Lleidr will examine the wall where the message appeared, looking for a concealed or secret door.
"Some sort of message appeared here, but I couldn't read it, and now it won't show up again. Can you all hear that sound coming from the rubble? At first it sounded like a howl but now it's almost a whisper?"
You can find no secret passage or hidden door.
I'm going to be out of town until Sunday night, so that's when the next update should be.
Lleidr, i will see you Sat night!
Lleidr, i will see you Sat night!
"Can you write down what you remember of the message? Even if you couldn't read the script maybe you can get enough of the pattern that someone who reads the language could make some sense of it."
I'm more concerned about the sound. It may have hostile intentions.

I didn't describe the shape of the lettering, if you could even call it that. It flashed suddenly and faded fast; the characters were unrecognizable and disappeared so quickly, the exact shape of the is difficult to recall.
However, the lettering, if it was that, bore a similarity to the carven scripts along the walls throughout these catacombs.
NOTE - even though the eastern passage is blocked, there's still a door at the end of the south passage which is unopened.
"I'm sorry, Ned. They flashed and faded too quickly. Maybe some sort of trap or warning? Possibly related to the noise we can hear below?"
I believe Lleidr's already listened and checked for traps at the southern door, so he'll move down the south passage to it, waiting to make sure the bigguns are backing him up before he opens the door.
There's no noise at present; it came and went very quickly. The only noise any of you heard was from the stairwell.
[Morning, Catacombs, 5th Day After Goblin Raid]
This strange room is a fifteen-foot-diameter sphere. Several objects float in the room, spinning lazily in space—a ragged book, a scroll, a bottle of wine, a dead raven surrounded by a halo of floating and writhing maggots, and a twisted iron wand with a forked tip. Yet perhaps the most unnerving aspect of the room is the walls, for they are plated in sheets of strange red metal that ripple every once in a while with silent black electricity that seems to coalesce into strange runes or even words far too often for the effect to be chance.
"O.K., that's just wierd."
Detect magic and Spellcraft to identify the sword.
... So a CL5 item or lower is identified
A place of chaos it seems... Let us move on and quickly!
Lleidr will peer around Jub at the objects spinning in the air. "What could the point of this room be?" he'll mutter. He'll dig out an extra candle and toss it into the room.
There is no visible door here, other than the one you're using.
The aura here is incredibly strong, nearly overwhelming to your perception. To your eyes, the room's magical glow is like that of the sun. It's aura type is probably transformative, and explains how these objects can free themselves from the ground. As you all crowd into the room for a look, you notice the earth exerting a lesser pull on any arms and legs protruding into the chamber.
A separate, relatively weaker aura emanates from the wand, evocative in nature.
"If anyone's got a rope, tie me off and let's go fishing!"
Agreed, Ned. This is unsettling.
Jubrayl bows his head muttering in celestial before lifting his head up and looking about again.
The book is evil, however, with no aura which would indicate any kind of active magical effect.
BTW, the candle from Lleidr is now in the room, spinning around.
You're in (or just outside of) room B11.
Pull back friends, unless you find some way within - here there is something concrete and mundane - these stairs will take us down to greater mysteries
Sorry .. It's a Longsword +1. You don't detect any other abilities.
The most recent stairs are blocked down; the first set of stairs lead up only and are blocked. By your group's rough estimation, they'd probably come out somewhere on Junker Street.
You saw Erylium's familiar in the cathedral (not sure if I pointed him out). He was very much alive just a couple of days ago. The bird in this room has been dead much longer.

Gotcha. Still don't regret not putting points in animal medical examiner.
You can try!
There are no other visible exits/passages/doors left to be explored other than the blocked stairwells.
Was Lleidr able to recover the desired items from the zero gravity room?

Yes, even the maggot-ridden bird, if you want it.
