Researching in Briarstone

[Selvaxri]

Can someone help me understand the "Research" rules? After the players in my game cleared out the Ratlings in the library, they wanted to try to get some information- and stumped by the research rules, i asked them to wait until i understood the rules.

A little help would be nice. Thanks.

Up to three characters can roll (I assume one per Knwoledge: local, History, Religion) DC 15. Up to 2 can help another (to get +2), with an additional +2 from the library. 1 roll per 8h

They do 1-die + Int «knowledge damage» to the Library. There are several alternative methods to calculate that die, but you can simply give 1d4 to most chars, 1d8 to scholar classes (like a wizard) and 1d12 to knowledge based classes, such as a Bard or Oracle of Lore.

They also do +1 damage per 5 extra rolled above the DC 15.

Once they reduce the Knowledge Points of the library to a certain treshold, read that paragraph. IE the library starts at 35, if they do 10 damage, reduce it to 25, and read the 30 and 25 entries
