matter, weak as it was, Elena's spell ended the second mimic.
MAH WIFE!" the weapon rack groans
Bibi stops, looking sad. That...was kind of a bummer.
With the mimics dispatched, the party is free to properly check this room and the room to the north.
Shattered jars fill the supply room in the north. Among the debris, the heroes can find a few intact bottles, including a properly labeled lesser sea touch elixir and a corked glass bottle.
Carrufikus checks out the corked glass bottle and tries to determine its properties. ”Hmm? I wonder what they keep in here?”
It's definitely a magical item, something called Bottled Air.
That's AWESOME!
"Look at this! This is amazing! Air, air, air! Lots of fresh air! And the best part, it never runs out! That's an like infinity air. So, if one of you plans to go underwater or hold your breath for a long time, bring this bottle with you! So, who wants it?"
Whomever is closest to Peldur most often is my vote. :-)
"A bottle, filled forever with hot air. Only a man would think this is a good thing."
Elena grins as she says this, looking at Peldur, Noroc, and Talborel.
"A good substitute for wizards, when you don't have one around", Tal says with a shrug.
"What's our next move? Let us check the door to the south."
Tal moves into position.

Padded furniture has blossomed into mounds of white fungus in this small waiting room.
Careful! As you keep your eyes peeled entering the room, you see that the fungus airborn and most likely HIGHLY toxic! Best to leave unless there's a way to clear the air.
"Everyone back! Highly poisonous airborne spores!"
"A good substitute for wizards, when you don't have one around", Tal says with a shrug.
Bibi gives a very unladylike snort at Papa Tal's sally

"Everyone back! Highly poisonous airborne spores!"
"Just the sort of situation that might be improved by a bottle of fresh, breathable air."
He takes the bottle and starts to move south, breathing only from the bottle.
He ignites his smoking longsword carefully burns away the fungus.
Elena chuckles at the strange fortune when Tal puts the bottled air to use. "Look, everyone! A man now full of hot air!"
It's clearly a joke, and she's nonetheless impressed by the ingenuity of the moment.
Tal's idea works like a charm, burning away the fungus, and making the room safe to explore.
"Thanks, Tal. That situation seemed unbreathable!"
Once he's reasonably sure it's save, Tal pokes around the room looking for clues and stuff.
CLUES AND STUFF!
Perception +17
In the cushions of the sofa are 13 assorted silver pieces, minted centuries ago by a long-shuttered mint that are worth 4 gp each to a collector.
In his time near the door to the South, Tal hears nothing on the other side.
"If the coins are centuries old, I wonder if the sofa is that old too? Hundreds of years ago, somebody sat on that cushion and lost their silver pieces out of their pockets. This is a good reminder to put your silver in a pouch before sitting down on the sofa."
"If the coins are centuries old, I wonder if the sofa is that old too? Hundreds of years ago, somebody sat on that cushion and lost their silver pieces out of their pockets. This is a good reminder to put your silver in a pouch before sitting down on the sofa."
Bibi nods her head seriously, and wags a pointed finger at Carrufikus.
...Wisdom!!
Not wanting to go down the holes just yet, Tal closes both hatches and moves to the southern door. He opens it and guides the party south.
This sitting room glows from the light of a fire, crackling pleasantly in a web-choked fireplace on the east wall. A large divan has been pushed up against the door to the northwest. Several pitons pounded into the gap between the stone door and its frame ensure it remains shut.
There's a fire going?!? in a web-choaked fireplace?!?
Is it magical? Is it an illusion?
Tal steps a little closer. The fire gives off no warmth, onlylight.
"Be careful, Tal. If it looks nice and cozy it probably is not."
Carrufikus remains vigilant at the back of the party, looking around for anything that sneaks up from behind.
Probably a mimic too, Noroc mutters underneath his breath.
Worried that the weapon rack had a side piece , Noroc treads carefully.
Nothing seems to be sneaking up on anyone.
Tal moves to the door with the divan and the pitons. He gives a listen.
Silent as a tomb.
"If it sounds like a tomb, it probably is. Everyone stay vigilant. Lead us onward, Tal! Bibi, is the door safe?"
Initiative assumes Talborel is Scouting
