((Okay. That's actually pretty good for you. As you'll see...))
Through a successful effort of navigation and sneaking, the group manages to avoid the strange trees. As they 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...

Liam the Weak: Level 4 Human Fighter - Trying to fight against his other personality, and constantly losing.
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.
"*****": Level 1 Tiefling Sorcerer - Her family is dead, and her will is broken. She follows orders so that those that command her will allow her to die.
As Eudith approaches the pool, She witnesses something happen. 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 Eudith for a moment with calm, suspicious eyes before at last speaking,
"Why have you come to our pool? Are you here to harm us?"

One of them looked worried. Had they not appeared, the poor woman would have done something that may have harmed her in time.
"To drink from this pool is not wise, unless you are like us", said one. The other spoke after her.
"At the bottom of this pool lies a terrible object of power. The magic within it has tainted this pool with dark magic."

They keep their suspicion-filled gaze on Anora, saying,
"This item, when reunited with its other pieces, has the power to conquer almost any country. You would have us trust you to keep it hidden away where no one else can find it?"

"We do not know. We would have tried, if not for its power filling us. Before we could attempt to destroy it ourselves, our bodies and home had been corrupted by its power. Even though we want to destroy it, its power prevents us to do so."

Anora shares Eudith's conviction. "I don't have any interest in that kind of power; it's the kind that enslaves in the end. I'd rather it be out of the world than in it."
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rengar emerges from the brush in which he's been hiding. "What measures did you take to destroy this artifact? If you have tried and failed- perhaps we should seek more knowledge before acting." He stands at the edge of the forest, eyes locked with the watery figures, keeping an eye out for sincerity with their reply. Insight: 18
"Were you not listening? We were not even able to attempt destroying it. Any attempt we have made to destroy it has ended with its power stopping our bodies."
Rengar detects nothing that indicates them lying.

They dive down into the pool again, and for a long moment, they are gone...When they return to the surface, they use some sort of magic to carry it. The object is...small. By appearances alone, it seems to be but a normal glass shard that can be held by hand...

"Is anybody else thirsty? My waterskin's been empty for a while now." Eudith will go up to the pool in order to get some water.
It's been a while since Rengar cast Primevil Awareness. He takes a moment to ping that once again, staying hidden off to the side.

Anora is just getting ready for something to spring out of the water
Desarian touches his staff and murmurs a word, causing it to start glowing faintly, preparing for possible danger as well.
(Shillagh on the staff, also ready in caes something springs out of the water or attack while Eudith fills up the waterskin)
As Eudith approaches the pool, She witnesses something happen. 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.

Eudith is surprised. "I was just hoping to get some water; no harm intended, I'll leave if you like!"
One of them looked worried. Had they not appeared, the poor woman would have done something that may have harmed her in time.

Anora perks up at the mention of the object. "What does this object look like, exactly?"
The two narrow their eyes in suspicion of Anora.
” What would you do if this item is what you are expecting?”

She just shrugs "Take it far from here."

Eudith is now convinced that they have a shard of the mirror. "Pardon me for asking, but can the item not be destroyed for good?"
"We do not know. We would have tried, if not for its power filling us. Before we could attempt to destroy it ourselves, our bodies and home had been corrupted by its power. Even though we want to destroy it, its power prevents us to do so."

Anora calm as before, asks, "Can you bring it up to us, or does it resist being moved, too?"
