Message: <blockquote data-quote="ajanders" data-source="post: 3713974" data-attributes="member: 3271">Zook and the bookZook begins to decipher. The primitive encryption yields to him easily, but is remarkably boring.The notes are mostly cross-references to other events in history (which Veyk and Zook knew because of their knowledge checks) and to some basic works on magical theory (which Zook knows because of his Spellcraft check)Reading the book in more detail is pretty disturbing: there's apparently several weeks of discussion on what type of spawning undead to create.  Zook gets to learn more about the undead than he ever really wanted to: how can live soldiers be converted straight to ghouls or ghasts, how you need to kill someone to make them a bodak, the number of skeletons a mohrg can control...Finally Zook finds some new information. Scrolls were definitely created: the exact number and sort are never referred to directly, but the addended notes are pretty explicit, though not sourced.Create Undead: 5-7Circle of Death: 2-4Animate Dead: 8-10Enervation: 5-7This is probably the motherlode of scribed magic. There are whole countries that would kill to get their hands on this.And yet there's more...as Zook continues to read and will find out later today...</blockquote>
