Jorin finds a few papers at the guard station, that stand out to him.
There’s a schedule on the captain’s desk. It indicates that all settlers and soldiers apart from the night watch are to report to the library at dusk.
There’s a report that Idwal Mordecai’s corpse was found outside the outpost, almost unrecognizable due to a brutal attack. The guards couldn’t locate Faelana Hallothel, who was supposed to be harvesting kryne by the lake.
There’s a letter written by Andras to the captain. He requests to return to duty, promising that his madness is subsiding.
Hildigrim is unable to find anything useful. But he has this nagging feeling that he has overlooked something. (Jorin and Hildigrim cannot do another check. But Hildi can Help one person to do a Perception check with advantage for the bookshelves.)

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Quillary has been standing in the middle of the library, eyes closed, just breathing. She opens them when Hildi speaks. "I will look. It would seem there was some violence done here, with these shelves turned over. Come help, show me where you have looked already."
Perception, with advantage from Hildi's help: 23

ey/em/eirs, or they/them works, too (just not he). Role-playing since that keep on those borderlands. Here's my D&D stuff. I love it so.
Quillary notices a bookcase against the southern wall of the bookshelves that is inset into the stonework in the SE corner. There are four notches on the center shelf, which appear to hold specific books. There is a small inscription in the wood of that shelf: The Path Before You. -AN

(Sure, but you’ll have to mention what you are inspecting. If you make a generic Perception or Investigation roll, nothing will be learned.)

Hildigrim looks around at the other book titles, authors and subjects.
(To Hildigrim's eyes, all of the books that should be here, are here. It is not like a series with some books missing. Someone inserted these 4 notches onto this shelf, in between the books that were already here.)

Do any of the notches look to be the right size for any of the books we've already seen since coming to town?
(Those books are all the same thickness, and could fit the notches.)

Are we thinking the books are are scattered around the town in building we haven't been in yet?
Seren: "We haven't checked the dock by the waters of Lac Dynnegall. We should do that before it gets dark within the next hour.
"Also, if we are going to be puzzling over these books tonight, we should set up some defenses around the library. Jorin lifted one of those full-length mirrors earlier. We could bring that and some of the half-length mirrors and place them around the library."

Jorin nods cheerfully at Seren, "Aye, that is a good idea. Let us check on the dock, and then Drusk can help me bringing many mirrors into library. We'll set of a wall of gleaming glass that those Skulks won't be able to sneak by!"
Hildigrim runs his fingers along the books in the case, then turns to give Seren a smirk. "That son of yours. I think he and I could have had some interesting conversations." His smirk then shrinks as his eyes soften. "I'm sorry, that was insensitive. His room was empty, so we might still find him." He looks away from the elf, not meeting anyone's eyes. Then, taking up his trusty mirror once again, he spins it in his hand. "To the docks, then?"

Hildigrim stands in the center of the room, hands on hips, scowling at the mess. "I know I'm missing something."
He will, indeed help anyone else who looks.

“Notches” meaning the books have been removed?

May I inspect that specific bookshelf?
