Academy of Drell, Part 7

[Dalamar]

Seeing that some of them are gathering up, Sildarin moves over and listens to what the others say, but stays silent himself.

 

[Zhure]

Now that the library has been reorganized somewhat, Rallyn goes and stands by the door in time to see one of the human Crimson Guard assigned to protect them pass outside. The muscular man seems relaxed, like he's on some kind of break. It seems as if the guards are doing as instructed and leaving everyone alone in the library.

 

[Jarval]

"If we don't hand it over, what do we do with it? If it's as hard to destroy as we've been told, just throwing it on the fire won't work. And I doubt the Empire's finest are going to let us just walk off with it..." Mortimer glances to the library door.

"In addition, it's worth remembering the two drow who want this as badly, if not more so, than the men outside. The words 'rock' and 'a hard place' spring to mind..."

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique sat thinking for a moment. "I need time to think about this. there are somany reprocussions...."

 

[Zhure]

Carnan's loud steps can be heard approaching the section of the library where the group is sequestered, discussing the book.

"Made any progress have we?" the immense human asks.

 

[Jeremy]

Rallyn calmly mentions Carman's approach as he first spots him to give the others times to arrange themselves as they see fit.

I say we should just give 'em the book and be done with it. We ain't anybodies to be deciding matters of the Empire. Rallyn continues to hold his own council quietly.

 

[Argent Silvermage]

Lyrique hands over the book to Carnan. "I'll explain what this is to you and Palasant at the same time but this book should be destroyed. the spell contained could make a puppet out of the Emporer."

 

[Jarval]

Mortimer casually walks around Carnan and stands looking at a shelf of books somewhere in between the Emperor's man and the doorway out of the library.

Not that you'd be able to stop him, but you might slow him down... I'm getting far too paranoid of late...

 

[GnomeWorks]

Lyrique
"I'll explain what this is to you and Palasant at the same time but this book should be destroyed. the spell contained could make a puppet out of the Emporer."

Charlotte winces.

Did he have to be so obvious? We could've done this a lot easier if he hadn't come out and said that right away... but I suppose, perhaps it's better this way...

"Yes, the book should be destroyed." Charlotte says, nodding. "What is in there is very dangerous, and probably very evil... and as Lyrique said, it could make a puppet out of the Emperor, or any other governmental official, for that matter. The only use for that spell is to forward a dark purpose... and I don't think any of us are willing to let it fall into the hands of those who would use it as such."

Way to go Charlotte, just tell them what you're thinking right away... it's going to be amazing if I live past the next few days...

 

[Zhure]

Carnan grunts unintelligibly, but does look suspiciously at Mortimer as he replies. "Ok, the Lieutenant said to let him know what you've found out as soon as you were ready. "

Carnan walks toward the door. "I'll be outside to escort you when you're ready."
