[14:19] <Janos> "Goodevening Milord."
[14:21] <Kalanyr> Nork looks up from his drink
[14:22] <Kalanyr> "Greetings, what can I do for you? "
[14:22] <Janos> "I am looking for a certain tome and I have heard that you might be able to help me acquire it."
[14:23] <Kalanyr> "You seek me for a tome ? There is a huge library at the academy "
[14:24] <Janos> "Well, that I come to you for a tome would suggest that it is not easily available, wouldn't it?"
[14:25] <Kalanyr> "Indeed, and since your reply is soconfident I assume you've already talked to the academy staff"
[14:26] <Kalanyr> "What can I possibly possess that none of them have or that you cannot fashion yourself, Janos ?"
[14:28] <Janos> "Compared to those at the academy, I am but an apprentice, so I cannot fashion it myself. And that is why I come to you for help."
[14:29] <Kalanyr> " What then is it that you desire ? It sounds like it will be something that requires significant effort from me if you cannot fashion it yourself "
[14:30] <Janos> "I assume you are familiar with the effects of a tome of learning?"
[14:31] <Kalanyr> "Indeed. "
[14:32] <Kalanyr> " Tomes that teach you things you would otherwise need more experience to learn ? Shortcuts to power. Yes I do."
[14:33] <Janos> "I am looking for a tome with the same effects, but which teaches me things that only those with a greater knowledge can omprehend."
[14:34] <Kalanyr> "Ah, I see now, greater knowledge within normal confines or stretching beyond them ? "
[14:35] <Janos> "stretching beyond them."
[14:36] <Kalanyr> "I do not possess that much knowledge in such a field and if you seek what I can make the cost to me will be great. "
[14:39] <Janos> "Yes, I am fully aware of that. But does that mean you are unwilling to take this comission?"
[14:40] <Kalanyr> "I am disinclined to take such costs for mere money, which I have more of than I need. But perhaps you have another offer ? "
[14:51] <Janos> "Maybe I can interest you in the blood of an ancient Blue Dragon?"
[14:56] <Kalanyr> "To be relevant for what you wish to make the blood must come from a dragon of almost incalculable age, ancient beyond a great wyrm, the dragon would need to be able to cast spells of the magnitude you seek to acquire "
[15:02] <Janos> "If I find you the blood of a Dragon so powerful it can cast beyond what I can, will you craft the tome for me?"
[15:02] <Kalanyr> "Yes, such would be sufficient to negate entirely the cost to myself, but beware not all dragons cast arcane spells, only arcane spells will benefit you in this creation"
[15:05] <Janos> "Very well, I will return once I have the blood."
[15:06] <Kalanyr> "Excellent, hmm, before you leave, what spells of the highest circles do you have ?"
[15:06] <Kalanyr> "Perhaps we could benefit from some exchange "
[15:07] <Janos> "I have researched Dominate Monster, Freedom, Mordenkainens Disjunction, Meteor Swarm, Energy Drain, Time Stop, Wish, Simbul's Spell Trigger, Duplicate and Elminster's Effulgent Epuration. What kind of exchange do you propose?"
