"Uh... What in the hells?" Vex stepped inside what appeared to be a full-ass mansion out of nowhere.

"How did you...? How are we...?" Vax echoed his sister's disbelief as he entered beside her with the rest of them. Athena's eyes were immediately met with a large marble fountain resembling Scanlan with water spouting out in different directions. Past the fountain was a grand golden staircase surrounded by marbled purple pillars. A glowing dice serving as a chandelier rotated in the air above the stairs. 

"Now, I know what you're thinking. The place is a little small, but I'm a big believer in humble beginnings."

"Humble?" Vex raised her eyebrow.

"Whoa," Keyleth gasped.

"My word, indeed," Percy agreed.

"Um, this is amazing," Pike stated.

"Uh, you're a wizard, Scanlan," Grog gushed in awe as his hands flew to his face, covering his cheeks. His eyes widened as he looked around in astonishment.

"Now, don't just stand there, fam. Welcome to my getaway from the everyday." Scanlan spun gesturing around the whole place. The sounds of drums began ringing a tune to their ears.

"What is this place?" Percy asked. 

"And where the fuck is that music coming from?" Vax questioned. Little spirits wearing sunglasses zoomed past their heads handing Scanlan a matching pair and his lute.

"All your questions shall be answered. In song!" 

The spirits took Percy, Grog, and Keyleth away pushing them into various rooms of the château.

Percy gets a workshop to make gadgets and gizmos. Grog, here's your fighting pit

The sports rushed in handing Grog handing him an array of weapons. 

"Nice, nice, nice, nice!" Grog exclaimed with a bright smile. 

And Keyleth gets a greenhouse to tend to her veggies. And maybe grow me some spice.

The spirits returned the three of them back to the entrance, Percy decked out in his gear, Grog still holding onto the various weapons, and Keyleth holding an array of fruits. 

"Uh, this is the key I found, you sticky-fingered hoarder." Vex pointed to the key in the entrance door, her facial expression radiating anger. However, Scanlan was happily dancing to the song.

"We could argue about who found what. Or we could celebrate killing our third dragon!" Scanlan rose in the air with the help of the spirits as as magical representation of Vorugal was destroyed behind him.

The spirits were all playing various instruments around them as they were transported to a dancefloor with colorful lights reflecting the mirrored roof and floor. Mugs of ale were placed in their hands by the spirits.
