A few moments were wasted attempting to recall just how Laverius had ended up laying naked in a cave.  Naturally, not much occurred to him.  He had neither been particularly drunk nor adventurous.  He carefully stood up and began walking around, exploring the alcove he was in.<em>Impressive,</em>he thought.  He'd been a victim of illusory magic before, but this was quite thorough.  His peers had gone to significant trouble to pull this one off.  He began making a mental list of what they had accomplished.<br/><br/>- The girl he'd gone to bed with had left without waking him up.  Not particularly impressive by itself, as he had little enough interest in her once he was spent, but still something that could have gone wrong.  Also a tad annoying, as he'd planned on enjoying her again once he'd woken.<br/>- They'd drug him off the bed and onto the floor so he could wake up on a hard surface.  His bed must be somewhere in the alcove, made invisible by the spell.<br/>- The alcove appeared far too large to be his bedroom after all, where he had gone to sleep.  This would make finding the disguised furniture difficult.<br/><br/>At the third point, he knew what he must do.  If he could uncover proof of something in his room, then he could disbelieve the illusion and win.<strong>"Challenge accepted, but you fellows owe me another girl"</strong>he said, confident he was being listened in on.  He walked slowly, his tender, bare feet irritated by the hard, inconsistent ground.  Off to the left he saw an outcropping of rock not dissimilar to the shape of his dresser.  Smiling smugly, he walked over to it.<strong>"And here is my dresser,"</strong>he said, mainly to himself, impressed with his handling of this rather impressive prank.  He ran his hands over the front, looking for the handles so he could open a drawer, but was unable to do so as the various inconsistencies in texture got the best of him.<br/><br/>He sighed.  That had not been expected.<em>Very well then,</em>he though,<em>I shall have to play this little game of theirs for now.</em>Once again he surveyed his surroundings, this time his gaze falling upon the large rat scurrying around and then down through a hole in the ground.  That confused him.  He had an answer for the rat, namely that it was his own cat, ironically disguised.  The disappearing into the ground was more problematic.  He looked down at the ground and noticed some cracks in the ground, but couldn't remember if they had been initially there.  Was the illusion changing?  If so, the mage was still nearby.<br/><br/>Laverius realized that any clues would have be found outside his room, represented in the illusion by the alcove's exit.  Sighing irritably, he walked out of the alcove and toward whatever awaited him.
