The heroes (Tiberius, Nirrana, Samirah, Tasnim, Sul abSil, Asbah, and Alexander) decide to search the caverns they're in. Asbah's marideen, Waaha, fetches her an invisibility which she places on Alexander, who then uses a dead fire beetle's body as a light source to scout. The young man finds the way out as well as several large caverns, one of which has a buzz in it like giant wasps. The heroes go to one cavern with three fire beetles, slay them, and spend the night.
In the middle of the night, Tasnim realizes that the wasp poison in Sul is killing him. No matter what she tries, however, he gets worse and soon he can no longer move and is fermenting in his own skin. When Niranna awakes, she gives the burly fighter a sip of anti-toxin and he's fine.
In the morning, the group heads out and searches the canyon for more clues to the sha'ira's whereabouts, convinced that the cave complex they were in was not the correct one. They walk all day and find nothing, other than the canyon is long and getting quite narrow. They spend the night without incident and decide to return to the cave in the morning. The group arrives very late in the day, with perhaps an hour of daylight left. They go to the caverns that Alexander had scouted out and quickly slay two giant wasps and recover a few interesting bits. Then, the group comes upon another copper statue that salutes and moves aside for Tiberius, revealing a slope to some lower caves. Exploring these tunnels, the group battles a giant spider the size of a pony as well as six skeletons before finally coming upon a mirror, THE MIRROR, amid a pile of treasure.
Tiberius, Sul, Asbah, and Niranna also catch sight of their reflections and find nothing odd that their reflections are in a room with a checkerboard floor rather than the cavern complex. Suddenly, they're all gone! Samirah grabs one of her mother's cloaks and wraps the mirror up. Now what? All the fighters and two of the mages are gone, leaving a hakima, a rawun, an under-age spell-caster, and a kahin...
