    As the old man rushes to the window, he calls back "Spell scrolls, books..." then seems to forget what he was answering. "What do I have in here, twenty-five enchanted arrows? That's plenty."

    Minutes 1-2: Check the library
    Checking the spells and arcana section, Cassandra and Chloe find the following:
    Spell scrolls: Cure Wounds, Mass Healing Word, Divine Favor, Grease, Magic Missile, Gentle Repose, Flaming Sphere, Magic Circle
    Scroll copying inks and tools worth 525gp.

    Looking at other areas, you do find the Monster Encyclopedias of the Order. Each is a collection of books, and is thus heavy and bulky. Do you take them? If so, who will carry and study them?
    Encyclopedia of Undead: Auto-pass checks to identify undead immunities and vulnerabilities by type. 10 lbs.
    Encyclopedia of Monsters: Auto-pass checks to identify dragon and monstrosity immunities and vulnerabilities by type. 10 lbs.

    Minutes 3-4: Move down to the Armory
    The hallways are clear as you jog out of the library, down the stairs, and into the armory on the second floor.

    Minutes 5-6: Pick up items from the Armory
    The armory is a large L-shaped room, lit by yellow mage-lights attached to the ceiling. It includes not just storage for arms and armor, but also a large maintenance and repair area. A suit of full plate is currently disassembled on a table in this area, with the gauntlets pulled completely apart and soaking in a bath of oil.

    Storage cabinets along the wall also contain useful equipment for soldiering, including picks, shovels, rope, tents, healer’s kits, equipment packs, and other tools.

    The armory contains at least two of every type of mundane armor or weapon that the party could desire aside from full plate.

    It also contains:
    Healer’s Kits (5) (3lbs each)
    Caltrops (15)
    Ball Bearings (6)
    Hunting traps (4) (25lbs. ea)
    Explorer’s Packs (as per PHB)
    Tents, torches, tinderboxes, etc.
    +1 Shortsword
    +1 Spear
    400 arrows
    200 crossbow bolts
    Wyvern Hide Armor (Hide +1, resist poison, no attunement)
    Half Plate of Cold Resistance (no attunement)
    Shield of Fire Resistance (no attunement)

    It takes 1 minute to put on light armor, 5 to put on medium armor, and 10 to put on heavy armor. If everyone puts on light armor, I need to add 1 minute to the timer for that.

    Who takes what? Be sure to update your character sheets, and possibly post OOC for future reference.
    => Party feedback before proceeding
