Seeing that his companions are treating Arxius as a friend, Shake steps forward to introduce himself. Bowing low to Arxius Shake says, "Hello there noble Arxius. My name is Shake. I was also captured by the fiends in the place, and was kept in a cage like an animal until your friends here came and saved me. As you can no doubt tell by my tone and graceful poise, I am a trained Bard, capable of singing in three languages: Common, Elfin, and Dwarf. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Arxius snorts. “Never been accused of that before,” she looks at the others, smiling now that she’s back with them. “Forgive me for leaving. I thought it was what I needed. Destroying this madness might be the better option though.”
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Talien begins pilfering over Arxius's weapons to make sure they are the same ones he has cleaned before. Perception 17
If Talien is convinced that it is her, he will say (in a normal voice not whispering but directed only to you) I am not sure about this one called Shake. He calls me mechanism and says something about getting one. How can he hope to get to my homeland....I think his brain is off.
(Bit late to the party here but it is what would have happened, got a new phone so I'm getting settled in.)

Looks like her equipment!
Late? Nah, Talien coming in off kilter is on par for his character haha :)
A layer of soil covers the floor. Rough wooden shelves, filled with a scattering of tomes and scrolls, line the north and east walls, and a rough-hewn desk stands in the center of the chamber. Fungus on the ceiling provides light, apparently in sufficient quantity to nourish several small bushes and pale saplings that grow in the soil.
The chair Arxius was tied to sits opposite the desk. In the right corner of the room an empty chest sits open.
Available Checks:
Investigation or Perception (DC 15) of the goods, books, and scrolls scattered on the shelves throughout the room
Alten will use the Help Action to provide a second set of eyes to provide assistance in the search for Arxius or Rees, which ever one wants to conduct a search.

Talien would help Grom as he knows it's his 'thing' He would ask while looking about Do you think this want could be an item like the one you touched to give you power? If it is or if we ever find another and I learn magic can you teach me the ways and how to use it? Slight pause Can you use it for invisibility? Perhaps to make more of an item? What all can magic do? Are the possibilities endless?
Most of the scrolls and books appear to store seasonal records of growth, precipitation, harvests, and similar notes for the surrounding lands for the last dozen years.You do however, spot one book with strange runic writing on its spine, much like you have seen elsewhere in the citadel.
Finally you find a book on druidic theories on the cycle of life and death (worth 150 gp) and 365 gp and four agate gems (20 gp each) in the desk and other cubbyholes.

“Good to meet you, Shake. Cages are something I make a point of freeing people from. Glad they found you. Certainly an improvement on our last bard.”

Shake beams at Arxius, "Thank you milady. It's nice to meet somebody with such clearly refined taste."

Arxius will unhook her handaxe as Talien takes her daggers to hand it over to him as well. Whatever was required for them to know it was her.

Alright, let's move it forward and see if we can end this. Arxius, you want to lead the way since you've been there before?

Talien returns the weapons and draws his 2 hand sword moving to the front of the group. (Behind Arxius)

Ungrim lands on Arxius's shoulder and snuggles up against her neck,
Grom will snap and the light spell ends, he will take up his axe and pack and prepare to move out taking up the rear of the group.

“As long as he’s good in a fight, right, Big Guy?” Arxius says to Talien. She smiles to Grom as Ungrim snuggles into her. “Alright, let’s do this.”
She’ll lead the way back to the study.

He does more singing and talking than fighting. Let's move, time is of the essence.

Most of the scrolls and books appear to store seasonal records of growth, precipitation, harvests, and similar notes for the surrounding lands for the last dozen years.You do however, spot one book with strange runic writing on its spine, much like you have seen elsewhere in the citadel.
You also uncover a couple of spell scrolls. Once you hand them to Grom he reads them and surprising even himself relays that one is a spell scroll of entangle and the other a spell scroll of protection from poison.
Finally you find a book on druidic theories on the cycle of life and death (worth 150 gp) and 365 gp and four agate gems (20 gp each) in the desk and other cubbyholes.
How many desks/bookshelves are there and what are their weights?
Talien says to nobody at all. Still no hammer.
