[QUOTE="pogre, post: 926871, member: 6588"] Episode 43 The stitched together monster began flailing at the adventurers as they recovered from the initial shock. Shannon pushed forward against the beast, and it backed against a large desk to keep its opponents in front of it. The adventurers quickly surrounded the beast and began hacking. The monsters meaty fists came crashing down again and again, but the targets avoided their power.

Johann drove home his sword point and the seven-and-half-foot tall humanoid fell. The adventurers rested and looked at the several bookcases and cabinets along the walls. There was also a cherry wood desk in one corner and a cherry bookstand near the fireplace. One of the cabinets had a silver face with a number of runes on the front. The group looked through a number of the books about mundane subjects covering all kinds of fauna of flora. There were research journals and even a few spell creation logs scattered amongst the tomes. There was no question the books would be incredibly valuable to the right buyer. “That cabinet with the glyph is our target I’d wager,” Quint stated. “If the guys from the Network are unwilling to open that thing, then neither am I!” Bridget added. “Maybe we missed a key or something that’s on the lower floor,” Shannon offered. “Those runes look pretty nasty.” “Let’s make absolutely certain we have this level covered,” Johann suggested. Slowly, the group recovered every room on the upper floor and was satisfied they had covered the whole of it.

Immediately Johann walked into the room and cut through the floating platters support. The platter came spilling down and the four hot cloths it contained fell around it. Quint bent over and picked up one of the cloths. He rubbed his face with it. “Most refreshing, and thoughtful I might add.

Ancient chants issued from the old man’s lips and suddenly the group stopped. “Welcome, to my house dear friends,” the old man cooed. “I am Graywyr, but you already know that as we are old friends.” Quint felt a little dazed, but otherwise he was fine. He certainly was glad to see his old friend Graywyr. “Graywyr, where have you been? I missed your company.” The rest of the group in turn greeted the wizard as though he was long lost friend.
