There are some story relevant points I will want them to come across (no great loss if they don't), along with some interesting bits and pieces for pure flavor.I have two questions for you:1.) What exactly are the mechanics for researching info in a "library" such as this? (A Search check lasting 8 hours/check? What constitutes a good check? What is the benefit of a good roll?)2. Aside from story-driven information, what other goodies could they come across in this cache of writings that would make the time they spend worth while (to, say, the fighter or the paladin?).Thanks!</blockquote>
