Silverlight Labs

A hidden laboratory somewhere in the Mirror Sea region where Verity spent most of her time when she wasn’t in the field. The lab is furnished with a cloning chamber, the Phylactery tomb, Amber Vault, a large amount of priceless equipment and components, and a stash of the most interesting items found by Arkhana on expeditions that she does not want to share with the RCHP. It also has a cozy 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom halfling home on the surface level, complete with a small mixed bath, vegetable garden, and conservatory.

Verity currently spends a good deal of time it the Silverlight Labs in stasis until she is needed to handle Arkhana’s affairs while she re-forms from the Phylactery. The lab is patrolled by Manifesting Mana Constructs (which appear to be ghosts or spirits that haunt the abandoned house). These almost always scare away passers by, and capture and contain the nosiest ones in the Amber Vault below for Arkhana’s judgement.

Features

  • House
    • A common hobbit-hole style house. It’s semispherical in shape and has a round door and windows. Very cottage-core styled. It has a basement cellar where food and standard supplies are stored, and a hidden hatch to the labs below.
  • Vegetable garden
    • A small garden with a variety of healthy veggies. Perhaps not enough to totally offset having to buy groceries… unless a little growth magic is used!
  • Seeder Conservatory
    • A conservatory in a glass dome overgrown on the outside with dense vines. Under closer inspection, one can see that it is populated by the strange plants and animals created by the excised core of a mad seeder. Some of the fauna and flora are carnivorous, vicious, or just poisonous.
  • Mana Lab
  • Transmutational Lab
  • Mana Observatory
  • Atmospheric Harvester
    • An array of 10m tall copper and glass antennae arranged in a specific pattern. Mana is harvested from the air through a “mana siphon” here and used to power the constructs and mechanisms in the labs
  • Amber Vault
    • A vault that contains items stashed for later research, usage, or disposal. The vault is a 5x5 hollow lead cube with a heavy lead lined cold steel door. Rows upon rows of lead shelves are meticulously labelled and stocked with fist sized amber vaults (modified Widowghasts Vault of Amber, allowing storage of living things).
    • Some artifacts found during RCHP expeditions, some found on Arkhana/Verity’s own time, and some bought from grey-black markets.
    • A separate section of the vault contains intruders to the lab, troublesome students/colleagues/employees of the RCHP/TTMR academy, or others.
  • Cloning Chamber
    • The chamber where clones of Verity were created. There are 3 glass pods filled with brackish liquid. One currently contains a fully formed clone. The other two contain only severed heads. Surgery tools hang on a wall near the door.
  • Phylactery Tomb
    • The entrance to the tomb is secured with a heavy uranium door which gives a nauseating sensation when approached. There is no handle on the outside, and no apparent way to get in - but massive radial hinges are visible around the irising door. A tiny peephole is set in the wall opposite the door. Looking into it affords a pitch black view of the other side of the door and a level to open it (only be opened with mage hand or by teleporting into the room with line of sight through the hole).
    • The tomb is a maze with horizontal and vertical components, lined with traps. The cramped walls of the completely dark maze are lined with lead and a thin layer of uranium (dealing 1d6 necrotic damage each hour THAT CANNOT BE RECOVERED UNTIL THE TOMB IS LEFT).
    • At the end of the maze is another similar door, but this one swings open rather than irising. The Phylactery Chamber door can be seen through a peephole on the opposite wall, and unlocked with a combination lock.
