Beneath Dweomerheart (Surraruthru, Tryll, 87 days left)

[Iron Dragoon]

"Let's give this place a once over for hidden doors. Take books you find. If nothing turns up, we'll head back to the intersection."

Surraruthru heads to the nearest book and slips it into his haversack.

[Anastasia]

Make a Search check for that, then. Who all is taking the books?

[Yuthirin]

[Iron Dragoon]

Just everyone who comes across one.

The books are put away as you search. As you do, Calleigh grabs one and suddenly...

Will save.

[Yuthirin]

Will save! +2 if it's an Evil effect or was cast by an evil creature![blockquote]Rolled 1d20+26 : 3 + 26, total 29[/blockquote]

OW! This particular book burns. You reflexively drop it, coming away with a bit of discomfort and nothing more.

[Yuthirin]

"Burny book!" Calleigh shouts, pointing at the book flopped on the floor.

[Anastasia]

Canderella comes over and kneels by it, studying it. "Oh, it's cursed. You shook it off, but it looks like someone made the book too fiery. Amateur mistake. It's harmless as long as you don't touch it."

[Yuthirin]

"Ohhh, a curse! They must not want people looking in it! Maybe it's got secret stuff! Or pies! Or secret pies!" Calleigh wonders.

Meanwhile, Tryll takes a closer look at the book's magic.

[Anastasia]

It's a cursed book. Touch it and it burns you a bit. Hold it and it tries to burn you up. Read it and it tries to burn you up.

It's crude more than anything else.

[Iron Dragoon]

"Well, we can use cloth or some such to move it into one of the bags and deal with the curse back in Aurora."

[Yuthirin]

Calleigh scoops the book up with her bag instead of touching it.

[Anastasia]

Done. From there you search and find several hidden passages. On the left wall, behind a bookshelf, is a doorway leading deeper in.

Near the corner of the far wall and the left wall is another hidden doorway.

There's a hidden trap door in the floor, between two bookshelves in the middle.

There's another hidden door on the right side, blocked by a bookshelf.
