As the light spell goes off Vaden looks up. "Is magic working in here now?" He asks, attempting to cast Detect magic as a ritual.

"Well, those bottles are magical." Vaden says, nodding to the ones he detected. He moves to them and puts them into his bag of holding. "I'll see if we can get these identified when we get out of here." He explains to the others. Moving back to the desks he continues his search this time of the smaller one...
Investigation: 8

23 investigation for Evre

(Dice roller didn’t work)

Evre will Collect these two books into her pack, and share what she found with the others.  She will then help with searching the rest of the room, going next to the smaller desk.

12 investigation 

"Well a master and an apprentice." Vaden says nodding to the two desks. "Let's see if there are any hidden things..." He looks over the walls and floor, seeking for any hidden storage places or hidden doors.

Investigation: 26 (If I get another 8 I am going to scream!)

Well- let’s search this larger desk thoroughly..

"Well I think we have all we can get from this place." Vaden says with a grumpy sigh. "Let's see if we can get back up that slope and find a place to rest. I'll try to identify those potions so we can divie them up."

“Ok, Let’s climb back up the rope”. Evre starts heading back up the slope, using the rope to assist.

"Well I think we have all we can get from this place." Vaden says with a grumpy sigh. "Let's see if we can get back up that slope and find a place to rest. I'll try to identify those potions so we can divie them up."

 Joroden happily agrees and hastily makes his ascent back up.

Kralog follows Evre and Joroden back up.

Vaden joins the others. "So where do we move to find a safe place to rest?" Vaden asks. "As long as it is anywhere but in this magical dead-zone I am fine with whatever you pick."

”The entrance passageway seemed quiet enough… let’s head back there.” Evre says, as they reach the top of the slope. 

"Well, that's fun. Anyone else thinking about running?" Kralog draws his staff, preparing to fight.

"Wait, let's see if they are looking to stop us from leaving, or if they are going to attack us regardless." Vaden says, holding up a hand. "If they don't try to harm us, and just want us to stay inside, then I don't have an issue with that. We want to be in here anyway."

“Yes-  no sense fighting them if we don’t need to.” Evre says.  “Can we just close the door?  We have more to explore in here.” 

"They're definitely hostile, and we need a rest soon. I'd love to make a run for it, but I don't see a way out of this without fighting."

(Joroden will prepare to fight, but will gladly follow any escape plan if one is proposed instead. Initiative: 10)

Kralog's initiative: 15

Vaden initiative: is 10, rolled in game log.

"Ok, not going to be peaceful..." Vaden says as he prepares to fight.

Evre initiative 3 from game log.  “Uh oh..”

Joroden draws his handaxes, steps forward, and prepares for a tough fight.

"We are gravely outnumbered and exhausted. I'd rather not do this, but it can't be helped if we are to escape from this tomb."

Muttering a chant to a profane deity, his eyes to turn into pools of darkness and two skeletal, ghostly, flightless wings sprout from his back. The handaxes are engulfed in a similar ghastly mist, which soon spreads around him like an ominous shroud.

At the beginning of each of their turns for the next ten turns, all hostile creatures within 10 feet of Joroden that can see him must each succeed on a Charisma saving throw (DC 14) or become frightened of him until the end of their next turn.
