Kirio walks up to the sarcophagus and picks up the tome "I know you can likely do this better than I Arnir, but I can't resist these things..."

Kirio, the cover of the book looks and feels like cured flesh. When you pick it up, almost all of the pages crumble to dust, forcing you to cough and sputter. What pages still remain are covered in arcane writings which are unknown to you, despite your attempts at spellcraft.

Alric flinches at the opening of the sarcophagus. He honestly expected the floor to open up into a pit of acid or the ceiling to fall on everyone. He breathes a sigh of relief that nothing happens to Hrimr... like spikes. He still isn't crossing that bridge.

Kirio shrugs and hands the tome over to Arnir... "beyond me my young arcane friend; seems entirely up your alley though. The rest of these things should prove a good start, if not sufficient to restoring Bannock, should we be able to find a sufficiently powerful cleric."

Leaving the taking/carrying of the loot to Alric and Bannock, the defacto party mules, Kirio inspects the southern passage from the spider lair. "Le't move this bridge over this gap and move on, I'm anxious to secure the decanter and leave this place. I'll wager we're not done with nasty encounters sadly... let's get them over with no? Hrimr and Alric should lead the way, glowing sword and sees well underground and all that..." Kirio motions for help in moving the bridge over so they can continue on.

Arnir gasps softly as arcane secrets beyond reckoning turn to dust in Kirio's hands and he rubs his temples "I must seek an alchemist for this headache..." he mumbles as he sullenly accepts the tome, placing it in his pack for later inspection. Turning to the heavily shellacked scroll tube, he eyes it carefully and inspects it before trying to open it up.
"I'm with Kirio on this. Spider's dead and Mystra willing, we shall not be troubled by anything as nasty as this spider. Let's get the decanter and make for the Lyceum as fast as possible. I don't want to spend another night in this gods forsaken place."

Arnir, the large polished tube is quite heavy when you pick it up. Inspecting it yields nothing of interest. You open the tube by unscrewing one end very slowly as the threading is old, not lubricated and judging by the sound it is making, made from some kind of metal. When you remove one end, your nose is filled with strange smells: smoke, sulphur and an irony hint of dried blood and cured leather. For a moment you think that the tube is empty, but you soon see that it is almost packed full with a tightly rolled up length of pitch black vellum or parchment.
Kirio, you and the party relocate Hrimr's stone platform with some effort, creating a bridge over the five foot gap to the other passageway. The passage is filled with thick webbing and it appears as if you are walking through a white tube-like tunnel.
The passage turns to the North and leads to an ancient web-choked chamber whose floor is covered in stones, broken masonry and segments of stone that seemed to be part of a vast staircase at one point. Looking up, you now see that you are standing at the bottom of the shaft you spied from the floor above. The trickling of water indicates the nearby position of the alabaster decanter on a portion of stone perhaps 10 feet above you. You also see the three packs that hang from patches of webbing on the walls at various heights.

Arnir turns to Bannock "Would you be a good chap and carry this tube? I find it a bit taxing! Let's get the decanter...and those packs...and get out of here."
