The Library

The university library is a two-story structure with a skylight on the roof. All of its shelves are 8 feet tall and full of books. Stepladders are located at various locations to help reach books on higher shelves.

The walls are wood and plaster on the inside with only a thin stone facing, allowing the rats to easily tunnel in. They have created two giant rat- sized passages, one ending on the main level, the other on the upper level in the reference section. Two others were abandoned and hidden by the rats.

1. Main Floor

The pillared section of the main floor is open to the atrium and skylights above. Two flights ascend to the second floor’s balconies. A small external door in the north wall is kept barred from the inside.

The main floor houses the library’s mundane collection—books of basic science, history, art, and literature. A heavy candelabra set with four plaster false candles sits atop each shelf. The fake candles have been treated with continual flame spells and provide dim light.

Silver Clubs. The candelabra on the two shelves flanking the rats’ tunnel entrance (X) are made of solid silver, and can act as clubs if used against the wer- eratsbyadventurerswhodonothavesilverormagic weapons.

Zamus and the rats made an entrance here but have since chosen to focus their search on the rare book room. Located in a narrow space between two bookcases at the X, the tunnel opening is covered by a section of plaster wall that the rats remove when entering the room and it can be dis- covered with a DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check.

2. Cloakroom

Staff keep their coats, capes, wraps, street shoes, and minor accoutrements here.

3. Staff Room

Librarians use this room for their own study or for relaxation between shifts. It contains couches, ta- bles, shelves, and storage areas for personal items.

4. Conference Chamber

This chamber contains tables and chairs for pri- vate meetings and conferences.

5. Documents Room

The walls of this room are lined with shelves containing varied documents—old manuscripts, treaties, maps, and the like—as well as several tables and chairs for study. A small door to the outside is kept barred at all times. The rats have searched the room, but sealed the entrance to their tunnel and restored it to its original state. Any adventurer that makes a DC 20 Intelligence (Investigation) check finds that the wall has been altered or repaired in the recent past, but digging into it reveals nothing out of the ordinary.
