Aircraft
While climbing through FL210 to FL220 we noticed the number 2 engine ITT (Inter Turbine Temperature) rising. We stopped our climb and asked ATC for FL200. While descending to FL200 the right engine VIB (Vibration) icon appeared. Our FA (Flight Attendant) called up and asked what was going on; I told him; 'we are working on a problem and will be landing soon. I do not have a time at the moment.' We reduced the thrust to near or at idle. I told ATC that we were having engine problems. ATC gave us a lower altitude. Then we received a FWD and AFT LAV Smoke warning messages. We smelled smoke. We decided to switch controls from FO (First Officer) flying to CA (Captain) flying. The FO ran the R Engine Oil abnormal procedure checklist. It was the only EICAS message that was most prevalent at the time; other than the FWD and AFT LAV smoke messages. We decided to secure the engine first then assess the LAV situations. After the engine was secured; the LAV smoke messages went away. I told the passengers that we will be landing soon and that we had multiple problems with the aircraft. The FO did notify the FA's that we would be emergency landing in 10 minutes. We ran the single engine procedures checklist and then the descent checklist and the landing checklist appropriately. The landing was uneventful and we taxied to the gate after CFR (Crash/Fire/Rescue) checked us out; and deplaned the passengers. I debriefed the crew and then called Dispatch; Maintenance and our Chief Pilot.
