Scry Guys
Dave FoO, if you look at your post, you'll see you saved it as a draft. You didn't officially 'publish' it, i.e., you hit the blue button not the orange button. For everyone else's sake, here's your post (marked in blue):
I have a few things to scry:'Valkyrie'.
I know, the valkyrie had a name, and my character knows it. Rob, if you want me to take five hours and search through all the back-blogs to find that valkyrie's name, I'll do it - or, you can fill in the blank that Dave has, but that Dave, Fist of Odin, does not.
I also want to scry 'Amouran', 'Crystal G', 'Crys-G', 'Zelba', 'Odin', 'Fist of Odin', 'Other Fist of Odin', and 'Fist of Odin -Dave'. I'll play around with characters until I find a 'not' operator.
And, what the hell. I scry 'Tim the Dust Devil' for Brogg, and 'Greetles', 'Leucrotta' and 'monkey mage'. I don't really know what a leucrotta is, but I heard the word somewhere and it sounds pretty cool. Leucrotta leucrotta leucrotta!
Then I scry 'Marivhon's embarassing secret'. Ha!
All right. I take the expensive coin, 'cuz what the hell, and the potion of pesticide and weed-killer. And, what the hell, I'll take al 4 potions of plant growth, to have 'em on a character sheet.That's it, I think.

The mirror is pretty smart, but you've successfully tested it and found its limits. Here's what you get.
The Valkyrie. Her name is Grunhilda or Brunhilda or something, of course. But the mirror finds her. Still doped up in Mysterious X's prison. Wow, she's been there for a while now... a few years of game time. How sad.
Amouran. Well, it's your armor, so you see you. Well done! The other PCs give you golf claps.
Crystal G. Well huh, look at that. He's in the Monks of Progress' recording studio. Those two monks who remastered the MoP chants are currently working on a hot new track with Crys Love. The G is in the sound booth dropping mad hits, or so you guess because there's no sound. The two producers listen, nodding their heads to a beat, then finish, smile, and give each other a high five. The G ain't happy though, so they've gotta do it again.
Zelba. Sorry, you can scry Abbey and your armor but you can't scry gods.
Same for Odin.
You manage to scry yourself again for Fist of Odin... none others come up, and there's not a NOT operator. This ain't Google Image search.
Tim the Dust Devil. Tim is hanging out in his apartment in the working-class rent controlled district of the Quasi-Elemental Plane of Dust. He's ignoring his nagging wife while just trying to watch the goddamn game, you know? Jesus Christ.
Greetles. Greetles has been suckered into going head-to-head with Gregolas on Halo, and losing. Whoops, looks like Greetles got turned around and grenaded himself. You see a copy of the Financial Times- being pink it's hard to miss- that Greetles keeps trying to read while levels load.
Leucrotta. While leucrottas are certainly dangerous mountain-dwelling foes that prey on lost travellers, you don't see one. Rather, you scry the Southern assassin Leucrotta, a half-orc badass for hire who rolls low on the chart, if you get my drift. He's currently in the middle of a high paying job, sneaking into one of the Desert King's pyramids to assassinate the Reptilian ambassador Slath-Gaspar. He silently, expertly dispatches two halberd wielding guards, jumps down a ventilation shaft, and creeps along a richly decorated hall, applying poison to his glowing black Rambo knife.
You look around this goddamn castle and feel a bit jealous.
Monkey mage.
Wow, this is almost more informative than those library archives. You get a nice picture of a monkey in a wizard's outfit.
Marivhon's secret. Nope, mirror doesn't understand. But you scry Marivhon just sitting there in the Tard Cart.
