Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Adept Yisslitheniss (msg # 339):

a book bound in pale leather with a tattooed cover appears to be a historical text written in lizardscript.

to Gareth, where are you getting a stone? You do note that the automotons are not harmed by the spot in question.

Haveron is lookina at the Military History texts with interest.

Berry, make a search or research roll


Amelia, there are some good Atlases, and two volumes of Heraldry, one in Aralaise,  and one in Valdassyan.

"I'd really, really like books that most suitable for the studious to further their knowledge. I was thinking of annotated map collections and, as a change of topic, heraldry, you know, coats of arms, noble and knightly histories, that sort of thing." She looks inquisitively at Safwan. "I have no idea if you can appreciate other people's appreciation, but I do appreciate your help: so thank you!" She gives him a small curtsy while watching for any sign of recognition, reaction or mild surprise..

Safwan shows you the appropriate sections and Amelia those she requested. Safwan merely grunts at Amelia's courteous gesture.

"These look really good. Am I allowed to take some? Any idea how long some of these have been here? Are there any maps of the tower?" she asks enthusiatically.

Re: The Black Tower

She examines some of the books, looking for anything akin to a map of the tower as well as setting aside a pair of atlases and a pair of heraldry books.

If no stones are readily available, he will use a nearly-spent torch.

"Do you have any books with magic spells around here?" he asks the local.

Re: The Black Tower

He looks at the tattooed leather, to Identify what sort of skin it might be... then looks through the book, before starting to read it.

"Safwan doesn't know whether the master is dead; he went away a long time ago. In either case the [grunt] prohibited books must remain safe, and his creations and wards will ensure they do. Come now, there is much to learn right in this room."

there are no maps of the tower in this room.

Adept, that leather looks like it might be from one of the scaleless people, rather than from a fourlegged creature.

OOC: I'm waiting on the narrator to give me details about the master of the Black Tower. Then I have to decide how much to share with a bunch of murderous home invaders who are only keeping me alive to pump me for information...

Re: The Black Tower

In reply to Narrator (msg # 362):

OOC: I think posting it here somewhat undermines the idea of privacy... OK, private messages do work...

Safwan tells Gareth the master of the tower wears a blue robe, a sigil ring, and a pendant.

GM: Any more complete description of the ring? If not, Safwan will say it's an image of the tower inside a pentagram just as appears on the inside cover label of the master's books.
