"I need merely to acquire a few spell scrolls, take a few days to scribe them, then I'm ready.
But do tell us about the temple."

Xanfire sighs and says "I was allowed to visit with one of the most powerful oracles I know of. Her words were of dark tidings, and doom upon this world, and the gods. It seems that there is little time. Once we purchase our items, we need to find something called the Astral Necronomicon. This book will allow us a chance of survival. The oracle would not confirm it, but I have a suspicion that the gods can do nothing against this Prophet. We need to hurry. I do not know how long we have"
With one more look at the drow he says "Now is the last time we will have for you to answer my questions. What do you know of this book?"

Hedron places his order for items, that seems to take a while to list, and then when he is done he asks Xanfire and Thaddius if there were other thinigs they needed but were short on gold to get them. If Mal makes any request, he just gets a cold stare from the Ranger.

"It's an interesting tome, pertaining to certain creatures of the Void beyond this world. However, the plot is stale, the characters are wooden, the pacing is terrible, and the "twist ending" could be seen by page two.. Mal returns to placing his order, fully aware that he will not get the time to scribe these scrolls. A shame, but one which can be worked around if necessary. "I am not surprised at the lack of action by your gods. They always seemed far more interested in maintaining the status quo. As long as they were unaffected, they never really seemed to care."

ooc: Xanfire, did you attempt to contact your deity via magic? That's what you were planning to do at the Temple, but I'm not sure what you did just now (ie: still do that?)
Anyone who wants to can roll an Arcana or Planes check.

OCC: I figured that without the High Clerics support it was going to be a dead end. So I proceeded with the 2nd half of going to the temple/praying, which was filling up the spells I had not prepared yet.

[sblock=knowledge Arcana] The Necronomicon is a fairly broad term, basically meaning it's a big scary evil book. Fairly straightforward.
However, the idea of an Astral book reminds you of a theory that all ideas exist "out there" beyond physical reality. Authors get ideas and transcribe them, but there are "astral" books that are the primary documents from which the physical copies are written. Whether such primary forms exist for all books, or only important ones (ie: the pfrpg version of the Book of Exalted Deeds) is unknown.
Certain powerful books, which appear throughout history but without any explanation of how they got between different locations, or survived almost certain destruction, could have been different "scribings" of the same astral book. Individual copies may be different (and the copies of those copies degrade from those "originals"), but each bears aspects of the Astral book.
In theory this Astral Necronomicon would be the "ideal" version of the book, from which all other versions are mere copies. There could therefore be several "original" Necronomicons, even if the authors (likely seers of extreme power) never had any connection with each other. [/sblock]

Hedron is thinking on the subject and it seems he hears whispers of information.
[sblock=the whispers]
The headband he wears is a headband of Mental Superiority. those give a +20 skill check to two random knowledge skills, if not created by him. Arcana and planes are the two that I rolled.[/sblock]
