[QUOTE="reel_big_gish, post: 3045630, member: 43520"] [i]Inside the Morgrave University Library, all is quiet, save for the hushed whispers of scholars and the steady pitter-patter of the rain that has been falling all afternoon. The air is crisp and cool, the result of enchantments long ago placed upon the library to protect the knowledge held within from the ravages of heat and humidity. Students sit at small oak tables with their noses buried in ancient tomes while the gnome clerk on duty works on translating a massive book recovered from Xen'Drik only last week. In a heartbeat, the precious silence is shattered, as a hoarse, wordless scream echoes from the southern end of the library, followed momentarily by the thunderous crash of a bookcase toppling. As quickly as it was destroyed, the silence returns, this time with an ominous intent.[/i] [sblock=Joskar, Ethan, and Talen]Each of you is currently at the tables at the north end of the library, working on various research projects and such.
