Well, guys? AG/Idiada Jodes (if that's the name we went with) clearly needs his whip.

[Retro]

Investigate. And retrieve whip, if possible.

You head back to the light room. No sign of the creature nor your whip. The mirror is completely smashed, though you still remember what it said, and the vault thing on the floor remains as perplexing as ever. The string is still inexplicably tied to the ladder.

"AG/Idiada Jodes (if that's the name we went with)" <-- retcon'd out Idiada, he doesn't really need a name. AG works fine I guess.

Become intrigued by the smashed mirror, peer inside.



also I'm curious as to what is in the can... maybe whatever is in the can is explosive and could be used to make a Molotov to bring fiery justice to that eyeball in a hole!  "smell can to determine contents" seems like a bit of a lame suggestion though.

[Josephus]

Man, I dunno. It might just be an animal, lashing out at the closest source of danger, i.e. AG.

[Retro]

Become intrigued by the smashed mirror, peer inside.

You look inside the mirror, though you can't fit in. There is a vast expanse of darkness - what you can see appears to be... organic.

also I'm curious as to what is in the can

You shake the can. There is something loose inside, but no tab or anything to open it with.

[namad]

does anything inside the can slosh like a liquid? (I am assuming not).  If not then smash the can open (lay the can longways on the anvil) with the hammer on the anvil to retrieve the prize!  Make sure to attempt to strike the hammer at a 90degree angle to the can and also aiming at the TOP (or bottom) or the can....  you do not want to smash the middle of the can and risk damaging what is inside you want to try to just break the top or bottom to get it out!

Turn the handles on the sink in the order that was on the mirror. One rotation hot, two cold, one hot, one cold, one hot.

[namad]

better yet let the very edge of the can hang off the edge of the anvil... this should assure that the can is opened without destroying the item inside...

[Retro]

smash the can open with the hammer on the anvil to retrieve the prize!

WONK! You clumsily bash the can open with the hammer, not really worried about a smooth hit. A key pops out; you take it.

Turn the handles on the sink in the order that was on the mirror. One rotation hot, two cold, one hot, one cold, one hot.

The handles don't rotate more than 90 degrees, but you try turning them inwards on and off to signify one entry in the string. Nothing happens. Perhaps the letters corresponded to something else?

use key on vending machine, obtain vast riches in spare change!

>Rotate vault handle, tie string to vault handle.

[dragnar]

hmm... maybe the vault handle? Say h is counterclockwise and c is clockwise.

[Retro]

use key on vending machine

The key fits perfectly.



There is a button. You press it without any prompting.



FOOM! The lights finally go up, centered on the vault.

hmm... maybe the vault handle? Say h is counterclockwise and c is clockwise.

You twist the wheel in full rotations back and forth, equating the hot-cold code with CCW and CW, as the same directions the corresponding sink handles turned. There are a few clicks, and the vault slowly moves.



There is a hole in the floor! Light now shines down into the dark room below.

[namad]

Peer into the vault, if you cannot see the bottom then drop the can and listen for depth.

[dragnar]

Go downstairs into the dark room we were in before.
