There are tons of books and scrolls in here. After a bit of searching, Alzar decides to come back later to try and see if he can find more tomes to take with him the hallway goes west and splits off south. They keep going west. A door blocks their way and it opens easily. Inside is a small and luxuriously decorated semi-circular room. Inside is a small alcove with a statue of a young girl with arms outstretched. A search of the room reveals a secret door to the rear Lastion opens it, and gold dust falls from the ceiling and covers him. It glows and he won’t be able to hide from anyone. A quick attempt to wash it off fails, it’s pretty sticky stuff.
The room they enter has a small foundation of water in a corner, a door to the northeast, and tapestries that cover the north and south walls. They enter the next room after opening the door, and see two statues, guarding an alcove. They animate when the door opens and move to fight. These are crystal statues.
Alzar moves to the front and draws a staff. Lastion is up with him. The Animal skeletons disperse. The statues arrive.
They swing first and punch Alzar for 5 damage. 38/51. His staff bounces off one. Lastion claws one for 1 damage. The next turn, Alzar’s group goes first. Alzar misses. Lastion does too.

Inside the room they find the diary of Lady Argenta, and learn the story thus far.
A short time ago, some miners discovered a very valuable ruby in the local hills. They polished it and brought it to the Lady Argenta, ruler of the valley. As a thanks, she threw a large banquet and just before it began, a rider in blue armor riding a white dragon arrived. He was a stranger, but everyone was welcome in the valley, and he joined them in their banquet.
That is the last entry in the diary.
They leave the room and find the corridor here collapsed, leading to the section of the castle that has fallen.
