Heinrich:
Heinrich takes a turn on an oar, after he secures his gear appropriately for a sea journey, taking special care of his bow and bowstrings. While the orcs are rowing, he'll walk over to Balthazar, rubbing his hands together, and ask, "Now that's a good trick. What do we expect to find at this library? Whose errands are we running? I'm glad to make some friends to get moving from where we were, but am unclear on how things run here."
OOC: Just starting here to avoid confusing myself with two threads (I feel really old lately). Heinrich would definitely enjoy the magic armor.
"Miroslav, show our new friend the treasure map."
Balthazar waits for Miroslav to roll out the map, then says,
"A while back, we attained a nifty magic item called the Deck of Many Things. I think we might still have it? Anyway, Miroslav gained a treasure map as his boon, and here it is."
(Copied from when we first saw it)
Miroslav unrolls the vellum carefully due to it's great age and frailty. It is a map of the eastern shore of the Euxine Sea, the area known as Colchis and the city of Dioskurias. There is an inset map that shows the city closer, or better put the ruins of a city. A tower near the docks is highlighted. There is a script at the bottom of the map in a very archaic dialect of Greek.
Balthazar adds,
"That script reads 'The great library lies beneath the tower of Dioskurios. The key can be found in the possession of Phasis. Without the key the library will turn to dust.' So we have the key, and now we are ready to roll. I don't have a clue as to what is contained in the library. I'm hoping spell books. But maybe it contains answers to the ancient mysteries of the world, like who built the Pyramids and where do the vast oceans lead."
