[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8250182, member: 59816"] The avowed acknowledged that the book that Hawthorne had brought them was very valuable to them indeed; the consortium had done its research, and had been very fortunate to have acquired it. When Agenti stepped up, they could not hide their astonishment. This book was something else entirely. It was a unique book, written by an extraplanar being. Without proper time for study, it's value was difficult to quantify. Copying it would be costly and require their most skilled scribes. The group of five dithered, debating among themselves until Hawthorne grew bored and cleared his throat. One stepped forward, nodded and told Argenti, [b]"This gift is acceptable. You are allowed entry for a time that will be determined by the Keeper of Tomes - your guide will let you know. The book will be returned to you before you leave; but you must stay until we have had time to produce a reasonable facsimile."[/b] To conclude, the avowed told them, [b]"We bid you welcome to Candlekeep! An adjutant guide will be assigned to each of you and will find you within the hour. May you find what you Seek."[/b] They moved aside and Hawthorne and Argenti walked through the towering black metal gate. A wide open-air courtyard stretched before them. Seekers and their Avowed guides came and went across its cobblestone expanse between cylindrical towers on the north side and a series of buildings to the south. From the gatehouse, on the left and traveling clockwise, were a bathhouse; a smithy and stables; a temple; a large granary; a three-story inn; a humble tavern; and a long building that appeared to be some kind of cloister or work-house. Directly across the courtyard was another high wall, beyond which were the towers of the inner ward. Inset in the wall was a large emerald-green door that softly glowed with its own light. Continuing clockwise from the north-west end of the court, a small cluster of shops. Then there were the cylindrical towers, which varied in height along the north side all the way to the right of the gates. Outside, Broun shook his head in wonder - it was not his sort of place at all. He tucked down his hat to keep the wind from stealing it away. Then he clicked at the horses and he empty coach rolled down the Way of the Lion, beginning the long journey back to Baldur's Gate. [/QUOTE]
