"Thank you!" Harmony said back to Aisha with a smile, taking the wand and now hoped that she could cast spells with this that might actually be of help in combat. She would like to take the scrolls, see what they are and if she might be able to use them at all. "Alright. Let's go then!" Harmony said back, getting probably the same idea of where to go.
Returning through the music room and the macabre scene of the torture chamber, you emerge into the labyrinthine network of mining tunnels that separates the grisly scene from the ancient library. As before, wherever the tunnels led have long since been closed off by caved-in rubble fifty feet into the passages.
(Sorry for the late reply, been dealing with death certificates the last 2 weeks between work and everything else)
Aisha remembers the words of the letter. There is some sort of portal, somewhere in here in the tunnels - though whether it's done or not is the real question. The portal leading to some town, or shrine from what she could understand. If the tunnels themselves are buried, she doubted much that the portal would lie beyond it... and as such told the others The librrrary... rrememebr how I found passages by looking in the books elsewhere? There may be a hidden tunnel - which would nyot surrrprise me if this was made by dwarves.... - tear every book from it's shelf, to leave no doubt that you've checked. The book itself may be a lever. It may be hiding a button, or switch, or lever. But make these shelves bare.
A shame to treat such lost knowledge as such but.... if the world ends, it is lost forrrever anyway.
And with that, Aisha began tearing down books in the ancient library, in search of something leading to a hidden path.
Leaving the tunnels to return the library, removing books and tomes, Aisha discovers a number of spell scrolls that are unintelligible to her, but no hidden switches or levers present themselves.
OOC: "Forwards" from where you were coming from in the music room. I'll include an image here for some clarity (you can safely ignore any DM markings, those have all been discovered by the party already).
Garu is also unable to find anything within the library.
If you're referring to the 'T' within the library on the image I posted, that is the location of a trap (the door that caved in on Aisha the first time through).
OOC: Harmony also finds nothing of note among the books, and is also unable to read the spell scrolls.
The party continues moving back toward the first level of Ersetu, passing through the empty chamber and once again hearing the impossibly clear sounds of a tavern within. Those sounds cut off abruptly when you exit, turning through the short hallway and entering the dark and cold chamber that was the site of a furious battle against ghouls and mummies the day before. Past another hallway is the spiraling staircase that takes you back to the first floor into the storage room full of crates and barrels.
Across the T-shaped hall from that room is the 20-by-25-foot bath room, with a large pool of water in its center. Mist hangs in the air, faintly obscuring the racks that line the southern wall.
Garu reaches into her pack and grabs the extra short sword. She will swirl the water with the short sword and breathe deeply to ascertain if there is anything off about the water's texture or smell.

This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
The water seems perfectly normal to Garu, but as she swirls it about, three bottles float to the surface, seemingly appearing from nowhere at the bottom of the pool. The bottles contain liquids of varying colors, one red, one blue, and one white.
Accompanying them are a pair of spirits, twisting and disfigured visages of female elves. Their faces are wreathed in wild tangles of hair, and their bodies are clad in wispy rags that flutter and stream around them as they fly toward the party.
OOC: Added the unidentified wand to Harmony's inventory, and the gold and gemstones to Aisha's inventory.
Garu - the armor is a +1 suit of chain mail, but does not seem to contain any further magical properties.
Ready to advance once the next action is taken. If you wish to claim any other items, let me know.

Garu thinks out loud, "We never did check the bathroom out when we came in. Should we check that out?"

Harmony will try to help go through the books as well before hearing Aisha and Garu, nodding back. "Yeah, let's go." she would say back and nod.
