Wadi shrugs and puts the book back where he found it. "I don't think carrying this book around will be a wise decision at this point. We will need to be able to see the Fox in order to catch him methinks. We will have to return later for the book."

As Archon attempts to read the book out loud, a clamorous noise arises from the book of 40 people shrieking incoherently. This effect only lasts while he is speaking while either reading the book or even carrying the book. When he stops speaking, the noise stops.

When reading silently and carefully, Archon slowly realizes that the book contains a number of subjects that seem primarily of interest to Drow, including forms of address and etiquette, holiday festivals, a guide to obeisances and letter writing, some demonology rituals, and other magical notations. This takes a while to sort out because the language the book is written in is intentionally formal and obscure.

As all of you experiment with the bookmark on some of the other genealogy books, you discover that each book apparently transforms into something else while the bookmark in place. Each text that he tries it in transforms into something different:

  • The Big Book of Giant Etiquette. One sentence: "Bash first!" and 450 blank pages;
  • Obsess for Success: A Gnome's Guide to Professional Advancement. It's written in gnome with advice like "Sleep, sex and regular meals are all optional for a true artist in the midst of creation frenzy..."
  • 450 Uses for Caltrops: This one is fully illustrated, like a coffee table book. "Use 331: Christmas Tree stands. Use 332: Potato Roasters!"
  • Just Admit You're Wrong: A Practical Guide to Wooing Keleshite Women: "When in doubt, 'Yes, Dear' is your go-to phrase..."

Each book returns to its original state when the bookmark is removed. The bookmark, when reinserted into the Blakros History, becomes the detailed guide to badger leash laws once again. Pull it out, and it returns to its original state.

When inserted into the book within the sphere of darkness, the darkness goes away, and you are all holding a book written in common: Terell's Definitive Guide to Diseases of the Turtle. Among the titles that catch your eye are "Chapter 19: Delousing your turtle" and "Chapter 23: Eye pus and you."

You get the sense that the bookmark was created by someone with a sense of humor.

You pull the bookmark out again and you are once again in a 15 foot sphere of darkness. As you examine the book, you note that it is bound in a weird grey leather that is creepy to the feel.

After seeing that last one, "Oh, I think I get it. It makes whatever book it's entered into only speak, or write in this case, the truth, and unlocks the highest forms of wisdom on the subject. Anyone have any superglue. I think this last book, "When in doubt. . .", deserves to have it's literary voice as available to the world as possible."

:P

I'm not sure we make it past that point.

Book later okay with Jan, question though what happens if book is in space like handy haversack. I no have one to try, maybe darkness go away make it easy to carry and mean Fox-man can't get it.

While we're here I'll hand Wadi a platinum ring and cast Shield Other and I'm not going to worry too much about Shield of Faith down here, I'll count on Desna to protect me when needed.

"I'll just carry it. I have a sack that's waterproof, and this is clearly something that Shaine would want kept safe. I don't think it has much to do with the "Fox". Doesn't really fit the same theme."

plus completely covering it should contain the darkness, too.


"Doom Girl" // ♫ // ◇ ◈ ↺ // PbP Events // // PbP GM Kit // Year of Fortune's Fall // DA Duology Maps

Covering it contains the darkness, but every time Archon speaks, the clamor of 40 voices shrieking incoherently rises again from the book.

Jan and Wadi:
Are you agreeing to Archon's plan of returning the book to Kreighton Shaine?

GM/Wadi:
NO, was hoping Wadi had a handy haversack (I honestly can't remember if this helps) as it appears I do not. If not I'll happily end up offering to carry the book so Archon can cast more easily, since even if I lose my casting I still hit things with a shield and have bodyguard. I was mostly leaving an opportunity for Wadi to speak up, since I know what's going on.

I'll try to place it into my Bag of Holding, but if that doesn't silence the noise, we can leave it here. "Are we sure that's not exactly what we want to do, keep the trickster from being able to trick us?"

The half orc grunts and shrugs - "I am not sure to whom this should be returned - I'll leave it up to you, but Shaine seems the obvious recipient" - the massive warrior turns the book around in his hands - "Diseases of the Turtle" - he chuckles - "At least it is not screaming at us every time we open it"

You conclude your experiments with the book and the bookmark. Having fully explored both the Cartographium and the Heritage Stacks on the East Wing of the understacks, you conclude that it's time to begin your explorations of the West Wing.

But before you get there...

You look up at the stairwell in the central room of the understacks and realize that water is once again pouring down the stairs. It had stopped for a while. Now, it's pouring once again.

What do you do?

"I bet 5 gold she has forgotten all about the deal with us" - the half orc shrugs as they notice the water pouring again - "We should remind her" - he adds, moving for the stairs.

You trudge up the stairs through the shower of water. At the top is Mistress Koi, once again spewing a stream of water in an almost meditative state.

When she notices you, she blinks and stops spewing water for a moment.

"Have we met?" She asks in Sylvan. "I can't remember."

"We have indeed met Mistress Koi. I am Oloch Firebrand." - Oloch nods, an eyebrow risen impossibly high - "Not only that, we had agreed to assist you in catching the slippery fox you intend to" - he continues - "However, and since we are not aquatic creatures by nature, you had agreed to stop the water flow, lest we be unable to continue our search"

"Please do, Mistress Koi. Don't start again until we've come back. Here, let me give you this rope. When you'll look at it, you'll remember me. Noble blazing charming ifrit. Is that ok?" says the oracle, indeed handing the fey a rope.

"Ropes symbolize ifrits?" Mistress Koi holds the rope with a tentacle. "I did not know this. Wait until I tell the fey riddler about this..."

Taking your leave of Mistress Koi, you descend once again down the spiral staircase towards the understacks and begin your travels of the West Wing. Checking the map on the wall, you find yourself outside the Dictionarium. The door to this chamber bears a simple lock.

Continuing your exploration of the Western Wing, you find the Taxidermy Storage room. The door is closed, but the lock appears to have already been jiggered open. There's also a calling card of sorts: a fey scroll fragment, pinned to the door's exterior with a dagger.

Scroll Fragment:
G ormandelle, the lady gorger
Dined on beans and bones and ordure,
Lost her teeth so took her daughters',
Then went wading to make water.
When Sir Crocodile attacked,
Used his teeth to bite him back.

Detect magic reveals that the scroll fragment once had conjuration magic, now expended.

Although the door is not locked, the waist-deep water presses in on both sides. If you want to force it open, I will need a strength check.

Also, do let me know if anyone decides to don the cloak.

Archon turns into a manta ray, with better natural armor, the ability to breathe water and a 60 foot swim speed.

Already leaning his weight against the door, Oloch stares as Archon turns into a manta ray - "What the..? He dons magical cloaks just like that?" - the pragmatic half-orc sounds incredulous - "Why would anyone do that?"

Strength: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (17) + 4 = 21

I went for the basics on that scroll fragment, and tried to piece the capitals together but... No go :D

A few bubbles begin to come up from the water, each one releasing a tiny bit of sound as they hit the surface and pop.

In spite of the effort, the half orc first raises an eyebrow, then bursts into laughter - "I say you've passed, oh Archon, the Manta Ray"

Wadi smiles, "Well, that will certainly come in handy especially if the Fox is nearby. You will never see me try that same stunt! I have heard of a cursed cloak will instantly slay you should you don it! Glad to see you didn't find that one!" He eyes the door as Oloch pushes the door open and readies for anything.

I'll play around with the cloak a bit, exalting in the new form's ability to swim, and then attempt to remove the cloak and return to my normal form.

"That was fun. Anyone else want to give it a try?"
