The charmed Golgari pokes his head back into the library with a look of disbelief on his face, then it was replaced by shock then anger. "Those were our scholars from our past, back when it meant something to be a Golgari! Now they dishonored them with this transformation into these beasts." He stands there, looking at the library and the dead demons, where the statues once stood is nothing to show they were even there.
"They're erasing us, not just leading us down this darker path, with promises of power and glory while erasing who we really were. They world will only remember us from the dark crusade, and not what we were before those bad decisions fated us to this."
"We won't let this happen," Khessa tries to reassure the Golgari, patting him on the shoulder. "We are all witnesses to your past now, and it will not be forgotten. And if you abandon the dark crusade the Nefarious Duo is trying to push you into, you will have not only a past, but a future as well! I'm sure you will understand this."
Having searched the room and exterminated the threats, the blonde arcane warrior begins to look around. Are there any exits that allow to continue the exploration?
It will take you about 10 minutes to search the room, in which you find the following items:
The 3 demon wrought swords the red demons were using; the 2 great swords the "Ataeshia" were using
Under a lot of dust, a suit of armor that is well preserved and shiny; A Tome of Understanding; A scroll of; on one of the shelves in a small wooden box, a pearl of power; and on another shelf under a lot of dust, a helmet. You sense these items stand out due to their preserved conditions, and a sense of magic around them.
Sparhawk looks over the five enemy swords, the three that the red demons were using, he looks at in disgust, "Demon forged, with their accursed power imbuing them" He inspects the other 2 swords and looks at them in amazement. "These are not demon wrought; they are old, ancient." Brother Maynard comes over as he has been cataloging what he has observed in his book. He also looks at the sword.
"This is from the great war, when weapons were created by the crusade and caste during the forging with power to make them stronger against the enemy. These two must be relics from that time, being used by these foul creatures."
Khessa is surprised by the number of magical items in the room—and even more surprised by the comments about the Greatswords. Could one of them be useful to her?
To determine what might be useful to someone, the blonde arcane warrior takes the time, along with Lord Akkron, to ritually cast Identify on each of the items whose function is not yet clear (namely, the two greatswords, the suit of armor, the scroll, and the helmet).
After casting your identification spell, you determine you have a Tome of Understanding; a scroll of titan summoning-colossus; a pearl of power; armor of invulnerability; and a helm of comprehend languages
Khessa is fascinated by the description of the Wave of Sorrow and even more by the powers that divination reveals to her.
The blonde arcane warrior balances the greatsword in her hand and, after practicing a few thrusts and slashes, comments: "It's probably the deadliest weapon I've ever wielded. I'll try to make good use of it."
The tall adventuress explains the powers of the other items to everyone and invites anyone interested to take what they need. "I don't think I'm interested in anything else, except a Wave of Sorrow." She places in her bag of holding the items nobody is interested in.
Clarac browses the books in the library while Khessa and Lord Akkron identify the swords and other items, after she first spends 10 minutes giving an inspiring speech. She begins with, "It is never too late to do what is right! The world will judge the Golgari for their current actions, but what they do next will be even more important."
She declines to take a sword, but she does comment on how remarkable the two non-demonic ones are.
OOC:
Clarac is using her inspiring leader feat to give each PC plus Sparhawk 26 temporary hit points
As tempting as 8d6 bonus damage is, the magic resistance aura of Clarac's holy avenger is too good to give up.
While those in need of some of the loot take what they need, Khessa looks at what options there are for further exploration - and if there is more than one, she asks the Golgari for advice on the path that should lead most directly to the confrontation with the Nefarious Duo.
The blonde arcane warrior meanwhile stores a new Haste in the faithful Alfred, to replace the one he used in the battle just concluded.

As for the great swords-the 3 demon wrought swords are known as the Wave of Sorrow, damage is 4d6+6 slashing, plus 4d6 acid damage.
The other two swords are known as Pale Flame swords, when not wielded by a demon, damage are 4d6+6 radiant, plus 4d6 flame.
