Theo went... right!

The door swung open to reveal winding stairs, up into the library.

"Stay low, keep quiet." Theo instructed, before stepping as quietly as he could up the stairs.

Voices soon hit their ears.

The first was croaky and sounded amused, like the speaker new something no one else did. "Come on, Mr. Librarian.  Just tell us where the notes are, no one has to get hurt."

The next voice was shaky, frightened. Terrified. "Y-you... you killed them all... didn't you."

"I really, really didn't want to.  But I needed to talk to you oh so much.  This is very important.  Come on... you can tell me." The first speaker coaxed, his sympathy painfully faux.

"I'm not telling you anything!" The second speaker bawled.

The first speaker sighed, and footsteps could be heard. Theo peaked around he corner. Sure enough, a man in black robes was standing in the center of the library, above a Breton sparwled on his butt. Several assassins in black leather armor were positions around the library, but no one had spotted the group yet.

"You see, Mr. Librarion, I am a simple man, of simple tastes.  I enjoy violence, and knives, and," he raised his voice, "oil."

On cue, an assassin stepped forward from his position along the outerrim of the room, bearing a water skin. He began pooring it's contents on the books.

"N-no!" The librarian cried, surging forward, trying to stop the gasoline-wielding assassin. "What are you doing?!"

The first speaker, a seemingly Nord man of average height, whipped out his dagger in a flash, and had it's point under the librarian's chin even kicked.

"Ah-ta-ta-ta-ta." He said mockingly, his voice rising with each 'ta.'  "You know what they have in common?" The first speaker asked, now the obvious leader.

The assassins hooked the point of his dagger underneath the librarian's chinbone, forcing their face's close.

"They're cheap." The assassin growled in the Breton's face.

Gasoline-Assassin set the books alight with arcane fire and very quickly there was a blaze. One assassin turned away from the fire, to look back at the entrance to the library, and Theo was spotted immediately.

"Intruders!" The assassin yelled, calling his brothers and sisters to arms.
