The group decides to continue exploring down the stairs to the south of the cow room. down the stairs is a room, bypassing it for now Solenya moves forward finding that the hallways reconnected to the maze of locked doors. Coming back to the room we moved past the door has a RUNE carved into it denoting a fancy "R", the door is non magical. Solenya unsuccessfully tries to open the door and when he fails lets Ball have a go, and he succeeds. Opening the door we see what looks almost like a gym. Ball finds a expensive jeweled dagger. After thoroughly searching the room and not finding anything else we move on to another unexplored area.
We move north of the hidden room containing the animated Armor, Solenya moves forward to scout. The passage moves in a large arc positioning itself near where we determined the Barbarians are based. On a set of double doors Solenya detects a ward containing a flame spell. Using his abilities to disable the ward Solenya takes the time to pick the lock, the door opens and Solenya jumps inside.
After a few tense hours Solenya emerges from the doors to inform us that it's a library, and since none of us can read what good would it do us. As well as books this library contains 4 cages, all containing huge dead bugs. Hidden behind the tomes is a large book with a Zanthian Helm emblazed upon the cover.
