Funny, It's Spelled Just Like Escape
General Summary
The party continued to rummage through the massive hall searching for clues. Oliver searched the blackboards to find a cartoon of a mimic eating pudding and shortly after found a recipe for Jorenfruit Chocolate Mousse on one of the workbenches. Gourm found salt in the eye of the dragon skull and extricated with the help of Caldwell who disabled a latch trap in the glass case. Fizzik continued to search around and found a preservation tank with draxie cadavers inside as well as saved a dragonling that was in need of some warmth found by Gourm. Caldwell also decided to forgo looking for a key and quickly picked the lock only to find a series of knobs and keys that had to be overcome before finding a pouch of cocoa powder. Oliver found a sink with what appeared at first to be glyphs but were instead small images split in half on each faucet handle. When aligned, Oliver was able to gather first honey then milk for the recipe. This was followed by a steam bath as an incorrect combination set of a powerful steam vent trap in his face (twice).
Only the jorenfruit remained. Caldwell attempted to reach into each gullet of the taxidermy dragons but found nothing bit wire and open air within. As the party contemplated what to do about the fruit, Oliver began following a lead of his own after Caldwell found a spellbook on the table at the back of the hall. First a spell of prestidigitation was used to light the burner releasing a gas that exposed an extravagant painting of a man with a dragon curled upon his shoulder. Then a casting of telekinetic hand and a quick wave had him disappear back into the wall showing the sign of a rams' horn. Unfortunately, before the party or Oliver could finish their plans, the mimic announced that time was up. Caldwell attempted to buy more time, but unfortunately the rug was not consoled. Besella , about to crawl into the mouth of the red drake, felt warm air and thought better of it, instead watching both the drake and winged serpent stretch and combat ensued.
