In reply to Safwan (msg # 363):

Does Gareth know anything about him?

Amellia looks up from the books, "Are we going to go any further today? Or shall I take my shoes off and settle down to read these good books?"

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 367):

whoever it is, they were not known 400 years ago when Gareth was about.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 368):

That is something in and of itself.

"I suggest we keep looking around before continuing on. We do not know who might wander in and disturb us, violently.

Thing...what was your name again? You really do not know anything about the guy that created you?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 369):

"The master taught Safwan many things, but kept himself a mystery until the day he left."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 370):

"Oh, yes. Safwan. I will try to remember that. How can you know so little about someone?"

In reply to Safwan (msg # 370):

Amelia looks up from her book, multitasking as usual, asks ,"How many day since he left? And, apart from him leaving, were there any unusual events or messages at or a short while before that time?"

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 372):

you are not entirely certain as to how time might be marked by someone who doesn't sleep and exists underground.


Gareth, make a Thaumatology or hidden lore magic items roll.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 373):

Gareth is familiar with Magic though...

[Private to GM: Rolled 10 under Thaeumatogy, with Magery, as per the skill.]

In reply to Gareth (msg # 374):

programable entities like constructs are often incapable of articulating things they have not been specifically commanded not to disclose,  and no amount of questioning can help that one bit.

Amelia takes her left shoe off and massages her foot, still reading the book. Looks like she's getting ready to spend some hours here.

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 376):

He thinks for a bit.

"Have you been commanded not to tell anything about him, or can you not answer that question either? Perhaps show me his favourite section instead..."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 377):

"The master loves all his books the same. They are like his [grunt] hijos. Safwan can say nothing more about the master."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 378):

"Right. What books did he write in?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 379):

"Safwan is not sure if the master defaced any of his hijos in such a way. You may peruse the collection and see if there are any such markings."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 380):

"Well, can you guide me then. What books are here?"

In reply to Gareth (msg # 381):

"Thou can thyself see the large collection. Walk in any direction and thou will find a [grunt] very interesting subject."

In reply to Safwan (msg # 382):

"Were you programmed to be as unhelpful as possible? Where are the sections of fire magic, or necromancy, for example?"

Gareth, He hasss ssssaid there isss no magic bookssss here.

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 384):

"Not all such books are magic...there is a lot of lore regarding them as well."

In reply to Gareth (msg # 385):

Amelia starts on chapter 2, then says over the top of the book, "Library chairs aren't he most comfortable. I'm getting a flattened posterior. Can we move along and actually do something soon? Please?"

In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 386):

It would appear that anything to do with magic, occult sciences. or Thaumatology have been removed from the shelves.

The chairs are actually fairly comfortable.




occ too many folks posting in blue. Could Amelia use pink, or another color

In reply to Gareth (msg # 383):

"Safwan is helpful to the master. Safwan is a companion and lab assistant, not a [grunt] librarian."

Berry manages some effort as she looks through the books. It is slow. I'm all for stopping for the day to read books.
Berry makes a research roll
00:31, Today: Berry rolled 13 using 3d6.  Research-13.
MoS=0

In reply to Berry (msg # 389):

speed reading would help find marginal notes or the like.  what kind of books was berry perusing?
