Despite the doors and shutters closing, the lights remain on as they are powered by electricity.

One of the servers (a gnome) flips his tray to use as a small shield and pulls a firearm out of a teapot.  The other server dives under the table.

When the Iottian contingent entered the room, there were five eerily identical human men and the Marshall.  As soon as the shutters and doors close the humans no longer appear eerily identical.  One is a female elf and one is a male dwarf.  The other three remain human males, although not identical.

Recap:

We all floated down to the mine on Owen's rock carpet.  On our way down, we spotted a giant bird and a twig man riding it.  Before we emptied a volley of shotgun rounds into it, the bird revealed himself to be Finn and his sidekick Bonsai.  Once we fully descended, we discovered a giant drill-like object with gravel combs for sifting Earth.  We found a maintenance hatch and discovered all the missing miners bound and gagged with the exception of three.  We rescued them and they told us the names of the three missing.  They gathered some of their personal belongings and a few trinkets from those who went missing.  We all made our way back to Gneon's hotel by dinner time.

Gneon met us all and spoke to each of the miners.  He fed us and allowed us all to clean up, then afterwards, Finn gathered the items from the missing miners and scryed them.  He found them bound, gagged, and unconscious in a dried up gulch outside the city limits.  Finn woke up Gneon's assistant and demanded he get Gneon.  He received a little push-back, so he went to the Sheriff's office and asked for assistance.  They told him the location was out of their jurisdiction.  In frustration, he went back to the hotel and harassed the assistant until he finally sent a messenger to get Gneon.

Gneon showed up armed to the teeth and then we all went to gather more helpers, realizing that we were clearly walking into a trap.  We picked up Marston and Artemus on the way.

Once there, we searched around and found the hostages.  Gneon and Owen floated up to 61 feet on the rock carpet and the rest of us gathered around the gulch.  Finn summoned some earth elementals, but they were quickly dismissed.  It wasn't long before we were assaulted by dozens of summoned creatures and hit with electricity.  Fortunately, there was a Circle of Protection from Evil cast as well as a Lesser Globe of Invulnerability.  We all hovered within the protective circles and retrieved the miners.  A couple minutes later, a shot rang out from the rock carpet and suddenly all the summoned creatures winked out.  Gneon and Owen came down off the rock and we all went to look at the newly deceased Horarian assassin with a gigantic hole in his chest.  With him out of the way, Gneon planted the assassin's staff under his body (the one he confiscated last session) and activated some sort of detonator.  We all hid in the gulch and waited for the inevitable posse of assassins to teleport in and finish us off.  Sure enough, they showed up and then they all died in a fiery explosion.  It was at that point that we all high-tailed it out of there and headed back to the hotel.     

Once we got back, Gneon explained how the Iottians tend to have contingency's set up for all instances; when their stuff is stolen, when they're knocked out, when they die, etc.  Marston left after that since all Gimhold citezens were now safe.  It wasn't long after that the Marshall of Iott and her entourage arrived, and they were ready to throw down.  They threatened us with magic and challenged Gneon's authority.

It was at this point that Gneon revealed he is a direct descendant of Highlander and proceeded to activate a magic suppression field while shutting off all the exits and windows to the building.  We're now in a Mexican standoff with the Marshall and her team of wizards.  Those of us with firearms have them trained on the wizards and the wizards are reeling from their newly revealed technological impotence.
