You walk into the library again, unsure of where the moans and screams are coming from. As you approach the wall that you thought was just another bookshelf and push hard. It moves one foot-just enough space for you to squeeze through. You turn the corner and see a table topped with alchemical equipment and arcane symbols. as you approach you see a mirror behind it. However when you look into it it isn't you that you see. Instead there is an old balding man wearing chains with a clear blueish tint to him. You feel drawn to the mirror and you touch it, curious what it will do. The ghostly man leaps out of it screaming his head off-literally While yelling "QUASIT IS HUNGRY!!". What do you do?
