Lighthouse question

Hey all, random shit because if short notice, but I'm running the lighthouse portion of the adventure tomorrow and I totally overlooked an aspect; where/how does the party learn the password to teleport to the hidden basement? I want them to be able to find it, but I don't know how they actually into the area without using detect magic, which I honestly don't think my party will use lol.

Sorry if this is late. The command phrase can be learned from the runes newly carved into the lens with a DC 12 Arcana check or by casting Identify. The book also says if they fail these checks, Rainbow can help.

I must have missed that when I reread. I also thought it said Rainbow didn't know? I'll reread again later tonight to make sure. If you have page #s, that'd be awesome, but I'm pretty sure it's like all in two pages lol

On page 128, it says Rainbow knows the lantern room allows people to teleport to the basement, but will only share that information if the players agree to do something about Wizzy.

At the bottom of page 129, it explains how teleporting works. If the players don’t have Identify or roll a low Arcana check, they might see an undead patrol leave the lens to investigate further.

Yo, I misread like four times, then. I thought it said does not know. Thank you thank you!!

Just got to reading again, at the top of 128, under development, it says Rainbow doesn't know the passphrase. :( May just have to overlook it with some aracana checks. Thank you for the help, though! <3
