You blend in so well that your body starts to disappear in the eyes of the others (this has never happened before), only leaving your eyes and your wide smile. You go ahead of the group and there is a long hallway that is filled with all sorts of banned books. At the end of the hallway you see a bifurcation in the road just as Archimedes said.... However the left branch is obstructed by a bookcase that has tread-marks underneath. This bookshelf was not here before you conclude from the marks. You also hear the sound of a battle going on in the distance and feel a rush of a cold air so cold it makes your fur stand on end coming from the blocked section.

With that investigation check here is the most prominent excerpt you find: "In relations to the slave incident: The Coachman ravished the country in search for slaves for the mines between the Forest of Faries and the Forest of Madness. Many races from many Districts died during his reign, with the biggest casualty coming from the Wild District. It is estimated we lost over 2000 souls in the span of 2 years, and that is considered to be a conservative estimation. Luckily for the slaves, a group of residents from the Wild District that were captured by the Coachman fought back and after a long battle came out victorious. The group has remained anonymous throughout the years, all that is known from them is that they were called 'The 5 Amigos'." The book trails off and starts talking about how this event affected Town Square economically and in other areas.
Cheshire speaks quickly. “Fighting ahead but the library might be trying to keep us from it.” He turns and heads back toward the dead end and the sounds of battle. He starts knocking books from the shelf blocking the path looking for a way through.

In an action that were he a biological lifeform, would have been portrayed as ignoring the actions of his party mates rushing to battle, Tik-tok continued on with the same pace as before, one eye still in the book.
The pages told a story about the enslavement of various districts and the impact on the area; all information that could prove useful later on. However, the information failed to provide answers useful to the immediate situation. While the others reacted to the shifting shelves and sounds of a struggle ahead, Tik-tok continues reading, looking for any information, this time regarding the shelves themselves, but more importantly, about the Coachman.
Sullydoesn't even shiver at the cold, but sounds of combat mean trouble and seems to be just the Opening Door of opportunity that will lead to a needed discovery and moves in the direction indicated by Cheshire.

You all see the bookshelf move as Hathi pushes it with all their might. You think that if a few of you pushed you could possibly brute force it if a few tried. Anyone who would want to join the push give me a STR check (the more that push the lower the DC for the group will be). The moment you touch the bookshelf your hands immediately start to feel as if they could fall of at any second so if you are pushing it's going have to be all at once and fast. You hear behind the bookshelves a loud (almost deafening) sound, that sounds like wings flapping. And in between that loud noise you could swear you heard someone scream the name "Anna!"
Tik-Tok:
Looking for info about the bookshelves all you find is a long list of attractions in Town Square that has advertisements and info next to them and in the info for the 'Wild Library' you find the following: "The Wild Library is one of the jewels of this District...(goes on a few paragraphs about info for the library). But beware if it's hidden knowledge you seek you may never return. The whole library is said to be imbued with forgotten magic that keeps the bookshelves always moving and the source of this magic is said to be somewhere in the Restricted section. In this area bookshelves and books almost take a life of their own and are never in the same place twice. Only very powerful magic users can navigate this place." And on the History of the Coachman you find a page that has actually ripped out halfway and all you can read is: "Person responsible for catching was Peter Pan. The Coachman is currently being hold at..." it ends there
Tik-tok shut the book and returned it to his pack. The source material was proving to be less than adequate for his current needs, and reading through every page was simply too ineffective a manner to identify useful information to his situation.
Rotating his arm joint he bent his it backward at the elbow being that his own did not have the hinge-joint limitations of most biological humanoids. Doing so, he unslung the crossbow from his back, and brought it around and up in front of him.
He walked towards the group pushing against the bookcase, bringing it at the ready for whatever threats the removal of the book laiden barricade may unleash. Though internally he questioned the actions still, and the logic behind going TOWARDS the sound of danger.
You hear the voice from the shadows as the first book falls to the ground say to you "It's time to sleep little child and fly your way to Neverland.". Your eyes get heavier and heavier until you cannot keep them open. Your body falls to the ground against your will and the last glimpse you see before your eyes close is a person in green clothing step out of the shadows with a dagger in his hand.
Make one last perception check before you fall asleep.
Group:
You guys budge the bookshelf out of the way and immediately feel overwhelmed by the sound of flapping wings (from this point on you will have disadvantage on all hearing and sight related perception checks, unless you have darkvision). And up ahead maybe 70 to 80 ft there is some kind of battle or something going on. As you walk ahead you realise youn are going in to battle soon. So please tell me your formation and if you want to have any actions prepared or pre cast some spells.

Tik-tok sees no reason to rush into battle between unknown forces, in an unfamiliar area, with others he's just barely met, after tagging along with Archimedes. That being said, he hangs back 15-20 feet from the others, his crossbow to be used only if he necessarily deems something a threat to himself.
You black out before you could ever see anything of importance. But here is what you can gather... the figure was coming toward your body. You hear voices as you fall asleep and can't tell if they are real or if they are dream. "Get... get away from my sister!" a pause... "Get away!" you feel a warmth throught your body and then.. nothing. You are fully asleep.
Group:
As you approach the cold gets more bitter... just to be replaced with an intese burning for a brief brief moment. You see blazes in the dark, that while are visible do not make the area any more visible to any of your eyes. You see books floating, opening and closing their pages as if they were wings. They are floating over what looks to be a body.
