The party searched the room for anything valuable or
possibly related to the records they were tasked with finding.
Barnacleez cast Detect Magic and soon discovered eight faint
auras of magic. Ro-Mahn check the area for traps but found none. Given the all
clear, the gnome investigated further. The magical auras turned out to be eight
scrolls contained within a box made of hollowed out books. The scrolls were: alarm, charm animal, comprehend languages,
disguise self, jump, mount, obscuring mist, and shield of faith. The caster
level of each scroll is 1st.
After 40 minutes of searching, the party found no signs of
the records but discovered three texts that were in reasonable shape and likely
held value. Each book is worth 50 GP and contains information potentially
useful to the reader. Using any of the books to gain a bonus on a check takes 10
minutes of studying, and the bonus lasts for 1 hour. The user can attempt any
of the listed checks untrained.
Stabem found a book titled From Rivers to Mountains. This
old collection of maps and travel literature grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Knowledge
(geography) checks pertaining to Isger and Survival checks to avoid getting
lost or survive in the wilderness while in Isger.
Barnacleez found a tome titled History of Isger. Though
outdated, this tome grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (history or
nobility) checks pertaining to Isger.
Wahesh found a volume titled The Nine Secrets. Luckily before
the fighter opened it, Ro-Mahn warned him of the trap. The ranger/rogue worked
to disable the poison needle before the book was examined. At first glance, the
book appeared to be a collection of weird poetry to Ro-Mahn and Wahesh. Once
examined by other party members, Stabem noticed secret messages hidden on its
pages. Once deciphered, the book grants a +2 circumstance bonus on Knowledge (planes
or religion) checks related to devils, diabolism, Hell, or Asmodeus.
(Scolls and Books have been added to the treasure list. Please advise who is carrying them.)
With the investigation completed, the party exited the room
through the door to the south.
