Kaelestia
Hp: 7/8 - AC: 5 " Maybe we will find another route, let us not lose hope." - Kaelestia says, before going toward the mirror along with Sha'al. - " The kender was touching the mirror when it activated, maybe that is a further requirement as well." - she says, touching the mirror as Sha'al tries different command words.

As soon as Sha'al speaks the word 'down' the mirror shimmers again, allowing anyone to walk through it and come out from the mirror on the floor below.

Shame we can't just say 'Nix' or 'Home'. Sha'al mutters

Once everyone walks through the mirror, it's easy enough from there to use the platforms to descend to the ground floor again. After moving past the stuck demon (who mentally screams at them in protest), they make their way back to the alter room where the cache of coin they left behind sits, still waiting for them.

"What if we don't find another mirror in here?" Sumina asks the others.

Then we need to find a safe way out.

Arthogate "Let us worry about that after we are sure we have searched every area of this place first."

As the party finishes gathering up the coin, they hear a strange whistle in the distance. It sounds like it's getting closer. Then, all of a sudden, there's a loud crash at the entrance and the entire mountain side shakes for a few moments.
Those with keener, elven ears, can hear distant voices coming from the landing...

Sha'al readies his trident and shield, praying silently to Zeboim that the bizarre interruption didn't portent Kender or Tinker-Gnomes

Sumina pulls out her great sword, and cautiously walks towards where she hears the voices.

Arthogate unsure of what weapon to draw takes up his bow and readies an arrow hoping he can get a couple ranged shots in before melee ensues if a battle is forthcoming.

Sha'al sneaks up to take a peek outside, hopefully without being seen

Laden with coin, weapons at the ready, the party tries to stealthily approach the landing. As they get closer, they can hear the voices more clearly. But they are rather indecipherable. It sounds like multiple people speaking at a rapid pace over each other at the same time. Sha'al is the only one that recognizes the language, but it's so rapid-paced, overlapped and filled with jargon that he can't really make out much. Something about 'xeno-gyro stabilizers' and 'secondary hydrodynamic couplers.'
Peeking outside, the party encounters a most curious sight. It appears to be a boat, at first glance. But a giant balloon has been tied to it. The boat seems to have had a minor crash into the citadel. Small humanoid figures--tinker gnomes--are running all over the deck, shouting at each other in a ludicrously fast speed over each other, creating a cacophony of Gnomish. While shouting, they are also working. They use wrenches and a variety of other tools on a number of devices all over the ship. It's the most chaotic form of cooperation the party has ever witnessed.
