"Right. I also mistrust it, but he has not attacked us. For now. Shall we continue?"

Gareth looks to continue his search for ...whatever.

If you choose to follow, Safwan may allow you to peruse the library. If you don't behave with hostility, Safwan may even act as a guide inside the tower for a time...

Gareth is open to having a guide. He is just not sure whether his offer of help is genuine, or whether he can be trusted. There is also concern about group dynamics...

Listening to the murmuring quintet with interest, Safwan exits and starts to slide the door back into place. Bad mojo, indeed, Safwan thinks after hearing the last comment in the native tongue.

"He seems pretty normal to me. Well, he's not human and he's a lax when it comes to- But that's a good thing! Also he said books?"


Berry notices the creature leaving and dashes over.

"Wait for me! I like books! Also, quick and easy paths to power."

Safwan is pleased to share [grunt] knowledge with one so eager. "Knowledge is power," so read fast would be [grunt] the quickest way, Safwan guesses.

Having already been accused of being divisive, Gareth looks to the rest of the group.

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Var (msg # 326):

Safwan crosses the hall avoiding one of the master's servants with a club ready chasing a rat. "They keep the [grunt] alimaƱas at bay." Another sliding door reveals a medium room crowded with bookshelves and a writing desk. The room is very clean, though it looks like some of the shelves have had books removed. "Safwan shares this [grunt] knowledge with you freely, but you mustn't take any of the master's books from this room."

Gareth looks through the room.

"Tell us more about the master..." as he glances across the shelves to see the range of book, looking for magic ones.

Re: The Black Tower

Berry will also wander, looking for books. Not being able to take the books makes things trickier. If she finds something good, maybe Var can manage.

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Berry (msg # 335):

thebooks look to be of good quality, and as far as you can guess by the titles, the section on Thaumatology is missing, although there are one or two occult titles.

the books are a mix of Valdassyan and Aralaise, witha few in Elvish, Latin, and Greek. There are books on herbs "Herbology", architecture "Confabulum Construtori", natural philosophy "A booke of Beasties" and a gemreat many others, nearly a hundred... even for ordinary topics, these are worth $50-$400 each...

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Narrator (msg # 336):

as you are looking at the books, a wall panel slides open and a wooden construct that is part feather duster part broom steps out, and begins dusting the shelves, and then sweeping the dust.
a much smaller one sweeps the pile toward a diagram etched onto the floor, where the dust disappears.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 337):

So, no new spells? Of course the Thaumatology section is missing...Gareth will spend as long as he can there.

When the cleaners come out, Gareth watches it closely, looking at the spot where stuff disappears. He will find something useless to put there to test it...a stone or similar.

The Adept looks for books that might be of interest to him on religeon, two handed sword fighting and anything written in his language.
