2021/06/23: Cubit - Knowledge Is Part 2 Report
General Summary
Knight, Sith, Immori, Ba’alzamon, Keel, Dragoth
In the second room of "Knowledge is", the party found themselves exploring Dust’s Great Library. It’s a giant library full of ghosts. Towards the middle, there was a hostile spirit of some sort that was looking at them hungrily.
The party determined that to pass the room, they needed to fuel the lamps and replace and light the candles. The spirit thing was a knowledge demon that had formed once the library hit a critical mass of size. The library was originally created by an archmage who wanted to create the greatest library in the world, but once it got large enough, additions started adding themselves, and then the demon appeared.
While the party was exploring a tall room and a few of them were lighting candles near the ceiling, they heard a high-pitched feminine scream echo through the bookcases. There was some quick debate: Was this a trap by the demon? Probably. But what if it was a real person, lost and in danger? Could they leave whoever it was to their fate?
Finally, Knight grudgingly agreed to go, as they had the best chance of dodging out of whatever trap it probably was. Instead of a trap, though, they were greeted by a bright flash, the retreating sounds of an angry demon, and a lightly eroded library room occupied by a scared and bewildered little mage girl.
It turned out that Ios, the young mage for whom Keel served as a familiar, had been "called" from class in the mage academy she attended in Vetrakus. Apparently danger was incoming and the headmaster believed she'd be safer wherever Keel was. The party looked around at the hostile library and concluded that they weren't sure about that, but at least now that she was with the group they could keep her relatively protected.
Lighting the candles and lamps took some time, but the demon never managed to fully manifest or properly strike the adventurers. In the end, it was successfully suppressed, and the party was rewarded with a cache of magic books and the door to the next stage.
Rewards Granted
Knight found a book called Voices of the Void, which is a whole tome related to Void magic. Keel found Advanced Literacy for Dummies. Ios found Elemental Mastery for Fun and Profit. Sith found Necromancy Is Easy. The others found books as well, but their titles are not recorded in these notes.
