Golver drops the bundle and is over taken by hold person!
"More of you?!" The dark elven woman explains as the animated suits make a protective like barrier between the fireplace and the room with the elven woman just inside the semi-circle! "How...how did you find yourselves so far off the path then," the elven woman demands.
She's dressed in purple and silver trimmed robes.

Necey hears the faint muffle of raised voices on the other side of the fireplace. Does she proceed with Caerlan behind?
"Yes," Kat says, sounding mildly annoyed. "There are four of us, and if you didn't want us going this way, you shouldn't have put a secret passage in the testing rooms! I mean seriously, the whole point was for us to complete tests of an unspecified nature, what did you think would happen if you added secret passages? So if maybe you could drop the spell on the big guy, and not flip out when the other two come through, that would be great."
"Wellll... I'm not so sure. I don't hear any spells being fired, so I suppose it's safe enough. Shall we..?" Neecey puts her hand to the button which Golver found and waits for Caerlan to indicate he is ready.
"These passages aren't on any paths from the testing rooms! If you've stumbled onto one it was better you inform your instructors than wander down them," the elven woman replies to Kat continuing to hold Golver as the fireplace whirls around again revealing Caerlan and Necey! "Unless you've managed to KILL your instructor," she then adds her eyes firey as the suits step closer all drawing weapons. "Who are you," the woman demands of the party.
Once they're in the room they see Golver stiff as a board and Kat looking disgruntled at an elven woman while the fireplace is surrounded by five suits of animated armor!

"We did not. Kill. The instructor," Kat snaps. "There was no way to know what was on your paths, we saw a passage and assumed it was part of the test. We're potential students for the Institute, you could stop flipping out, it's not exactly like we barged in here firing spells. So maybe you could start by taking the spell off the big guy? Oh, hey guys," she adds as Caerlan and Necey come in.
Necey is taken aback as she comes into the room and finds that they are apparently being accused of killing the instructor. "Wha-?! Us?! Of course we didn't kill this poor guy! He's been dead for quite some time... Just give him a smell!"
At Katerina's comment, she finally notices Golver stiff as a statue. She walks over to the dragonborn and pokes him a few times. "If she let's you go, do you promise not to breathe flames on her..? I take your silence as a 'yes'."
"Well, you've accessed a part of the castle NO one uses anymore and brought alone a dead body to boot," the dark elven woman exclaims releasing Golver! "How am I supposed to react young lady," the dark elven woman waves a hand next at the animated armor which take a step back! "This task of yours what were your challenges beyond the trees of choice," she asks curiously.
"Well evidently you use it," Kat grumbles. "And I bet nobody started throwing spells or setting magic armor at you when you showed up. And our task was getting across some acid. And then spiders. Lots of spiders."
As Golver is released, he would quickly pick up his cloak with the corpse secured inside before locking eyes with the elf. Rage would spread across his face as he begins yelling "What in the hell was that! You send us into a fake forest with no direction on what to do... and when we find a way out you freeze us and threaten us with your guards! Do you know who I am!?You must not know who I am... My name is Golver ******* Shimmerclaw and instead of threatening me you should be THANKING me for recovering this body so that it can be properly taken care of!" As Golver finishes his rant the dragonborn would hoist the sack up high in the face of the elf and shake it. "We escaped your illusion forest, found your secret fireplaces, Flew across a lake of ACID, killed a handful of giant poisonous spiders, Recovered the corpse of one of the masters, AND found some weird necromancer study before escaping into this room" Golver would shout before taking a moment to catch his breath. "So if this wasn't all part of our test... then how about you go get someone in charge and quit wasting our time.." The dragonborn would mutter with a hard stare as his back heaves up and down with each deep breath.
"Easy there big guy, I think you made your point. Actually I think you've made it very well, what in the hells is going on? Clearly this isn't what we were expected to do but how is it that we could get into this type of situation? Seems a bit careless on your part if I'm honest..." Caerlan gives a hard stare to the elven wizard.

"I'm not a test coordinator but I'm a founding member of the school! I care for the books, scrolls, and magic artefacts! But the things you've described are NO test I've ever heard of! You've wandered off the path and you've paid a high price for it! As for the secret passage crack dearie," she then glares at Kat. "I've never used them in my 220 years here! They are for servants and skullduggery! I've wanted them sealed for centuries," she retorts. Then narrowing her eyes on Golver she grips lifts a wand she's held at her side to eye level. "You've had a taste of superior magic. Care for another? I might be a simple librarian sir but at least I knowing my elders and betters! THAT'S a task you'll learn or die as a result of the lack of it! Mark my words," she adds with an icy tone. "As for the rest of you," she begins again looking the party over, "it's a small wonder you survived," she exclaims next! "Put the body down and I will see to him," she then says. "The best thing now is you four will return to your rooms," she adds clicking her fingers as a gray dwarf rambles over as if awaiting her summons. "They are to be confined to thier room until we sort this whole business out," she adds curtly as the dwarf looks to the party stone faced as the suits of armor open slightly making a path. The elven woman takes the bundle. "You've obviously stumbled upon someone's new test. Thw tree of choice is fickle and if someone...." she looks in the bundle now, "if Hamlin was the professor who was working it, the tree could have been accidentally added it. The gnome was always one for tricks!" The elven women then looks to Caelarn. "A failure of a test doesn't mean you're disqualified from entrance into the school but THIS....this has to be brought to my sister's attention at once," she adds with a scowl. "I'll take care of that," she says next making a gesture with her wand over herself and the bundle before a flash of light fills the room as the elven woman and bundle disappear in a flash of light and lingering smoke!
Standing now in a semi circle of animated armor and a begrudgingly subservient duergar as your guide do you leave willingly or shenanigans?
"That librarian stole my cloak!" Golver would shout looking to the duergar as he points to where the elf had been standing a moment ago before grumbling under his breath and folding his arms. "Not sure how we can fail a test when we weren't told how to pass the test... stuipid place..." He would mutter aloud as he prepares to follow their guide.
"You reckon? Golver's probably caused all sorts of trouble already..." Caerlan whispers as he leans in ready to move through with Neecy.

Insight on librarian about statement on using secret passages: 19
OOC: So didn't one of us see a woman go through that secret panel like... a minute or two before we came through?
OOC: Kat heard a female voice but didn't say that. She never saw anyone's face either.
Necey gleans the dark elven woman is telling the truth but she's pretty hard to read.
