Why do hiers, at level, fail INT and search tests? I've never used hiers before but am running a barb at the moment and need something with INT to open the rune in Lost Tome. I bought a rogue, didn't work, bought a wizard, nothing. WTF!
First of all which Rogue and Wizard hires did you use?
Lost Tome Int Rune requirement is only 13 or 14 so there shouldn't be a single Rogue or Wiz hire in the game that can't get them.
Secondly there is a bug with hires where sometimes you have to get them to be right in front of the rune to have them use it {2 feet away and they'll just stand there looking at you.}.
Thirdly those Runes are situated in a position where it's possible for the hire to be hit by the lightning and distracted.
Honestly though - You don't even need Int to run Lost Tome in the first place - Just use the sides {by the runes} to avoid the lightning.
It's not like you need the optional xp or chest from the side room at the end either.
