"Tanarel, this sword looks powerful" Raven says. "One of us should test its metal in the next battle. You may if you like."
"I'm reluctant to split our already weak forces. We know the goblin escaped in this area. Let us focus our efforts here before returning to the torture room."
Raven will continue to search for secret doors in the hallway.

"Yes Raven. I noticed the weapon as well. I already have a longsword but a weapon which is shining like that shouldnt be neglected. I am willing to try it out if you dont mind. If its not of any better use then my regular sword, then we may pick it up and sell it at the next town. We might me able to get a decent price for it." Tanarel says while facing Raven.
"Dont you think its weird that every torch we came across was burning but this one isnt. I think it may act as a lever or something. We should try pulling it and if that doesnt work, maybe we should light it?" Tanarel pauses for a moment but quickly resumes by saying:"As for the torture chamber, I may have been quick to draw that conclusion. Like you said, The goblin did enter here and isnt to be seen. So the mystery should lie within this chamber!"

Lucian
Lucian moves up to join everyone else in the final room they've found. In response to Geramon's comment, he murmurs softly, "One, two, half a dozen...as long as we can make it out of here, I'll be happy to go along."
Lucian takes a potion and the ring, putting them in his pockets, while examining all the objects, trying to assess their value.
The smashed rat catches his attention and he goes over to look at it, not touching it of course, to see if he can tell what smashed it. When Tanarel makes his comment about the torch, he nods. "Yes, an anomaly to be sure, and one to be checked. Traps and illusions in his own dungeon...this Zanzer seems like the sort who might use a torch to hide the only way in or out."

Geramon
"Hold on Ron! I'm coming for you.
Just loud enough so anyone can hear, Geramon murmurs "Unless Tanarel is planning on wasting more potions, I will carry one myself. Since Aaman and I are the only 2 who can actually heal we should try and save the potions for a BETTER time... like when someone is DYING. Wisdom can also be found in asking who needs the potions the most, instead of wasting it just because you got some scratches. Oh well can't blame a man for being idiot... selfish... but still an idiot"
In a more loud and pleasant voice Geramon proceeds while stepping into the room"Well, maybe I can be of some help here, since I AM a wizard and all... You know... magic and stuff... we know these things... occasionally."
"Let me see those books and the items. I can probably determine their magic nature, if they are indeed magical. Plus they learned me quite some languages back at the Acadamy. I might be able to read some of the books."
Geramon will stand in the middle of the room and will take a quick glance at the books to determine if they are written in a language he knows. He will then start casting "Detect Magic" but with the grandest gestures possible and will add more arcane words then actually necessary, while trying to look as grotesque as possible.

"Geramon, If you had looked beyond your own nose you would have seen that WE were protecting YOU. If you had only taken a slight interest in me then you would have seen that I was bleeding all over the place. The potion I took may have saved my life and indirectly it may mean saving yours. If you think you can do a better job then me killing those faul beasts then you lead the way and slay them! I am risking my life for you and if you keep pushing me im not only gonna let you stay in this filthy place, but im also gonna make sure you stay here!" Tanarel says agitated.
"I am a servant of the great god Hoar. By being so I firmly believe that those who deserve to be helped should be helped. You Geramon are on a dangerous ground now. If you want to see your precious thing you keep calling again I suggest you get with the group and not against us. For all i know you are a spy send by Zanzer to check up on us!"

Morn speaks to Tanarel with an eye to Geramon
Morn tries to appear calm and profound.
"No need to get angry Tanarel. Geramon might be a learned man, but hasn't seen much of the world by his own admission. As he is proficient in the healing profession, he could see that I was holding on to my life nearly by willpower alone. A papercut could have sent me into unconsciousness. Geramon, since we might run into trouble at any moment, I think it is somewhat useful to use those potions and face trouble in a shape that we are fit to face it. They are of no use to us in our graves. But perhaps I speak to much."

Aaman sees no scribing on the wand. The wand is made of a red wood, and has a brick design on it.
Raven continues to fail at finding any secret doors in the hallway.
Lucian notices that the rat looks like it was smashed by a small foot, something that could have been similar to size as Sydney.
Skimming through the books and examining them, Geramon makes a good discovery.
Five books are written in Draconian. One of these books, as the wizard looks at, contains the spell sleep. A second book contains detect magic. A third book has the shield spell written in it. A fourth book has charm. And the fifth reads magic missile. Yet something is strange about these five books. Their material is very light, old, and easily breakable. Something else seems odd about these books also, but Geramon can't make it out.
Another book is written in a very old dialect of elven, which Geramon can make out mostly. Skimming through it, the wizard takes it as a novel, as it contains the story of a group of moon elves looking for water in the desert.
Another book is written in dwarven, and looks to be another story, about a bunch of dwarves defending their stronghold from invading humans and orcs. He also notices some sentances about a blue dragon sleeping in a cave.
Another book is also written in dwarven, yet a different dialect, and barely readable for Geramon. It looks like it might be the same story as the last book, though.
Another book is written in a language unknown to Geramon.
The last book looks very familiar to Geramon... VERY familiar. As he looks through it carefully, he notices many spells in it. Many spells written in HIS book. That's right, this IS Geramon's book, as it is signed "Geramon Greenrobe" on the last page of the book. A page is torn out of the book though. The wizard realizes that it is Expeditious Retreat that is missing from the book.
After reviewing the books and recovering his, Geramon casts Detect Magic. After some time, Geramon finds that there are lots of magic auras in this room. First of all, he can sense a strong aura coming from the books, of course. He also senses magical auras coming from the bow, arrows, wand, ring, and longsword.
[Geramon can make a Spellcraft check to try to determine the school of magic involved with each item if he wants.]
Axel walks up to the doorway. "Great, now we're going to be here forever with this guy examining all this junk. Wizards and their books... pff!" Peeking around the room, he then says, "Hurry up... wait, what's this? A dead end? Sheesh, see what happens when I'm not leading the front."
Geramon's acting of grotesqueness is believed by Sydney, Raven, Aaman, Celpher, Morn, and Axel, but not by Tanarel or Lucian. Tanarel and Lucian sense Geramon's attitudes towards the magical items.
Tanarel succeeds at intimidating Geramon.

"Morn I appreciate you speaking up. I value your opinion as much as I would value anothers. I dont mind not getting a thanks or anything, Years in the military service has thought me as much as that, But i cant stand people who try and pick a fight in a dangerous situation as we are in now. I will be okay now, for I will not harm a man who cant defend himself, but some situation require a stern talk or they might be causing even more problems than that they are solving." Tanarel says to Morn in a low voice hoping that Geramon wont hear it because that would mean trouble for sure.

Sydney Halehearth
Still a little awed by what transpired in the hallway, Sydney quietly pockets one of the potions, then tries to stay out of everyone's way. He softly approaches Tanarel, after the soldier has calmed down a little bit.
"Would you mind if I took a look at the sword, Tanarel? I have a little experience in metalwork and may be able to tell something about that shiny blade," Sydney offers the fighter.
