[QUOTE="Rae ArdGaoth, post: 4733895, member: 21064"] Tommy sits down with the many books collected throughout the day arrayed in a semi-circle around him. Fimble stands nearby, the book of maps in his hands. Setting the helmet firmly on his head, Tommy requests the spell. With all of the resources you could possible collect at his fingertips, he starts to read. After coming to some silly conclusions (and being quickly set straight by Tarag), Tommy realizes the book is meant to be read backwards. Starting from the back of the book and working forwards, patterns begin to make sense, and before too long, you can make out some phrases. Using the book of maps in synergy with the books at hand, you match up some characters and it all starts coming together. The spell wears off, but the damage is done, and the book spills its secrets. In the end, it's a few key words and phrases from the that unlock code the book, and the gist at least is clear. Urton, if that's who wrote this book, was up to no good, and has collected a stunning amount of secrets about the secret infrastructure of Fallon and other nearby cities. Passages from the Orussian sewers up into the library, caverns and crevices in the lower levels of Fallon leading beneath the bottom of the crater, and other convenient bits of information. Most notable is the detailing of a passage leading from Urton's old house (Turket's place) into a tunnel system that spans the levels, extending upward to some of the highest places. The librarian looks on in awe as Tommy's quick notes begin to make sense. And then, when the missing piece of a puzzling phrase falls into place revealing a bookshelf door on the third floor of the library, he gasps and excuses himself. He comes back with other librarians who gather around Tommy, buzzing excitedly. All scorn towards an Academian gone from their voices, they ask Tommy questions and start assisting in compiling the book's information in a more organized way. The rest of the book will take days to decipher completely, but the code is cracked. [/QUOTE]
