As Grup manages to jump out of the way of the swarm, Lanben and Amvilla attempt to see if they can find a way to the shards. They find that the paths towards the East and West have softer and wetter ground than the rest, meaning that either path could possibly lead to the Dark Pool or the Putrid Bog that was mentioned...

Aodh: Level 20 Half-Elf Cleric of Life - Not really. It's a strange being that had possessed and broke down a level 20 Cleric of Life Domain, gaining his knowledge and power.

As the party continue onward down the path, they eventually come to its end. They see a small pool of calm, dark water lies nestled in a secluded clearing. It seems that there is nothing here that stands out aside from that...

As Lanben looks into the the pool, two delicate figures rise gracefully from the still pool. The painfully beautiful creatures have long black hair that falls down their bare backs before gathering around their waists on the surface of the water.
The two dark beauties stare at the group for a moment with calm, suspicious eyes before at last speaking,
"Why have you come to our pool? Are you here to harm us?"

"Yes, we'd like to avoid a fight if possible," Amvilla adds with a smile. "It would be great if you could give us the shard...but if you don't happen to have it, maybe you can point us in the direction of one?"

The two believe your words, but are wary nonetheless. They trust you for now.
"What do you plan to do with the shards? They harbor the Dusk Queen's power, but they can corrupt the being of an individual if they are not prepared for it."

"I will use the shard's power against the Queen to destroy her for good. I am a very powerful sorcerer and should have no trouble wielding their great power."
Stormbringer looks back.
"...Unless, of course, anyone takes issue with that approach?"

"So you are yet another seeker of power...Begone from this place. Regardless of how powerful you are, the mirror shards hold a part of the Queen's soul. To use them against her would be to attempt to have her harm herself."

Shaking her head at Grup's latest antics, Amvilla tries to search for any hints in the forest that could help the group look for shards.

Lanben says " the east or west seems like an easy way to get to the dark pool or putrid bog. Do you guys prefer a shard?"
“I suppose it’s all the same. Pick a direction and let’s go.”
Gash - Lvl14 Goblin Wizard - The High Court of the Aasimar Queen
"What about the rest of you?"
"I don't care either way," Amvilla shrugs. "But let's go west, why not?"
So lanben goes west.

Lanben is going to try to see if he can see anything in the black pool. Perception 18
As Lanben looks into the the pool, two delicate figures rise gracefully from the still pool. The painfully beautiful creatures have long black hair that falls down their bare backs before gathering around their waists on the surface of the water.

The two look at each other for a moment before facing the group again and asking,
"You know of the shards? Are you here to collect them for her? Are you here to destroy them?"
