Ocular October 9, Part 2: Rooms in the Palace of Reflection

Part two! In this chapter, we explore many of the unusual rooms in the Palace of Reflection, their various dangers and rewards, and how they might fit into the overall plot involving the Lady of Mirrors and her adventurer “guests”. It also contains some suggestions on how to add more rooms, how to hide her “True Face” in some of them, and which might make for fun setpiece combat encounters. The rooms provided are numbered 1 through 12 for ease of use with the Lady’s Mirror Maze ability (roll a d12 to find out where you end up!) To be clear, in my home game I made 20 rooms for a d20, but a) some of them were stolen from other DM’s great work so I can’t include them here, and b) not all of them were as creative or interesting to the narrative as these 12. Gotta put a bathroom somewhere and all that! And the rooms for Lord Mirror and the Lady herself (her throne room) are being saved for later parts of this one month megapost. So enjoy this one for now, and stat tuned!

EDIT: And of course right after I upload, I notice I skipped #10. For the record, that was indeed the Mirror of Life Trapping I mention at the end. Apologies for the mess, this one was a doozie to put together!
