| The Mirror House of [[Goldvale]] is a house the PC's bought for the price of one cow, sold to them by the bartender at [[The Card House]]. It's a roughly square small one story house with a couple of windows((1 front, 1 side, and a front door)). Inside it it came unfurnished and according to the bartender it has a history of unexplained vacancies, thus keeps defaulting back to being for sale, with the bartender just sort of the de-facto real estate agent in these parts because The Card House is the central hub of town and the town's leadership isn't clear otherwise to take charge. | =====Mirror House===== |
| | |
| | The **Mirror House**'s current owner is [[Preston]] who found himself transported to [[Goldvale]] which he was entirely unfamiliar with via the [[Disorienting Scrunchie]]. It transported him directly to the house's special chamber where a [[Kuo-Toa_Idol]] and Statue changed him, turning him from an obvious undead state to something more living seeming. His brief time in Goldvale has found him officially taking ownership of the house with the blessing of [[Jack]] since the former owners vanished a couple months before he arrived. Those owners being of course [[Eyrun]] & [[Jules]]. This has resulted in 3 more statues forming in not too long of a time to keep him feeling "alive" entirely due to their power. Given that he is from the [[Tropeical Sea]] where these same Kuo-Toa [[gods]] are worshiped, this is all oddly fitting even though they have all ended up far inland on another continent. Preston has essentially made the house his own, has no pets, changed the locks, and does not consider this to be the house of any former owners. |

| | ====When The Campaign Started==== |
| | |
| | The **Mirror House** of [[Goldvale]] //was// a house that PCs [[Eyrun]] & [[Jules]] bought for the price of one cow((Cow acquired from [[Ema]].)), sold to them by the bartender [[Jack]] at [[The Card House]]. It is a roughly square small one story house with a couple of windows((1 front, 1 side, and a front door)). Inside it it came unfurnished and according to the bartender it has a history of unexplained vacancies, thus keeps defaulting back to being for sale, with the bartender just sort of the de-facto real estate agent in these parts because The Card House is the central hub of town and the town's leadership isn't clearly defined otherwise. |

| | Once PCs took ownership they found a backdoor on the inside made entirely of mirror, the handle and hinges even made of it. But no door can be seen from the outside behind the building. Being ballsy and opening the door players discovered a mirror image of their house on the other side, where one enters from the Mirror Door, into the mirror's, Mirror Door. All windows of this secondary mirror house are mirrors and unopenable. The front door however looks normal and can be opened to reveal the void of space and stars! When PCs experimented with this the effect was like oxygen getting sucked out an airlock in any sci-fi, suddenly created air pressure pulling at them before they closed the secondary front door. They have yet to figure out the mystery of this house beyond that. |
| | |
| | PCs [[Urist]] & [[Alimir]] also used this house as a base of operations with the blessing of the others. |
| | |
| | For awhile they turned the normal part of the house into a place to hide and keep their inappropriate "pet" [[Sunny]] the Baby Owlbear. This resulted in constant undesirable feces issues. It was also before the place started to become furnished thankfully. Socks became an outdoor pet eventually for better or worse.((As of a game session on Feb 24, 2026.)) It was formerly also the home of [[Socks]] until it became obvious keeping unicorns indoors wasn't viable.((There's a certain [[Zingle|cleric]] with some thoughts on that.)) |

| | |
| | ====Special Furnishings==== |
| | |
| | The Party acquired special expensive furniture from the giants of [[Mustardia]] which can be found in the house now. |
| | |
| | * **Stormwood Dining Table**: A grand oval table crafted from ancient wood struck by lightning, its surface polished to reveal swirling storm patterns and embedded with silver runes that faintly glow during thunderstorms. Seats up to 12 comfortably. Value: 3,000 gp. (Alimir's pick.) |
| | * **Nimbus Wardrobe**: A tall cabinet made from layered mistwood panels that shift translucently, adorned with gold filigree depicting cloud giant nobility. Inside, compartments seem to expand magically for storage. Value: 2,200 gp. (Eyrun's pick.) |
| | * "**[[The Mistwood|Mistwood]]**" is a kind of hardwood that most commonly comes from a super foggy area of [[Backstories|Havenspass]]. |
| | * **Zephyr Bookshelf**: A multi-tiered shelving unit carved from petrified fog, with shelves that curve like rolling waves and inlaid electrum accents symbolizing wind spirits. It whispers faint lore when books are placed upon it. Value: 1,500 gp. (Jules' pick) |
| | * **Thunderclap Sideboard**: A long buffet table of resonant stone, its drawers and doors engraved with motifs of crashing waves and storms, reinforced with iron bands that echo like thunder when opened. Ideal for storing fine dishware. Value: 2,800 gp. (Urist's pick) |

| | ====Kuo-Toa Idols & Statues==== |
| | |
| | Stashed inside of the mirror room((Just a potential name for the place.)) between normal house & extra-dimensional space were a [[Kuo-Toa Idol]] & a [[Kuo-Toa Idol|Kuo-Toa Statue]]. The later came into being after Sunny got into a battle with a half-orc trying to snoop around((Probably looking for the Shovel Of Alden.)). The idol likely did a lot of healing during that battle and maxed out as a 500LBS statue, and budded off a new idol to carry on the Kuo-Toa-fication of the realm. |
| | |
| | * With [[Preston]] living here however 3 more statues have formed due to his use and seemingly willing acceptance of Kuo-Toa sea deities. |
| |
| Once PCs took ownership they found a backdoor on the inside made entirely of mirror, the handle and hinges even made of it. But no door can be seen from the outside behind the building. Being ballsy and opening the door players discovered a mirror image of their house on the other side, where one enters from the Mirror Door, into the mirror's, Mirror Door. All windows of this secondary mirror house are mirrors and unopenable. The front door however looks normal and can be opened to reveal the void of space and stars! When PCs experimented with this the effect was like oxygen getting sucked out an airlock in any sci-fi, suddenly created air pressure pulling at them before they closed the secondary front door. | |
| |
| They have yet to figure out the mystery of this house beyond that, but quickly turned the normal part of the house into a place to hide and keep their inappropriate "pet" charges [[Socks]] & [[Sunny]]. | |
