"Maybe you could use my father's library in the morning," Kendra says as she finishes her dinner and dabs her lips with her napkin. "You might find some information there. Now if you will excuse me it has been such a long day."
The young woman bids you all a good night and heads out the dinning room.
[sblock=OOC] Still need everyone else's "free" checks. You can make one per subject (kind of a what you know off the top of your head).
I will be advancing this WED night regardless if I receive rolls or not to the next day. What has been learned so far can be found here
If I get all rolls before WED of course I will advance earlier then.[/sblock]

"The Whispering Way is a society of necromancers, which are either undead themselves or have heavy dealings with them. Their most notorious member is Tar-Baphon. The professor had me do some investigations for him."

Daros pays little attention to the others as he tries to remember something of the Whispering Way. The name sounds tantalizingly familiar, and he's almost certain the professor spoke of it before.
"Zeldana's right. Undead played a terrible, dark role in the history of this nation, and I never believed that threat remained in the past. So I learned what I could of the past. Unfortunately, my parents didn't feel the same way, they think the church of Pharasma will always be able to protect Ustalav, and they disowned me for studying what they called black magic. I continued my studies anyway, and that's how I met the Professor. He told me my fears were justified, and also much about the background of the Whispering Way. I think the Way might be behind his death, as a means to keep him from learning of their plans or warning others. I wonder too if they had a hand in the...altercation we faced earlier.

"That appears likely, they may also be interested in these tomes the Professor had collected."

[sblock=OOC] At least in my case, its a combination of the result of my knowledge, religion check, my character's background, and logical summation of the situation. Which could be wrong.[/sblock]

Day One:
Not understanding exactly why the professor was interested in Harrowstone and The Whispering Way the group decides that clues might be somewhere in his library.
The works there are many and it takes almost the entire day to pour through them. Many deal with the evil cult but relatively few talk about the prison.
[sblock=OOC] Ok day one research time. Using the library allows those characters already with a rank in Arcana or Religion (Daros, Daggal, Aerodus, and Zeldana) to receive a +2 bonus to either check. All other character may make the checks as if they were trained (but with a rank of 0) to get results above 10.
You may use guidance or other spells for your research check, or any other ability you posses. And more importantly you may have others assist you (aid another to grant a +2 to your finally result). Those that are using their daily roll for aid another need to mark this clearly please.
It may take a couple days "in game" to learn all the information. This is good as there are things going on behind the scenes that need to take place before we can move on.
Note the library does not grant bonus for researching Harrowstone and you may only make a check for either The Whispering Way or Harrowstone once per game day from here on out.[/sblock]
