 "Let me just pop in my magical key and..."

"Entrez-vous."

Everyone steps through the door, and enters the foyer of the massive mansion inside "Uh..." Vax starts as he looks around the spacious room.

"What the in the Hells?" Vex questions, finding such a thing impossible. The others were in shock as the room before them as music was playing.

"How did you..." Vax questions looking at the bard, "How are we..." Percy question. "When did you acquire all this?" Jason questions, his wings fade into his back.

"How did you acquire all this?" Kyria questions as hers fold at her back, seeing the statues were all of him.

"Now, I know what you're thinking. The place is a little small, but I'm a big believer in humble beginning." Scanlan assures as they stood before the grand stairwell. "Humble?" Vex questions as she shares a look with Kyria.

"Whoa." Keyleth said in awe

"My word, indeed." Percy said as he was impressed.

"Um, this is amazing." Pike spoke as she like what she was seeing.

"Uh, you're a wizard, Scanlan." Grog spoke as he was in awe, Scanlan just smiles back at them.

"Now, just stand there, fam. Welcome to my getaway from the everyday."

He said in awe as everything was look around them, "What is this place?" Percy questions. "And where the fuck is that music coming from?" Vax questions, looking around the room as Scan-ghosts flew past them.

Offering a lute and placing on the shades, "All your questions shall be answered. In song!" he sang, stringing his lute as the sung begun.

Percy gets a workshop to make gadgets and gizmos

Grog, here your fighting pit

"Nice, nice, nice, nice, Nice!"

And Keyleth gets a greenhouse to tend to her veggies

And grow me some spice.

Kyria stares at the key and tabs at Vex's shoulder with wide eyes. "Is that...?" she asks.

Vex blinks in anger and points at the key as she glares at Scanlan that was bogging. "Uh, this is the key I found you sticky finger hoarder!"she snaps at him.

The scan ghost carried him off "We can argue about who found what or we can celebrate killing our third dragon!" he declares with the flair of a dragon appearing behind him.

Scanlan kneels in the room before a painting of him and Kaylie with smiles on their faces.

But will there a be a chance

To enjoy it with her?

Pike peeks into the room, "Hey, weenie." she calls out, he looks back and sees both her and Jason leaning in over her. "You coming?" she asks both had smiles on their faces.
