The Library

Shmautz charges the automoton and jumps over its reaching implentents of death and destructions order and cleanliness while jabbing it with his dagger.
Elph lashes out twice with his whip but is blockd by the dustpan and broom handle.
Baruman loads his sling and hurls a stone at the cleaning contraption and scores a solid hit

The cleaner whirls and smacks a boom at shmauts while its other implements move to protect itself
1 damage to Shmautz

Elph moves to the side for a better shot and fires twice while Shmautz strikes at the cleaning golems who twirls the dustbin to block the attacks.

You prove too much and with a shudder the construct collapses to the floor with a compartment full of dirts and odd items pops open spilling the contents to the floor.

Amid so the trash you find a few obviously magical items. 2 potions, a scroll, and a cloak. The room proves to be the Rhetoric and Law section. You search a while but find no books of interest in this section and Servitor does not react to anything.

After the ghost leaves you examine Baruman and after a few moments he recovers enough to speak. You quickly leave to library then make the trek back to the base.

Baruman is takin in by the priests to recover and they indicate no lasting damage was done but he will need to rest at least a week. Elph informs you that he will stay with Baruman but goes with you to talk with Falpip, the wizard, who identifies the magic you gathered. The two potions were of Haling and Giant Strength, and the scroll is for Restoration, and can sure most afflictions. The cloak you took is a Cloak of Displacement. Elph and Baruman only ask for 1 item each and say you can take one other item as you will continue adventuring.

Setting Back Out from the West Gate
Schmauts stands at the gate waiting for his new comrades to finish getting their gear together before setting out.

The Library is some ways to the SW of the swamp, so well over an hours travel from the base. After everyone has gathered up you set outSeren came in with the wagon train and so are familiar with the main road through the swamp, which you use to go back out. Shmautz explains the road is a recent addition and was only completed in its current well packed state a couple of weeks ago. Previously is was a simple crude mud track through the swamp and often required trudging through low water ways between the islands. The road and bridges let you cross the swamp in relative comfort. As you do you spot a variety of snakes, frogs, lizards, insects, mice, birds and a few crocodiles. Once past the swamp however you start seeing larger creatures known as dinosaurs. Some of these are the size of other beast but a few herds you spot are of beast the size of a cottage or larger. Shmautz recounts the danger of these beast he had last time where a predator the size of a tower (trex) started a stampede that almost got him and his companions killed in the ensuing chaos.Crossing the grassy grazing lands of the dinosaurs with it occasional hills and woods you reach the Library outer wall well before noon. The walls are well over 30 feet high and several hundred feet long. The tops of the wall have odd floating spheres attacked by thin wires floating and bobbing in the breeze. Each wall has a double door set into the middle. Around the Remnant, and along the way, you see occasional ruble form destroyed structures Only the Remnant appear to have weathered the ravages of the Breaking and time since then.

The orbs, floating above the wall, are about 1 foot diameter and bob lazily in the breeze. Each is tethered to the wall by a thin cord. From the north gate you look inside and see an open area around a single large building that is in even better condition than the wall that surround it. The surrounding courtyard is of paved stones set tight without mortar. The building is made of stone with windows on the top of the first floor and filling much of the second floor. On a large plaque over the main doors directly across from you you read Library of Paphos in large bold lettering. The door is of Bronze and like the walls is decorated with mural like etchings and carvings. The area is quiet, clean, and empty.

Oh! Hello Seren looks up into the face of the apparition. Seemingly unphased by the terrifying Visage.
Where might one find information on the crossing over of planar boundaries. Especially anything regarding the nature of the flow of time and fate in these zones. Nothing to academic though. Its been a long time since I've read anything so mundane as a book.
