"To the Mirror if you please!" If nothing is there we can quickly make our way to the second floor.

"Lets take this right then." Alfie says pointing over Mikey's shoulder.

Everyone With a confirmation from Mikey as to where to go, you all take the right path towards the brightly lit corridor where candles float in shallow niches along the walls. After a few turns in the brightly lit corridor, you eventually come to a dead end where a mirror is mounted on the wall at the end. Worked into the top of mirrors stone frame is the graven image of a human wielding a wand.

Mikey moves closer to mirror, giving a thorough once over while wearing the bronze mask. "Wrong again," Mikey take a deep breath before suddenly pulling his shield arm back and punching the mirror. Mikey the takes of the brize mask replacing it with his magical helm. Please guide us to our next destination Alfie. Mikey does not activate the helm, he simply wears it to hide the embarassment clearly displayed on his face.

"Just, real quick..." Alfie opens the left side of his coat, revealing the some of the cartoon style patches on the inside. He reaches in and from a small pocket he pulls out a glass wand. "I wonder if this works here?"
Alfie taps the frame of the mirror and waits to see if anything happens.
If nothing does, Alfie looks to the group, "Its been a long time since I've cast with a wand. Bear with me." With a figure eight motion and then the flick of his wrist, Alfie boldly says "Spatium Manibus" and a spectral hand pours out of the wand. Everyone watches as the hand reaches out and touches the glass.

Everyone With Mikey punching a gauntleted hand into the mirror, you all expect a cracking to form, but the mirror shows no sign of damage. The moment that Alfie touches the wand to the mirror, nothing of note seems to happen. So Alfie takes a step back and attempts something else by casting a spell out of the wand. As the spectral hand passes over the mirrors surface, there is a slight ripple effect to the edge of the mirror but the effect quickly fades.

Aunna considers everything that has occurred. "Mikey... I don't think you have a bad idea. It's just... perhaps it's not the correct mask."
Walking up behind him, she gives him a comforting squeeze on his arm if he doesn't pull back. "Really. All of this is trial and error. There's so much down here that it's impossible to figure something out so quickly. What we need may not be available to us until we go much deeper into this dungeon."

"She's right. We know where it's at, we can always come back and try again if we think of something else." Alfie says, placing his wand back in the inside pocket of his coat.
He takes his staff back from the wall and retrieves his mapbook. "Lets backtrack a bit and when we reach those double doors, we'll go take a right." From there Alfie will continue to provide directions to the stairs leading down to level two of the dungeon.
Meanwhile, Reggie has been riding on Aunna's shoulder like a gargoyle on a cathedral. But he's not focused on the dungeon. Instead, he eyes have been glued to the imposing bipedal lion that has begin to travel with the party. He waits. Quietly reserving judgement until he sees more.

"I guess your being right for a second time will have to wait," he says to Mikey with a chuckle, "But your friends are right it's just trial and error, maybe next time."

Mikey can't help but smile at all the reassurance but quickly becomes straight faced once more. "Perhaps we will have luck with which we have already found."

Everyone Wth the ripple effect of the mirror being ignored for now, you all turn around and follow Alfie's directions through twisting corridors. It is not long before you all pass the 10-foot alcove where the shallow niche containing a bas-relief sculpture of a nude, heavy set man playing a hard sits. With Mikey remembering that this is the alcove that contains the inscription about gazing upon the man with bronzed visage, he quickly steps jnto the alcove woth his bronze mask on, but nothing seems to happen. Continuing on through the corridors, your journey towards the second level of Undermountain is a quiet and short one as no creatures assail your group as you pass through.
Leaving Level 1: Dungeon Level. Please continue to post in Level 2: Arcane Chambers.
