0002 - Uctlil Pleasure District (Day 1)
In reply to Valaric Gryphon (msg # 58):
You try doing whatever you tried to do with the third and fourth book, but there is no twitch or any sign you expected.
After you pick the bone covered book, the rest of the guards pick the other books and begin to page through them for inspection.
You understand some of the contents of the book as it is written in magic, and it appears to possess magical script explaining the principles behind the spells "Detect Magic", "Comprehend Languages" and "Color Spray". Three other chapters with longer explanatory text and strange magic circles, but you are certain that it is too advanced for you to understand for now. The most you can get out of one of the three chapters is that one of the diagrams has a very odd diagram describing a dissected spider.
After you are done looking through the volume, the rest of the guards appear to be done as well.
"Well? You like the book? I wouldn't recommend reading this one, its far too advanced, even for me," Swaminathan shows the very thick tome and puts it in his back basket.
"This one is filled with nonsense - I have no idea why they even want to archive this," Chettur holds up the very thin booklet and shakes his head and then stuffs it in the back of his belt.
"This one is pretty understandable, but its pretty beginner friendly. It even has a chapter written in Trade Tongue about how to Read Magic, and even a spell that is said to be able to Preserve the Art of Crab-men.... Ha ha! Can Crab-men even draw to begin with?" Surya laughs as he too puts the book in his back basket.
"Now if you want you can look at the rest when we're back its fine too, so get ready to set off Valaric," Swaminathan speaks.
