This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Ignatia eyes lit up when she saw the bookshelves and she shouldered her way over towards them, searching through them desperately for knowledge to add to her store.
You all scour the room, with some of you coming up empty while others do find some interesting things. Elysis, as you look through the desk, you find only a key in one of the drawers. Ignatia, as you dig through the bookshelves, on one you find an interesting book on Vampires, without reading it however, you are unsure what it might tell you, but a quick glance shows it might reveal some insight on just what Vampires are. With help from Janek, you also find, in the other bookshelf furthest away from the door you entered from, a secret switch, that when pulled, opens up a secret room behind the shelf. You do notice that after the secret door swings open, that it does slowly start to close on it's own.
From looking from the doorway, you see this secret room contains bookshelves packed with tomes. A heavy wooden chest with clawed iron feet stands against the far wall, its lid half-closed. Sticking out of the chest is a skeleton in leather armor. Clutched in the skeleton’s left hand is a letter.
Vorser stops looking at the books in front of him and moves towards the new found door. "I'll hold the door Janek, you make sure it's safe before Ignatia set's something off."
"Durant, what did you found on that painting...? Looking at this desk, I only found this key, but it seems, from the discussion on the other side, that the books might be quite interesting..."
"hmmm...Looks like a windmill. nothing that interesting. A key huh? and a door? maybe they go together. After you" he gestures for Elysis to head over to the secret room and he follows.

Janek steps into the room, moving first toward the chest. He stops and takes a moment to look over the chest and skeleton to see if he can tell what happened. ((Investigation: 6))
If it looks like he can grab it without causing anything to happen he will try to grab the letter.
The tomes you find describe a fiend-summoning ritual and the necromantic rituals of a cult called the Priests of Osybus.
Janek;
As you look over the chest and the skeleton, you can ascertain that the skeleton triggered whatever trap might have been in this chest. Three darts are stuck in the skeletons armor and ribcage. Clutched in the skeleton’s left hand is a letter bearing the seal of Strahd von Zarovich.
Ignatia beams from ear to ear and immediately sits on the ground to read both tomes in detail.....the first being very much her field of interest...the latter of academic...perhaps practical..interest.
She ignores the others investigation of the chest with her nose in the books.
The tomes show chants and drawings of summoning equipment and the like. ((Without devoting an hour to fully read from front to back, this will be all you ascertain for now.))

Ignatia will continue reading until physically prevented from doing so....
Janek will try to grab the letter and take a closer look at it. (There is a seal on it... is the letter still sealed closed then? Or just a symbol on it?)

Everyone;
You all scour the room, with some of you coming up empty while others do find some interesting things. Elysis, as you look through the desk, you find only a key in one of the drawers. Ignatia, as you dig through the bookshelves, on one you find an interesting book on Vampires, without reading it however, you are unsure what it might tell you, but a quick glance shows it might reveal some insight on just what Vampires are. With help from Janek, you also find, in the other bookshelf furthest away from the door you entered from, a secret switch, that when pulled, opens up a secret room behind the shelf. You do notice that after the secret door swings open, that it does slowly start to close on it's own.
I don't have a signature.
Ignatia immediately begins reading, waving her hand at the secret door for someone else to look at while she is busy.
She will place the book in her pack after flicking through and skimming.
Janek tries to grab the secret door so that it doesn't close. "Someone hold this so we don't get stuck?" He takes a look inside. ((Perception: 19))
((He will also look to see if there might be something he could use to hold it open. Maybe a book?))

Ignatia;
From quickly skimming the book, you get the following information about Vampires.

Janek;
From looking from the doorway, you see this secret room contains bookshelves packed with tomes. A heavy wooden chest with clawed iron feet stands against the far wall, its lid half-closed. Sticking out of the chest is a skeleton in leather armor. Clutched in the skeleton’s left hand is a letter.

Ignatia tucked the book away and looked over her shoulder at Janek, " Anything in there?"
Janek smiles as he looks over at Ignatia, "Books."

Ignatia immediatey enters the room and heads to the tomes.
( She does not check for traps...)
"Wait!" Janek calls out to Ignatia as he still holds onto the secret door. "You might note the poor fellow in the chest."

She shows Durant the key that she has found.
"hmmm...Looks like a windmill. nothing that interesting. A key huh? and a door? maybe they go together. After you" he gestures for Elysis to head over to the secret room and he follows.
Elysis starts walking toward the bookshelves, where she heard the others talking.
"Oh, you seem to have found something interesting... I found this key, might be useful for the chest..."
Janek steps into the room, moving first toward the chest. He stops and takes a moment to look over the chest and skeleton to see if he can tell what happened. ((Investigation: 6))
If it looks like he can grab it without causing anything to happen he will try to grab the letter.
