Alanis heads in, looking around for any books or items of interest, perhaps journals or other items that may have been left behind. he also searches the walls and floors for secret doors.

Secret Door: [1d6] = 5

Eirik the Just:

The paladin would help Alanis in this task.

[1d6] = 6

Theodore Mumfordian (Half Sylvanian Wood-Elf) Ranger lvl:5 HP 19 / 21 AC 5):

Is the floor dusty enough for Theodore to see tracks?

Dungeon Master:

Fine with me Inferno though let us examine the Study first i guess, if there are old books, look through them, look behind book cases, desk, under tables etc....

Sorry. My mistake.

Gandrel helps searching the study - if there's a desk he'll check any drawers or doors for traps. If not he'll look at the book cases.

There is a table dusty and quite possibly not used in ages. There is a desk with a dusty half melted candle atop it and a human skull next to the candle. The desk appears to be locked. In the bookcases are many old books. Here are all the books found in the bookshelf:

Alanis attempts to open the locked desk, pulling at it before cursing. He stands up to his full height and points his finger at the desk drawer, "I said open!" a flare of magic later and the lock clicks. Alanis gives it a happy smile and goes to open it again.

Casting Knock

Dune examines the books, looking for something that might improve his spellcasting.

I wish I had a bag of holding to carry all of these...he muses.

Incidentally anyone that was in War is Hell might recognize the book titles. I added a few titles of my own
Alanis knock spell works the desk clicks open. The desk looks like this once you open the large master "door". This is about as close to what the desk looks like minus the large draws under the master door.

Neev will keep watch on the room from which we recently exited.

Inside the desk are a dried up ink well and a few quills. cobwebs, dust and some really old spell ingredients as well as what looks to be a personal spell travel size spellbook or perhaps a personal journal of sorts.

Eirik the Just:
Love the book titles!

The innocent young paladin was rendered speechless by the library of evil forbidden knowledge. He examined the shelves closely.

Are there gaps on the bookshelf, or is the shelf packed tight? Just wondering if the wizard that owned this office abandoned it in a hurry, or had time to pack up his favorite books.
Are any of the tomes less dusty than the others?
Detect for the classic secret door in the book shelf? Secret door: [1d6] = 2
Thanks.

Gandrel gently tries to stop Alanis harming himself on potential traps on the desk.
"Wait my friend, let me se if our enemies have left any cunning traps for us - you don't want to be poisoned or anything do you?"
He then searches all over the desk and drawer for traps.

Try as he might Eirik does not locate a secret door on the bookshelf the shelf is packed fairly tight with the books but they are all equally dusty and cobwebbed.

Gandrel searches for traps he is unsure about the smaller drawers to the left and removes a poison dart trap from the larger middle drawers and finds none on the smaller draws to the right on the inside of the desk. I rolled 2 checks for you.
