Hadrian frowns at Belzo’s sudden change in behavior, but otherwise lets the moment pass by.
“I would advise against actively working to draw the attention of dark powers,” the cleric suggests. “Say...does anyone know what these bottles are for?” He asks, approaching the glass bottles.
As you look inside the bottles, you see that they're all filled with the dried out remains of what you believe are potions. You can't tell what these potions were intended to do or whether they're still capable of producing effects, but it is evident that these expired a long time ago.

Belzo smirks at Hadrian, starts to open his mouth to speak, but with a shake of his head, dismisses the idea to continue looking about the room. "Or, we could not accidentally poison ourselves." He comments to Fae as he more fully rejoined the others, and leans against a door frame. "Though... that could still have its uses. Assuming, of course, we come across anything with an actual heart beat, here or elsewhere. I would keep a few hand, if nothing else." Belzo grimaces and looks off down the hall for a moment. "I do not suppose any of you found remnants of other books, perhaps?"

Doremor shrugs, taking a quick poke around the room to see if there's anything hidden. If he finds nothing, he'll try to move on to x20 and sneak in there.
There's nothing else in this room. It appears that this was just an area for storing potions. You're fairly certain that you're unseen as you move to X20 and peer in the door. Dominating this room is a twelve-foot-tall model of a dark castle with high walls and tall spires. Behind it, tucked in a corner, are some ruined furnishings and a wooden chest.
Is anyone else going to follow Doremor into this room?

Belzo will only follow as far as the hallway, seeming more concerned with what might lie beyond the hallway ahead over a single room. That is, as soon as he realizes Doremor had even wandered ahead, in any case. But he keeps an passive eye out for any sign of more flying skulls or vengeful wolves. A symbol being absently inscribed in the ground with the butt of his staff.

Hadrian, you open the chest to see an old case that must have contained the floor plans for Castle Ravenloft, but it's empty now. You're about to slam the chest in frustration when you notice that the bottom is false. You do a bit of work to uncover a secret compartment that contains a Tome of Understanding.

Fae, you are able to recall one of Madam Eva's prophecies, about a holy symbol of great power hidden in a castle under a great mountain. You get the feeling that this might be what she was speaking of.

"A symbol of power? In here? Elyse, Ismark, help me open the doors so that we can search this castle." The three of them will start to pull open the doors so that the rest of you can enter the model castle.

OOC: Well there aren't too many more places for Doremor to go, so I'll say that it's reasonable to assume that he's in X20.

Hadrian, you recognize this castle from when you saw it in the village of Barovia. This is a scale model of Castle Ravenloft.
