Twig shoves the skull towards Rad, grateful for someone to carry things and help with deciphering the symbols.
She puts the money pouch on the table carelessly, not too concerned about it or it’s contents. “Garth, here is a bag of gold coins if you’d like it “
Twig begins to examine the strange curved glass lens. She looks at her paw through the magnifying glass and is surprised and delighted with the effect. “It makes things appear large!” Twig begins examining everything in her immediate vicinity, enthralled. She examines the wood grain, the coiled dragons on the desk legs, the candelabra, and eventually, the cover of the leather book.
Having an idea, she opens the book and re-examines one of the pages.
Twig sees lots of things get bigger when she examines them through the lens. Looking at the book, she is able to tell that words and picture also get bigger when viewed through the lens. She is not able to understand anything else, unfortunately.

Not paying any attention to Twig, Garth begins disassembling the armor. "If I was going to hide something, inside a suit of armor would definitely be high on the list." He said aloud as he worked.
"Alright, well unless you want to take a book with us I think we should head to the next room." Garth said with a disappointed expression. "Maybe we can come back up here when we are getting ready to leave, I'm sure the armor will get us some decent coin."
Twig nods, reluctantly putting away the magnifying glass in a pocket for safekeeping, while continuing to think about it. She hands Garth the bag of coins, and picks up the silver knife, storing it with her other daggers, and packs the large leather book in her pack. She grabs several random books off of the shelf and flips through the pages briefly, looking for whichever looks most interesting and packing that one into her pack as well. Just before leaving she leans forward an examines the hydra candelabra. She picks it up and turns it in her hands, rotating it to see all sides and heads. She lights the candles on it, as well, sure to blow them out before leaving.
Twig exits the room, going with Garth to the door across the hall.
The candles on the candelabra light as candles often do and blow out just as easily. The books barely fit into her pack, but she is able to fit them in there. Rad mechanically follows after Garth and Twig.
Twig opens the door across the hallway from the library and sees a standard bedroom around fifteen by twenty feet in size. It has a bed, a dresser, and a chair. The item of furniture that captures your attention, however, is the ornate chest resting in the Southwest corner. It appears to be made of wood of a reddish hue and is bound in copper. The motif of a horse is carved into the lid.

As Twig reaches the far side of the room in front of the chest, she feels momentarily dizzy and then her vision blurs. As the dizziness passes, you look in amazement at your surroundings. The chest, which was two feet in height, now stands at over twenty feet tall. In fact, the entire room has grown. The twenty feet from one wall to the other now spans over two hundred.
Those who hung back see Twig and everything she carries shrink to about six inches tall.
Rad grunts in response.

"Oh geez, this wizard needs a punch to the face. Stay where you are Twig, I'll come get you."
Garth walked to the bed and yanked the sheets off. Taking the top sheet he walked towards Twig. After arriving a few feet away from where Twig shrunk, he tossed a balled up end of a blanket to the ground, careful to aim away from Twig. He also let go of his end of the blanket in case the blanket shrunk too.
(Assuming the blanket doesn't shrink)
"Climb on top of the blanket and I'll pull you out," Garth instructed Twig.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Rad followed Garth into the room and, after a few seconds, both he and Garth feel momentarily dizzy and then their vision blurs. As the dizziness passes, they look in amazement at their surroundings. The chest, which was two feet in height, now stands at over twenty feet tall. In fact, the entire room has grown. The twenty feet from one wall to the other now spans over two hundred.
Garth and Rad see Twig about 60 feet (according to their own size) from their position from them, closer to the chest.
Movement and a sharp clicking noise beneath the bed catches all of your attention as what appears to be a giant centipede skitters into view. It stares at you through stygian eyes as its antennae twitch in excitement at the prospect of an easy meal. (The centipede is about half again as long as you are tall)
(The centipede is under the bed about 40 feet east of Garth and Rad. Twig is 60 feet Northwest of Garth and Rad. The door you came in is 120 feet from Garth and Rad.)

Twig stands up, pockets her new magnifying glass, and goes to the books lining the walls. She searches for a book in a language she doesn’t know.
if she finds one, she brings the book to the desk, opens it, and examines the words with her magnifying glass.
Twig sees an enlarged version of a language she doesn't know.

“Darn!” Twig says. She holds the magnifying glass in front of her face, and turns in a slow circle, seeing what might be made visible in the room.
Twig begins to get a headache after looking through the magnifying glass too long, but doesn't see anything that was previously invisible.

Not paying any attention to Twig, Garth begins disassembling the armor. "If I was going to hide something, inside a suit of armor would definitely be high on the list." He said aloud as he worked.
Garth is able to disassemble the armor after a few minutes, but finds nothing but some supports on the inside.

Twig goes to the chest and admires it. “What beautiful inlay”.
She opens the chest.

Twig pulls out her crossbow and immediately looses a bolt at the beast.
Attack: 23 Damage: 5
Twig's arrow lodges into the insect's side, eliciting a high pitched screeching sound from the centipede.
Rad moves forward slowly, slamming his hammer on his shield to cast Toll of the Dead. Damage: 3
The centipede squirms in pain and then lashes out at Garth, but the fighter's defensive posture allowed him to get out of the way of the bite.
