For your entertainment and use at the table:
Agrione the Spirit of the Magic Mirror
This large oval mirror
(1.5’ x 3’) is well-polished. When gazing into the mirror, the face of an
androgenous elven noble of exceptional beauty can be seen beside the onlooker
as if they were standing right next to them. Anyone looking into the mirror
will hear the voice of Agrione, a mirror spirit, in their ear. Agrione is desperate for
someone to talk to, as they’ve been alone for over a century-- ever since the
fortress was abandoned. Agrione desires to be freed of the mirror and returned
to the formless nothingness of nonexistence, and will agree to aid players for a time in
exchange for being dispelled. Agrione is knowledgeable in matters of elven
music and history. As well, they have limited oracular powers and can answer
one yes or no question a day. Agrione can get bored being stowed away for long periods. Roll on the table below to see what the enchanted mirror spirit says to punctuate their boredom. If the players insist on using Agrione for their
own ends instead of destroying the mirror as planned, or delay too long,
Agrione will become bitter and sarcastic towards the party, complaining loudly
at every opportunity.

Agrione says: |
1. |
Is that really what
adventurers are wearing nowadays? How very droll. |
2. |
Could you just scratch
my nose for me please? Yes, right there... ahh, much better… You idiot, I’m a
spirt inhabiting a mirror, I can’t feel that! |
3. |
What do you want, you
sad, sad mortal? You should have made better life choices. Don’t look to me
to solve all your problems! |
4. |
Have you figured out a
way to get me drunk yet? |
5. |
How about you climb in
here and see how you like being stuck in the background for 700 years?! |
6. |
If you promise to leave
me alone for a few days, I’ll sing something for you. |
7. |
Do you think there’s any
chance for a disembodied spirit trapped in a mirror and a disembodied shadow
trapped between life and death to make it in the mixed-up, topsy-turvy world
of ours? |
8. |
If I had a gold coin for
every idiotic question I’ve been asked over the centuries, I’d be rich by
now! |
9. |
No, please. Keep telling
me about how wonderful your gods are so that if I ever meet them, I can be
sure to point out who to curse. |
10. |
You, you, you! What
about me? What about my needs? I haven’t been properly polished in over a
century! |
11. |
Is there some way that you
could just hold me up as you travel? Looking at the inside of a sack all day
isn’t very stimulating! |
12. |
Fine, I’ll answer a
question, but you need to wash your hands the next time you touch me. Who
knows where those have been? |
