Search the library for useful items. Criteria: Survival, beginner magic, Amulet/Elements related, Everfree related.

You head back up and look through the book titles. There are some history books related to this place, and some fiction related to hunting and fishing. You give them all a quick skim and note down anything useful for the future. There are some mentions of the Amulet of Peace, supposedly it's hidden in a monastery behind a variety of traps, puzzles, and more.

[Skill: Survival has increased to 2.]

You also find some books related to magic, both simple and advanced. You take them with you, to read on the go rather than stay here forever. One, however, catches your eye. It describes how to use the Firebolt spell. You try to use it, but a wild error message appears.

[Error: Insufficient skill in Arcana and Condensation.]

[Skill: Firebolt has increased to 1.]

That's quite all right with you, though. If it had worked, you might have burned the whole library, along with all that information. Burning books is a crime. (Using them as toilet paper if they're really bad is okay, though.)

check to see if there are any particularly large useless books around the size of a cinder block, if so keep for later use with the idea of binding it and forming it into some sort of sledge or bludgeoning weapon, plausibly a staff for the sheer asthetics

You find a large tome called "Understanding Women Vol. I" and bring it with you. That'll be one hell of a weapon.

check for any books on animal anatomy, knowledge of vitals may help in confrontation to defeat the 'mobs'

You find a few books on the anatomy of canines, felines, equines, and bovines. You can't find anything about any other animals you may encounter. You do, however, think you can fight some more effectively, seeing as the anatomy of the quadrupeds seems pretty similar.

clean prior wound, rebandage or bandage

You clean your wound with some water and iodine, before applying some bandages.

find a leather bound book, scavenge leather

There are no leather bound books to be found. You'll settle for skinning an animal later.

check for secret doors in room

*roll* 20

There is a secret passage here. How cliché.

It leads to a smaller library. It looks to have been some archmage's office at some point. There are advanced books on all kinds of magic. You grab some of the books with promising titles and move on. You also find and obtain a bag of potion ingredients.

Head back to the area with the three hallways. Refresh the signs so the next future-self can read them.

You head back down the stairs. At one point, you stumble and almost fall, but you manage to catch yourself in time.

Reaching the bottom of the stairs, you walk over to the signs. You don't have any tools with which to refresh them, but if you find anything in the sleeping quarters (as you figured out is to the right), you'll be back here to do so.

Head into the sleeping quarters.

You climb the stairs to the sleeping quarters. All this stair-climbing is really exhausting, but you'll live. You ponder for a moment whether there are any inhabitants that will take any offense to you having smoked inside earlier, but you put it aside as it really doesn't matter.

There are two doorways here, though the doors have long since rotted away. The two rooms are almost identical, containing the remnants of many bunk beds. You imagine this was the sleeping quarters of the servants of the castle or possibly it's guard. There isn't much to do in here, but it would probably be safer than sleeping in the forest, and there are no books here that would burn if you light a fire.

check to see if help has any offering on the difference between stats and skills

Going through the information in your head, you find no noteworthy differences.

attempt to slide the scissors into the boar tusk's center to part it into to piece of identical tusk

The scissors slip and hit your finger. You're glad these aren't the stabby kind.

What do you do?
