You are looking to literally for the puzzle.

The library has a purpose. And with its owner absent, a purpose which hasn't been served for a while. It's acting more like a host who hasn't seen any guests for a while. Cleaning the place up, putting out its version of refreshments.

As for the alternative, well you saw the last room respond to offensive guests.

Summoning the former Master Mage is not an option. Powerful mages, like Adrian Eldrich, do not follow the same rules of afterlife as others do.

If you have a reasonable bonus for your check, it'd be good to Aid Zyzzak rather than make your own. I didn't because Evelyn's bonuses are low, and I did not want to risk adding a penalty to Zyzzak's checks.

To follow the friendly path of leaving the library, everyone needs to spend some time reading at one of the tables or chairs. It literally doesn't matter what book you choose. So, if you want one person to find the book on the Nexus or Alternity Atlas and everyone else just grab something off the shelf, that's fine. But this is just as much an opportunity for some character development and growth as it is anything.

In her own way, Evelyn has agreed to Luke's plan, which is as you stated: read something. Though she's pressing the team to be constructive and get something mission appropriate.

I am just trying to avoid any PCs just choosing to stand watch or wait around while the important books are being read and deciphered.

Anyone looking for a book needs to make an INT or Investigate check, with a PRE check acting as their own Team check

Luke is useless in investigation or straight up presence checks, so he'll be soaking in books on Mardi Gras and it's recipes.

I've had a very busy weekend, but I'll be able to get a post up for Elizabeth in the morning.

Elizabeth needs to make another roll INT/Investigate, this time at -2. There is no penalty on the PRE roll.

Ok, I added Elizabeth's latest rolls to her last post. I'm having a hard time getting good rolls...just kinda average.

Zyzzak needs to make an INT check to understand the book. He doesn't have any of the skills necessary, but he can make the roll due to Eidetic Memory.

Madame Macabre has one of the necessary skills (Expertise: Magic).

I would like for everyone to post what book they are reading. You can choose the book that fell near your character easily, grab one at random, or search for a specific one.
