Speak-n-Spellz
I guess it'll just be easier if I roll the spells, since I've got a list and you don't. I'll use the number of spells you gave, plus Read/Detect Magic. Here ya go:
The Spellbook of Rupert Belvedere
First Circle: Charm Person, Dancing Lights, Detect Magic, Enlarge, Hold Portal, Light, Nystul's Magic Aura, Read Magic
Second Circle: ESP, Leomund's Trap, Scare
Third Circle: Infravision, Tongues
Seriously, I rolled up all those gems randomly. The only spell worth describing is Scare, which affects one dude, saving throw negates, and for 3d4 rounds, it trembles and won't attack unless cornered. Of course, anybody who's 7th level/7 HD or higher is totally immune.
Good luck brave wizzard@!
...
Az, plate mail, nice shield, and staff taken. In answer to your question, Ezekiel says:
"Hell if I know. Sorry pal, I'm stuck here until somebody kills me. Gods operate on a totally different timescale than you mortals, so I wouldn't worry about a thing."
...
Guys, go ahead and rest a night for spellcasters to regain spells. Threnody, remember that you actually need to roll to learn all those spells, 75% chance per spell. Let's just say you all hang out here until Thren tries to learn all those spells... many days go by. You can fish and Purify sea Water as necessary.
Threnody, you're 4/4 ftr mage. Your xp: 9901 / 10891 xp

Okay, here's the results of exploration...
1) The tower is as before. I don't want to retype all that shit, so if you forgot what's here, do a blog search. Sorry but I'm lazy. The place is looking surprisingly old and weather-beaten since last you've been here, and all the scaffolding and construction work is gone.
The sea is stormy... no boats in sight. During your time here, the storm never lets up. You kinda miss the sun.
2) The Weather Monitoring computer seems to be turned off. You have trouble restarting it, but eventually find a backup generator and reboot the damn thing.
It asks you again to enter a username and password. Helpfully, your friend Thaka types something in. You then get the following screen:
Thank you Mr. Huxley.

You may need to reboot Server 'Calliope' in Substation B.
Starting in Safe Mode...
There is limited functionality in Safe Mode. The computer clock again seems screwed up.
3) The sub is right there and looking good. Well, actually, it's pretty beat up and totally stripped... no stereo, no laser cannon, in fact all you've got is AutoNav, a periscope, and a quarter tank of gas. Pretty easy to drive though... looks like someone customized it and there's just a giant trackball to move around with, and four buttons for rise, dive, accelerate, stop.
Nothing else of interest in the sub, except some more food and three bottles of Negra Modelo.
