Session 68: Jandar Is Just as Hung as Zirk

General Summary

The session began on BranchForth 15, 2597 in the Alumni House/Suite at Lorehold College. After waking up from the rager the night before, the party made their way to the entrance of the library on the chilly morning on the cliffface. The walked through the large recieving tunnel to the entrance kiosks where a red tiefling verified Atticus' admitance to the first and second vaults while the party could go with him to the first as his guests. To gain further access, everyone would need to pass tests along the way. The party went down the grand staircase to see the massiveness of the library. The shelves were six stories talls and 400 feet long, wrapping around all four sides of a large rectangular structure. Opposite of the entrance, the members of Joint Operations LLC (minus Atticus) took the logic exam and gained admitance to the second vault. From here they continued through increasingly smaller, sparsely populated vaults where the scribes turned from humanoids into inverted ziggaraut headed-folks. To gain entrance to the 3rd vault they had to answer a question about morality which actually was about making sure snap judgements were not made. For the fourth vault a question was needing to be answered about the nature of magic (which the party eventually managed in part). The fifth vault's test tested the constituion of one's knowledge. The fifth vault itself was located on the ethereal plane and had books traveling around in the ether. Atticus found a fable about a miller's son (Johnathon) and the maidservant of a noble's daughter when looking for a foreward or an introduction/beginning of a book, Kale found a book about the doom in our stars when looking for information about the invasion, Atticus found a book about the Altar of the Titans by Johnathon the II when looking for a title and author. Wren and Tork even found some outlandish things as well!

Eventually the group made their way to the 6th vault's test that involved all the previous tests put together and gained entrance to a cozy sitting room with the chief scribe (another inverted zigguart headed-fellow). He attempted to find the book on making and unmaking dieties as well as the altar of the titans, but unfortunately it had been checked out 20 years ago. By a certain Charles Atticus Fitzgerald. Atticus revealed this could possibly be his benefactor or one of those named his name before him... The chief scribe told how it was checked out under his predecessor (who he killed as was the way of the library) and couldn't offer any more information on who checked it out.

The party decided then to get the body of the previous chief scribe and speak with it. They asked it the following:

Q: Do you remember the day CAF came in and checked out a book on how to make/unmake an diety. A: I do remember

Q: Describe CAF. A: He was a burly man

Q: Do you miss being the grandscribe? A: Yes, I miss the knowledge.

Q: Do you want anything done with your remains? A: No, its kind of funny being in here.

Q: Tennayo, will you go back to sleep again? A: Yes...

With this information, the party left the library and returned to sunlight late in the afternoon on BranchForth 15, 2597. Perhaps armed with more questions than answers.
