[QUOTE="sniffles, post: 3195322, member: 30035"] [b]A Very Unusual Book[/b] [I]Dearest Naneth; I have some exciting news. There have been developments in my studies. I must thank you again for the spellbook you prepared for me. I hope you'll be pleased that I can now actually use some of the lesser spells it contains. And I'm eager to try out the remainder once my facility with wizardry improves. But the most exciting news is that I now have a familiar! A most unusual one, too. I'm certain I've never heard of a familiar such as this previously, nor have Roland or Latan. I had gone out to a library to seek information about Chult when Latan came looking for me. She brought me a book I hadn't seen before, though she told me Isaura had found it in my room at Silver Cottage. When she delivered the tome to me, a pair of tiny feet suddenly extruded from its spine and it opened itself and script began to appear on the pages! To my amazement the words were all in the ancient draconic vocabulary I've been studying of late. I was so delighted with this wonderful book I scarcely noticed when Latan took her leave. Very quickly I had an audience of librarians and other researchers, all of them gazing in awe at my charming book. Latan keeps insisting that it was rather rude and sarcastic to her when she discovered it, but I've seen no such behavior. I have given the book the name Istanil, which I think you'll agree is appropriate. Istanil has been providing me with great quantities of information about Chult, far more than I could discover without returning to Heritage or traveling to Candlekeep. This book will be invaluable. I sense your hand in it somehow, although Istanil claims not to know where she comes from. I cannot express enough gratitude to you and Ada. In the meantime we are waiting for the Council to decide where we should go next. That is why I'm researching Chult, as I'm sure you are aware. Evidently I've also acquired an overly friendly admirer since my last visit to Milvarune. Both Latan and Hedrin caught some fellow hanging about outside the cottage, whom they recognized as one of my admirers from our last visit. He fled when they approached him. Percy has also managed to increase his spellcasting ability, although that got him into trouble when he saw my admirer outside and wanted to let Hedrin know. Hedrin was busy drilling with the Ice Fangs when he suddenly found himself outside the front of the cottage, while Percy replaced him in the garden. Unfortunately Hedrin had been trading blows with Grond, who is much too strong for poor Percy. Percy is fortunate he wasn't more badly hurt, as this all occurred while I was away from the house. It's strange how natural it feels to have this ability to heal others, when I've only had such ability for a few days. For days now we've all felt a sense of great comfort and pleasure. All the colors seem brighter and the scents sweeter. This sensation came with our knowledge that though several of the Blessed have been slain, at least one has returned to the Lady's embrace. I'm sure Father Merrick has told you about this. But today I realized that the sensation has passed. I suppose I couldn't expect it to last indefinitely. I'll close now with love and the hope that it won't be long before I see you again. Give Ada my love also. I intend to take Istanil out to do some further study. Her abilities will be invaluable to me. And of course her little feet are so amusing! With love, your daughter, Thilme'.[/I] _____________________________________ [B]Quips & Quotes:[/B] [U]Zora[/U]: "The book slams shut." [U]Devo[/U]: "'My spine!'"
