Or worse- offspring of the spider.The dwarf and elf appear to have been warriors.  They have heavily damaged armor and broken weapons.  The human, however appears to have once been a mage.  A silvered but tarnished skull cap rests on the decaying head.  Looking at what the dead mage used as a seat cushion, it appears to be a large tome.“Could it be….?” Diana asks as she steps  up to the body.  She pushes the dead body with little regard for the dead and looks at the tome-It is written in a language she doesn’t know.   She looks at it and within it but cannot read it.  Taylor steps over to have a look but he too, cannot read it.  Kar-Draith looks at the cover- THE BOOK OF ETERNAL DARKNESS“Is this the book your Zilshire was looking for?”  asks Taylor.  While trying to get a better look at it.  The title has captured his attention and imagination.“It’s in the right location….. it stands out…..  I think so.” Answers Diana with clear uncertainty in her voice.“What language is it written in?” asks the Sorcerer to the lizardfolk.“Draconic.”“What does it say?” asks Charger.“Say?” teases Diana.   “Does it have a table of contents?” she asks.Kar-Draith carefully reads the third page in.HISTORY OF FIENDSHISTORY OF DRAGONSAGE OF DRAGONS:    CREATION    INCURSION    PLANAR WALLAGE OF FIENDS   RISE OF TIAMAT   THE WAR   ALLYS OF THE DRAGONS   ALLYS OF THE FIENDS   THE STANDOFFTHE PEOPLE OF POWER    CHRONEPSIS    LENDYS    GRAZZT    CTHULHU    TIAMAT    THE SPAWN    MOTHER OF MONSTERS    THE VISITOR   THE FATE SPINNERCITIES AND PLACES OF NOTE  BRASS TOWER  OBSIDIAN HOLE TO KHYBER  THE LEGACY  WARSHIP OF THE FORLORN  CITY OF ORCUS  DEVOURER   TOWER OF THE SHELLARTIFACTS  BABA YAGA’S HUT  CODEX OF THE INFINITE PLANES  HAMMER OF GESEN  SWORD OF FLAMETONGUE  OBSIDIAN MAN  ROD OF TEETH  DRAGON ORBS  BOOK OF THE DEFILER  REGALIA OF THE FOREVER  BONE STAFF OF INFINITI  BLACK ORB OF THE NOTHINGNESSTaylor’s face grows pale as the lizardfolk translates the ancient words as best as he can.   “You…. You cannot bring this to this…. Zilshire.”“Why not?  What is the Regalia of Forever?” Diana asks.“Is this book worth more than what we have been offered?” asks the greedy lizardfolk.“If you have translated this book correctly and the contents are true then…. It would be worth much….. very so- a great deal.    But I sense evil about it.” Says the sorcerer.“Paranoid much?” suggests the halfling artificer.  She looks at it and thinks about it more.  “I bet it could be thousands of gold in value.”“Even greater…..” follows the sorcerer.   “But the potential evil the chapters suggest makes it impossible to bring back to the Five Nations.”Platinum coins and priceless gems glitter in Kar-Draith’s eyes.  “Even…. Greater…. The sorcerer may be right.”Taylor smiles at the lizardfolk’s observations and thoughts of protecting the world and it’s peace.  “Maybe we shouldn’t bring it to Zilshire.  We could get so much more bringing it to better off richer historians.”“Whom may use it to restart a war we cannot hope to survive.” Spits out the frustrated old man.  “Don’t you see?  Don’t you care?!?”Kar-Draith gives a blank look.  Diana just wants to know more about it’s contents.  Charger…. Well the warforged has no idea why any of them has an issue with the book or finishing their mission they were hired to do.“What else is inside?” blurts out the excited artificer.Kar-Draith opens the door at random pages and repeats any word or words he sees several times.“Spells, Golem construction secrets, Awakening spells….. Planar whips…. And planar visitors.”“Read about the Regalia!   Please!” she begs.“NO!”  screams the sorcerer in a rage.  “That book is too dangerous to bring into the world.  I foresee only death and destruction if it is brought to the Five Nations or surrounding area.”“Calm down old man.   I have the book.  I will decide who we sell it too…… for the right price.” Commands the lizardfolk.Taylor stares hard at the greedy lizardfolk then relaxes.  He knows he cannot win an argument here and now- especially as Diana has taken an interest in the book also.He stalks off to a different section of the room and sits down.  “We need to rest and prepare for the trip back…… we can discuss this further later.”Kar-Draith wonders in his mind what the old man is up to.</blockquote>
