Zan looking around the library after dressing, hearing the dusk elf through the door, say Rahadin, you're a dusk elf? Never heard of such. Are there any secret doors in here?
Somehow Rahadin's answer sounds like a 'yes' to Kessintra. Why not just deny it, after all? She will go to investigate the two doors next to the bookcase to see if they are locked (assuming these aren't the same one Rahadin went through).

One of the doors is the one Rahadin went through, the other leads to a bedroom. A large bed sits in the center of the room, its four corner posts supporting a black canopy trimmed with gold tassels. Several comfortable divans are placed about the room. There is a banded door on the opposite wall.

Nothing under the bed. Behind the door is a cramped closet. This small, wood-paneled room reeks of mildew and has a ten-foot-high ceiling. Iron hooks line the walls, and a dusty black cloak hangs from one hook in the center of the south wall.

Kessintra steps over to the bookcase and grabs the book on castle building, looking through it for sections on traps and secret doors. Perhaps it will offer some insight on this place.
Kessintra can't find anything useful. Garrick and Zan find a trapdoor on the ceiling of the closet. It's flush with the ceiling with no lock or handle. You have no clue how to open it.

Kessintra chuckles at Zan's blunt question.

You hear a cruel laugh, accompanied with screams. "Why would I tell you such a thing? It's as if you forget my allegiance."

Kess moves to check under the bed for a trapdoor or anything. If nothing is there she will try the banded door.

Nothing. It's just a pure black cloak.

Kess frowns in disappointment and turns back to the bedroom, moving to jump on the bed as a form of vengeance for wasting her time.

The bed creaks back in anger.

Kessintra does a few spiteful jumps before sighing and heading back to the others. "Nothing interesting."

Zan assumes the same by his response and noses around, perception roll 15.

Garrick will also specifically check the closet for any false panels or doors in the back, floor, and ceiling. (19 investigation)

Zan to Garrick, should we ask our new friend how to open it?
âNo, letâs experiment first.â
Does pushing on it or sliding it in any of the 4 lateral directions work?
It doesn't budge.

Zan helps Garrick, pushing, sliding, tapping...
