Fairly standard.

You arrive at the library. You see shelves of dusty books.

"Those identify you as guild members. Here's a map of the building. Good day."

"Thank you"

Off to the library with me

I start going about the process to find as much as I can about the Fael, and lost branches of magic as I possibly can.

I assist him in his search

vI start going about the process to find as much as I can about the Fael, and lost branches of magic as I possibly can.

The library dosn't contain anything on that subject that you don't allready know. Except it fills in a few importnat details.........

1) The gems that contain the souls of the fael are currently stored in a vault in the capital of the sun-elven empire.

2) Nothing is known about their magic, simply because very few who faught a mage that used it has every survived, and this was a long time ago. But it's rumured to be related to transfiguration or bardic song.

3) About a century ago, an attempt was made to steal those soul-gems by some drow. The attempt failed.

It's been a few hours, a few more might reveal more info.

Spark has spend this time studying rituralized magic.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-11 02:37pm

We continue searching I suppose

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-11 02:41pm

I keep searching, and ask Spark if he could help us by scrying for a source of INfo we haven't found. BTW, is there a Man turned Orangutang roaming around here as the librarian, or do we have to do everything manually?

There is a librarian, and the books are organizied alphabeticly by subject.

Spark isn't there, the librarian says he left, just after asking one of the scribes of copy a page from one of the books for him. You also owe the scribe 5 silver.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-11 02:52pm

I pay the scribe 5 silver.

I then go and look through the spell book library.

I then go and look through the spell book library.

You enter the spellbook library, and start drooling.

You can find a spellbook with everyspell listed in the PH and/or Tome and Blood recorded inside. They are also all written in the same style, so you don't have to figure out the mages writeing with every spell.

::mutters::

I send Quoth out to see what Spark is doing, and then Igo to the spell library and copy out all the cantrips, arcane eye, detect scrying, sepia snake sigil, and any of the base stat modifiers I may have missed (fox's cunning, owl's wisdom, etc.)

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-11 03:05pm

According to page 155 of the players handbook, copying a spell from another spellbook takes the entire day. It also costs 100gp per page.

In other words, you may each copy ONE spell, and it'll cost you.

Quoth can't find spark, it's a big guild, and no one knows where spark went.

and then Igo to the spell library and copy out all the cantrips, arcane eye, detect scrying, sepia snake sigil, and any of the base stat modifiers I may have missed (fox's cunning, owl's wisdom, etc.)

See my above post about pg 155.

I pick my jaw up off the floor, take out my inks, pens, and spellbook, and go crazy.

Ok, it's getting dark by the time you finish.

Back BEFORE it started getting dark, what does everyone else do?

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-11 03:27pm

I'll take Arcane eye thank you very much.

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-11 03:29pm

Once the spells are done beng copied...

"Hey Robgea, you up for a friendly mage duel?"

Straha · Post by **Straha** » 2004-01-11 03:31pm

"Rain check for me, after we deal with the Fael, we'll deul. Now where the hell did spark get to?"

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-11 03:37pm

"Hmm... where did that cat get to?"

"where did you get off to?"

lazerus · Post by **lazerus** » 2004-01-11 04:06pm

"Realms unknown were I fought many strange and dangerous clams. Or I could have stepped outside for some food and then gone and practiced scrying in one of the labs."

Post by **Alyrium Denryle** » 2004-01-11 04:07pm

"I see... I trust the food was good?"
