Shrugging, Norzak opens the box and has a look inside, curious.

Cirdan will take broadsword and hang it onto his belt.
Then, he will take all the other stuff but the arrows and put them into his Bag of Holding.

When he returns to the others, still limping, he will offer Norzak the helmet, should the dwarf happen to be near...

Opening the top panel, Norzak can see inside the box. It contains a complex clockwork mechanism.

"Benn, what is it you are seeing?"

Unsure as to how to proceed, Norzak will take his time to analyse and see to making it function properly. First he casts a cantrip Detect Magic

Taking 20 on the making the box work properly. Int Bonus is +2, Wis +1 so Norzak gets either 21 or 22 if I am not mistaken, to figure out the musical box.

3rd floor the library-

Cirdan enters the room, an unbroken, if rusty, sword hanging from his belt.

The knight finds Benn staring intently into a hand mirror [Cirdan will probably recognize the mirror!] . Dorgio stands near at hand, watching Benn.

Wat's cabin-

Wat snores on the rug. Alain is resting on a cot. Jon hears [the others seem not to hear] a scratching noise from someplace in one of the two back rooms of the cabin.

Cirdan will call out for Ben... And Ben will better answer quickly, because the knight is already storming forward, and will throw down and knock out the scientist if he seems hypnotized (or just a little absent-minded, better safe than sorry!!!).

Jonathan pulls his silver knife and stealthily approaches the source of the sounds.

Benn shakes his head free of his reverie, looking up at the others. "Not to worry," he says, "I appear to be viewing the past history of this room. There is no sign of the ghost, at least not yet."

He returns to observing the room through the mirror. "It is peculiar, I see people in the room, perhaps old friends of Wolutha's? Who can say?" He continues to observe, seeing if anything else develops, turning in a circle to look for any other interesting details in the room.

Wat's cabin-

Jon creeps towards the back of the cabin, knife in hand. He can now pinpoint the origin of the sound- it's coming from something scrathing the rough wood of the back door from the outside. There's a small shuttered window [no pane] nearby, out of which Jon might be able to spy whatever it is that's scratching at the door.

[/b] the Keep, NE tower, 3rd floor [library]

Cirdan pulls up short of knocking down Benn, when the scholar answers.

Benn gazes again into the mirror and sees the scene shift as he turns. The figures in the room blur and fade...

Now, Benn sees a small group of workmen or servants refurbishing the room. Tall wooden shelves installed along the walls where once had hung bright tapestries. Crates of scrolls, wooden tablets, and leatherbound books are being brought in and stacked on these shelves under the direction of a lovely blonde of perhaps sixteen. Her robe is violet blue to match her bright eyes.

The sounds of the scene seem to suggest themselves to Benn, but he's not sure that he's actually hearing anything- just a vague impression of the young lady's voice and the noises made by the workers.

upstairs, the fourth floor bedchamber-

Norzak has failed to detect any sort of magic coming from the box. Now, the dwarf is working slowly, examining the mechanism, figuring out how it functions.

Jonathan moves slowly to the window to peek at the cause of the scratching. He keeps his knife ready if he needs it.

Wat's cabin-

Opening the shutters and peeking through the glassless window, Jon spots the cause of the noise: a scruffy looking hound is clawing at the back door. The animal may look familiar to Jon- it resembles the hound curled up next to Wat, in the front of the cabin.

Jonathan open the door for the hound, but does not put away his weapon.

The lean hound immediately enters the cabin. It approaches Jon and sniffs him- then skitters backwards towards the far wall. The beast sets up a low, rumbling growl; fur bristling and teeth bared.
