[Adventure] Murder Most Foul! Part 2 (Judge: EvolutionKB)

Malehan opens the door quietly. With Knoepf's light, he sees a large bedroom, richly furnished. There is a very elegant four poster bed with plush comforters and pillows on it. There is a fireplace, but it is empty and cold at the moment. Next to the fireplace is a plush chair, presumably designed for comfortable reading. There are multiple armoires in the room as well as a desk and some bookcases with books. There are several tapestries on the walls, depicting epic struggles between deities, demons, dragons, and others. Spread around the room are various carvings and figurines of different beings of power: devils, dragons, primordials and more. The magnificence and sheer overwhelming power of the room is almost palatable.

"Garrick, looks for any magical aura." asks Malehan before doing a quick search for the room.
[SBLOCK=OOC]Malehan search for traps, secret doors, lever or mechanism and for any valuable items.
Perception (1d20+19=20) Lol... natural 1. Lucky enough, it is still a 20 and there is not automatic miss with skills. Malehan Passive Perception is 29 if it is of any use.[/SBLOCK]

Although searching quickly, Malehan finds a variety of quasi-valuable items. Hand crafted boots and finely tailored clothes in the armoires, nice books in the bookcases, the carvings and figurines are of high quality, and the tapestries, the comforters on the bed, and the carpet on the floor are of expensive make. If the PCs had time to loot this room and sell the items, they would net hundreds if not thousands of gold pieces. With regard to additional information, Malehan doesn't find any. He finds no papers or documents in the desk. It appears that the desk is designed to be used for correspondence with pens, paper, and ink available, but there are no such documents there at the moment.
With a nod, Garrick quickly focuses on the items, trying to sort out those of magical nature.
Garrick peruses the room. The only magic he detects is that of his fellow adventurers. But, he does find a bookmark in one of the books in one of the bookcases. The book is entitled "The Discourse of Horkul: the Disturbed Ramblings of a Madman". Glancing at the beginning of the book, it was written about 140 years earlier and appears to be a scholarly treatise on the writings of one Iriekahn Horkul some five hundred years earlier. The bookmark is on a page which discusses an arcane procedure to gradually and simultaneously siphon arcane power from multiple powerful extradimensional entities, but the author explains in that section a lot of arcane technical reasons why this particular arcane theory is totally unsound.
"Hmm, not good. Not good at all. Experience tells me that tapping extra-dimensional entities for power without their consent is usually a very horrible idea. Which makes doing so with their consent a horrible idea anyway. If this sorcerer is trying to get this to work, things could get ugly, fast." says Garrick as his face takes a worried look.
"We should hurry before this fool makes his last mistake," he adds as motions the others to keep moving, "and our lives all that more interesting" he ends in a whisper.

Vex remained tense and wary as the others searched the room- from time to time she spun her greatsword through tight arcs, as if burning off excess nervous energy. "What say you then? Up the stairs, or back to that other door from the first room?"
