[QUOTE="covaithe, post: 3926501, member: 46559"] Tommy stands quietly, lost in thought, while the others chat excitedly about their new magic items. At last he approaches Thyrin during a quiet moment. [color=silver]"Thyrin, I've been thinking. I was remembering the legend of how Arimisfotel the Wise, when he was in the court of Sairundan, would refuse gifts from courtiers seeking his influence, because he said they took up space that he needed for books. I find myself sympathizing; there are many useful magical items, but... When my friends and I were battling your elemental guardians, it became clear that the spells I learned at the Academy are simply not adequate for the adventuring life. I need to fill my spellbook, and as I'm sure you know, that isn't cheap. I, uh, felt it necessary, since you were trapped, to examine one of your spellbooks, and a number of scrolls, just to see if there was anything in there that could help us free you, and some of the things I read in there... Well, I don't understand them all, but I feel that I'm on the brink of understanding spells much more complex and potent than anything I know now. In fact, I have some ideas... ah, but now isn't the time for that. My point is this: I need is to write new spells into my spellbook, so I need arcane writing supplies more than I need magical items right now. Is there any way that you can help me? I know it seems ungrateful to ask this after your very generous offer, but I feel I owe it to my friends to learn as much as I can. The next spell I scribe may save one of their lives."[/color] [sblock=ooc]And I know it's a bit ungrateful of me as a player to try to talk the DM into changing the reward just because it's not quite as useful to my character as it is to others, so I'll understand if you say no, Rae.
