The agents waste no time in dispatching the last soulsliver. Like the others, it explodes in a shower of damaging shards, but between skill and Mely's healing spells, they mostly avoid the damage. Almost simultaneously, the mirror embedded in the floor shatters, spraying shards into the air.
The argents are then able to freely move about the room. The mirror, looking very much like the one in the orrery, is broken. The group is able to recover shards from the room and reassemble them much as before, allowing return to the previous chamber.
A neatly bound copy of the notes, likely from Hao Jin taken while conducting research at the library. Even a er all this time, her notes sit open on the floor to the south of the scrying mirror. A cursory examination of these notes shows that Hao Jin was researching a variety of locations, including known sites across Golarion, several cities throughout the Inner Planes, and unrecognizable numerous destinations However, her extensive itinerary culminates in a major visit to Axis, the Outer Plane of absolute law. Collectively these notes provide many leads as to where the legendary sorcerer might be found, even a er the several intervening centuries.
On the table in the southwest corner are several items that look to be possessions the former librarian; Sihir is ultimately able to identify the items: a ring of spell knowledge II and an everwake amulet of natural armor +2.
The agents find serval more volumes in this section of the library, nearly filling the bag of holding.
Once satisfied they have fully explored the area, the agents make their way out of the library. Once outside, they see the light of the sun! Whatever magic holding the library to the plane of shadow is gone. They are met by the Scalrebreakers. The little kobolds seems impressed by the success of the Pathfinders, they talk about seeking a new home away from the newfound brightness.
Ultimately, the agents return through the planar eddy to Skyreach. They soon find Ambrus who debriefs them and listens eagerly to their report. He notes that the Society has lessons to learn from the librarians’ mistake and congratulates the team on taking the first steps toward finding one of the most famous missing people in the world. Winning the tapestry has been a great boon for the Society, and they stand to learn even more if they can find Hao Jin herself.
Ambrus also tells the PCs that Krieghton Shaine’s apprentices have begun sorting the documents they brought back. Their examination has already revealed some magical books with their auras disguised; the Society may be able to o er the team a discount on these books in appreciation of their hard work.
