[QUOTE="randomling, post: 1434049, member: 8432"] Okay. Last session was kinda short, and mostly involved introducing a couple of NPCs - Anila and Rashi - and Alex doing some fruitless research at his local library. Next session, he's headed to a larger library to do some more involved research. He's looking for information on three basic areas as far as I can tell. I need to track down some information on the web for the three major areas and I was wondering if anybody could direct me to some relevant resources on the web. [b]Symbols[/b] He memorized a single symbol from Landau's old spellbook. I've got a symbol for him, and an explanation of it. The symbol itself is going to lead him down the path of finding out about alchemy - not directly relevant, but alchemy may in turn lead him to magic. It's resources on alchemy I'm after. [b]Ghosts[/b] To be honest, I'm not sure [i]what[/i] he's trying to find out about ghosts. Mostly what he's going to find in the library if he does a general search on "ghosts" is lots of books on ghost stories and myths about the supernatural. With the ghosts he's encountered being different from your usual "trapped on Earth for reasons of unfinished business" types, finding information relevant to the mysteries he's come up against is going to be tough (and probably beyond his ability to track down just yet). Here, I'm just not sure what kind of information to give out. [b]Protective items[/b] Alex has the talisman he found in Anna's music box now, although he isn't wearing it. Anna thought it was protective, but it isn't. It's going to provide him with a +1 bonus on Sense checks. And of course, any magical item at all on Earth is unique, and probably listed in a book somewhere. That book's not going to be in Camden library. Madame Luludja might have more specialized knowledge. But if he does a search for "protective items", is he just going to find information on armour and birth control? Erm.... help? :) [/QUOTE]
