We fought a bunch of mimics disguised as plants and buildings.
Log
We had to hunt down some sort of mimic-snake-lady-person called Mimosa? I don't really know who or what she actually was, but finding her in the basement she had been locked in took a bit of work. Had to kick most of the trash that had been left behind before finding her. After some gentle persuasion, we had her tell us where her hideout was. It was in a garden here in town guarded by a gazebo. I never fought a gazebo before so we headed that direction.
We eventually arrived at the site in question and found a bunch of buildings that were sort of out of place. We fought the nearby windmills (which were giant mimics in disguise), some mimics disguised as plants (not a bad approximation, but easy enough to see through for any true dwarf), and the gazebo. The fight was a lot of fun. Carrion's definitely going to be super jealous when I tell him about it.
Once we killed the gazebo mimic, it melted away and we found a note with a riddle on it. It disappeared as soon as we answered it, sort of reminding me of something I once heard about a sphinx from one of Bronzecanopy's First Sickles. Something about the sphinx becoming more friendly to anyone who could answer her riddle. A new medusa arrives from burrowing underground and after a rather disappointing start (she didn't even want to fight or anything), she introduces herself as Irena Igneous. She agreed to go with us to meet with her sister after a bit of convincing from Taru. She doesn't really say much to Samara. Just something about cleaning up after Mimosa.
