Devlin Loretower

"Anything good in those books?" Devlin asks Cedric. Since leaving the bardic college, he had come to realize what he missed most wasn't the classes or his fellow students, but the library. Pulling odd jobs in the "real world" rarely left one with a few free hours to peruse stacks of books.

"Hey, would you watch--" is all Devlin can muster before Chaoros clunks him with a massive shank of his own. The illumian stumbles toward the bookshelf and trips over his own two feet--or so it seems. Looking down, he notices a seam in the floor. A flash of bright light blinds him for a split second, and Devlin realizes it as the flash from the glasses that Whizbang (his former employer) had tested on him. As the flash subsides, a tool by the bookshelf radiates faint light, and Devlin sees a rough sketch in his head of a secret compartment. He picks up the tool from the shelf and looks to his companions. "This is made to pry open the secret opening at my feet...just big enough to conceal one creature. Shall we press our luck and open it?"

If the other characters don't try to stop him, Devlin will use the flat metal tool to open the compartment in the floor.
