Entering through the open door, Brutumukk and Jub find themselves in a labyrinth of bookshelves, and...floating books?! The books seem to be all floating above in the air and between the shelves. Some to be putting themselves away, while others are open in the air. A curious sight indeed!

The refreshing smell of new book pages being opened fills the air, along with the sound of a mocking voice, singing a poem, 

"[I]Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch![/I]"

That voice definitely belonged to the ogre cats! They're somewhere around here...and they are taunting the pair and macaw.

There are three paths open to Brutrumukk and Jub: A path that leads straight to a fountain and another center of crossed paths, a path to the right, and a path to the left.

Nothing of note happens as Rearden takes the potions. When she does sniff the Shrink potion, she does feel a little lightheaded, but it swiftly passes. 

[hider=Gabriel Only. Open if you succeed on a Perception check of 15]When Rearden sniffed the 'Shrink' potion, he notices something. It's faint but he does see that she briefly lost an inch of height. But she recovered that inch after corking it and putting the potion away. [/hider]

Zavakri meanwhile, looks to the cat carcass and picks it up. She puts the taxidermied cat into her pack and if anyone asks, she would answer him,

"I have a feeling that this cat might be important to have. That's why I'm bringing it with us, just in case," 

Rearden and Gabriel can see that her irises still show the strange golden clock faces.

The door opens with ease. Looking inside, Aurora sees the next room's interior. Slivers of light enter through cracks in the shutters that cover three tall windows. The light reveals the shapes of several pedestals. On each one rests an object with a patchwork cloth draped over it. Wilting ferns in crumbling clay pots give the room its earthy smell. The floor is covered in a layer of straw.

The window straight ahead at the end of the room has a wooden balcony, and the word "[I]Thither[/I]" scrawled above it.
