Toi: Toi resists the urge to clean, though it is hard due to her old programming.
Gillain: Gillain pokes and prods the torn and rotting tiger skin rug. The rug has spent too many days on the floor of a dilapidated home. Decay has set upon the rug and as Gillain prods with her spear, the rug starts to come apart in pieces.
James and Ermren: seeing the scene outside, Ermren tries to open the patio door. The door appears to be locked. Ermren makes several attempts but the door will not budge. James pitches in, to no avail. Frustrated Ermren strikes the patio door with his hammer. Ermren strikes the door and there is a resounding thud that echos through the room. The patio door remains shut.
Dmitri: Taking up his usual stance as rear guard Dmitri surveys the room and the party's action from the doorway. He is roused from his observation by Ermren strike the patio door. The sound seems to echo throughout the room and travels out into the main hall to parts unknown.
Bob: Bob looks through the vanity and its many small drawers. To Bob's dwarven delight he finds a jewelry box. To his trained dwarven eye he sees it is made of silver with gold edging. Inside the jewelry box, he finds 3 gold rings, a platinum necklace with a topaz pendant, and what appears to be a wand made of 2 types of wood with a handle carved in the shape of a windmill. Bod feels a bit of pride and happiness from his find.
Abruptly the party hears a scream from inside the room. The sound of it is male and filled with fear. Each of you turns, reaching for weapons. You see Bob on his backside on the floor using his hands to pull himself along the floor away from the vanity.
James and Gillain: You both turn in time to see an image that seems to be made of smoke inside the mirror. You only catch a glimpse as it vanishes.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Gillain is standing prodding the rug, right near Bob, as he screams and clambers back towards her on the floor...
She looks up just in time to see something in the mirror that he's trying to get away from. "Bob are you okay?!... Oh gods! The mirror!!...", she calls to the party. And she swings her spear down onto the mirror, trying to smash it...
Dmitri is startled by Bob's cry. He spins to regard the room once more as he was focused on the hallway and being certain nothing snuck up on the party during their exploration of the room. He quickly takes in Bob scuttling back away from the vanity as Gillain cries warning about the mirror and shatters it with a strike from her spear.
Dmitri crosses the few steps to Bob's side and assists the startled Bob to his feet. As he does so he inquires, "Bob! Are you unharmed, comrade? What startled you so?", Dmitri helps the diminutive dwarven druid to his feet with his concern apparent on his face.
Bob lets his newfound riches spill through his fingers with a delighted chuckle, reveling in his good fortune and keen eye. His celebration was short-lived, however, as he sees some ghastly apparition in the mirror that sends him sprawling on the floor in a desperate bid to get as far away as he can from the vanity.
"Th-th-the eyes! The r-red eyes! In the mirror, I saw something... made of smoke, but shaped l-like a man. But those eyes..." Shakily he gets to his feet, apologizing and thanking his concerned companions profusely, face red with embarrassment.
Gillain: Gillain swings her might spear and shatters the mirror. The mirror shatters into many pieces both small and large. The sound echos through the room as the rest of the party watches.
Gillain smashes the mirror... but then almost instantly falls to one knee, the sound ringing in her ears. She shakes her head and looks around the room, panicked. She looks at each of her companions in turn. "What was that?!..." she says in a quavering voice.... "Is everyone okay??...". She tries to stand but decides against it for now....
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dmitri stands protectively next to Bob as he rises from the ground. Dmitri looks about the room and attempts to listen for any signs that their commotion within the room has drawn any attention from elsewhere in the house.
Bob puts his arms protectively over his face as the glass shatters. "I'm... not entirely sure that was necessary, but I appreciate the effort!" He looks at Gillain with concern. "Ye alright, lass?"
“Tricks. Nothing more. Something is playing a game.” James keeps his light held high, and begins casting lights around the large room to keep the shadows at bay.
The light from James' spell seems to cast an eerie illumination to the room causing the shadows to dance back and forth. After a moment the party realizes all they are seeing are shadows and nothing more.
(allowing for other reactions then will move the game along. Please post if you want to do anything else in this room and where do you want to go next.)
Gillain: Gillain reaches out to the mirror covered door and opens it. Inside she finds a closet covered in dust. There are several empty hangers and small shelves. There is a folded piece of cloth on one of the shelves. This is all you find here.
Bob: Bob calms down after his experience. What does Bob do with what he has found?
Ermren: Using the spell detect magic and concentrating, Ermren seen a faint magical aura around the wand Bob found and the cloth Gillain has found.

Bonus action (polearm master attack): Attack: 20 Damage: Unable to parse dice roll.
@DM:
((OOC: rolled with advantage since the mirror can't move (can it?). If it's not advantage, just take the first roll))
Not sure why dice roller didn't roll damage on the 2nd strike... it should be: 4

Ermren reluctantly ends his assault on the door and turns to Bob, "What? What happened? Why are you on the floor?"
Bob lets his newfound riches spill through his fingers with a delighted chuckle, reveling in his good fortune and keen eye.

Tio stops clean after the screaming she will join the group, she keeps her eyes open looking for anything out of the ordinary.

”What happen? Are there enemies?”
Felix Windfall(Human-V Lv.7 Rogue) killed in ToA, Vallan Houndstrider (Halfling Ghostwise Lv.1 Fighter) in DiAErmren moves to try and pry the mirror off.

Bob puts his arms protectively over his face as the glass shatters. "I'm... not entirely sure that was necessary, but I appreciate the effort!" He looks at Gillain with concern. "Ye alright, lass?"
Ermren moces over to Gillain, “What happened? Did you see something too?” And then he’ll begin casting detect magic as a ritual.
Gillain turns towards Bob and Ermren, confusion and fear on her face.
”There was... I can’t... what was the?....” she shakes her head again, “I’m okay...”. She tries to stand again but still thinks better of it...
“I’m okay...”, she repeats, and eventually stands up, a little shakily. “I’m sorry, I just saw... and I struck out... I’m okay...”.

Gillain moves shakily to the foot of the bed and faces the little room with a door opposite. ((was that the one with the mirror door?)).
She looks at the door, (and into the mirror if there is one), then she reaches out and opens it and takes a look inside...
((sorry if we’ve done that, I was trying to check back to see if we’d checked everything here))

Did Ermren notice anything with detect magic?
Otherwise, good to go.

Gillain will pick up the cloth and shake it out and take a good look. Is it some kind of clothes?
