Night's Embrace: Part 1--A Touch of Darkness

Kel digs out the note that he found with the two stones.

"Looked like you could use a bit more coin if you only have what I found to live on for yourself and five friends. Treat yourselves--enjoy the city!" he reads.

Looking up again, he shakes his head and says, "Nope, there's nothing to indicate that she was going to pull this kind of stunt - although I'm not surprised by that, really. I think she likes to be ... unpredictable!"

Titus shrugs. "Royalty is almost a species unto itself. Who knows why you'd give a magic rock to someone without telling them how to use it?"

Turning to Sulannus, he says, "Well, whether we're likely to draw an ambush or not, I suppose it can't hurt to do research on Night's Embrace. Until we can meet up with Kel's new friend or figure out how that gem works, I've got no better ideas as far as the mission goes."

Kel frowns in thought.

"So, do you think the Academy might have records of Night's Embrace? And if so, how do you think we could get access to them?"

"Maybe the innkeeper's daughter could help us?" Blunt suggests. "Of course, there may be other libraries around, particularly private libraries."

"Maybe the innkeeper's daughter could help us?" Blunt suggests. "Of course, there may be other libraries around, particularly private libraries."

Titus shrugs. "Seems as good a place to start as any. Let's ask our hosts about libraries, and see where that takes us." With that, he moves for the door.

Kel shrugs and follows Titus. Finding Grahl, he asks about libraries in the city. In passing, he asks when Holly will be home again, since he's keen to speak to her about what it's like studying at the Academy.

*Master Grahl shrugs.*

"Don't know if I know of any except the great library in the Academy where they keep the Chronicles. Sorry lad--maybe you could ask Miss 'Leen?"

"Oh, Holly? She's on break in a month. Right smart kid she is, really makes her da' proud."

Titus turns to Kel. "You were looking into the Academy, yeah? You think we could use their library, or is it students-only?"

Titus turns to Kel. "You were looking into the Academy, yeah? You think we could use their library, or is it students-only?"

"Hmm, given the fees they charge their students, I suspect that they may be exclusive - although, for the appropriate sum, we may be able to research the information we need. I shudder to think how much that might cost."

*If Kel looks into it, he discovers that the Academy has several libraries and offers one day access to most libraries for 100 GP or lifetime access to the same subset for 2000 GP. Students get full access to all libraries while they remain students)

"And that's probably only for a single person," Blunt says with a hint of frustration. "Maybe the princess can assist with access?"
