Seeing the soldier and his flaming sword poking through the wall, I quickly run to the nearby walls and scribe a protection rune on them to keep the books and scrolls from bursting into flames. After assuring him that I'm not in any danger, I tell him to go ahead and follow the others. I think the library may contain some useful information about this mysterious wizard, and I wish to stay behind and search for it. I will then begin to look through the books, taking note of any magic related works and what schools they pertain to.
