All is still now that Lhaeo's scribbling has ceased.<br/><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">Roll Result: Will Save rolled: 1d20, adding 13to the total<br/>Comment: Souls<br/>Result: 2, <br/>Total: 15</div></div><br/><br/>An inspection of the remainder of the short, stout tower reveals that it contains three more rooms. The kitchen adjoining Lhaeo's study is cozy and clean. Several aged albeit meticulously kept pots hang from hooks beneath a shelf cluttered with cutlery and lordly spices--several earth ware teacups and a teapot that  to have been old when Cormanthyr was young. There is a table and a pair of chairs of Halfling make, like Lhaeo's desk and the chairs in his office. A fire burns in a stone hearth, a door leads to a woodshed cluttered with aged hickory and pine.<br/><br/>Above the first floor is a bedroom with a single window, a cozy bed that has not been slept in in sometime, a table and two chairs, and two chests--both of the latter look to be heavily warded, all but thrumming with magical protections.<br/><br/>The uppermost floor contains a single room with naught but another chair and desk of halfling make.
