Journal Entry 005 - Little Big Trouble

After being reduced in size, the PCs tried finding a solution in the basement complex's 3 rooms. Zook entered the body of the wooden mannequin and saw that it had the infrastructure to walk like an automaton, though it was missing its heart. Entering the room with the wooden garbage Zook searched for suitable materials to craft one, while Thokk befriended the cat by the use of lung treats.

Nightal 20: Then they repaired (in 6 hours) the automaton, entered its head, and exited via the sewers. They ascended in Snail Street, amidst surprised passers-by, and quickly made way to Zook's house. There they left the automaton. They then decided to return to the Greel Warehouse.

In Virgin's Square Thokk stopped a half-goblin lady, Svetlana Ash (hairy, well groomed back), and somehow managed to convince her to take them on her for a ride, since she was heading towards the Warehouse. Once again they found themselves in the basement that they had left a few hours before, and this time they crawled into a cat-sized tunnel that they had discovered previously. There they found a small opening which held a sack with 5 gold candles and one glass lens. Zook took the lens (which looked like a shield in comparison to him), while both of them together moved the candles to the table room with the candelabra. They then proceeded to light one golden candle at a time on the candelabra. With each candle their size increased - they didn't stop at the 3 candles that brought them to their normal size. Instead they lit one more, reaching prodigious dimensions: Thokk 2.5 metres, and Zook 1.5.

They then left again, taking with them candles and candelabra, and returned to Zook's house. The day after, Monday Nightal 21, Zook visited Mazel's Quality Glasswork in Trades Quarter, next to the City Gate. This shop has stained glass windows which during the evening make the surroundings colourful. Mazel is a dark elf, 80 years now in Waterdeep. Mazel revealed to Zook that the lens he had discovered was made at least 100 years ago, by one of 3 possible persons (according to the faint signature): Polari Kent (elf, grandfather of Laspoff, died 120 years before), Sarpalia (human apprentice of Halaster, unknown fate), Curi Loom (gnome, inventor and magician, lived 150 years ago, fate unknown). The lens has the ability to make details  of objects within 100ft become clear in the user's eye, but has the drawback of revealing the user's vision to the lens creator.
