[QUOTE="pneumatik, post: 4976793, member: 21087"] Hollister slides the empty scrollcase towards the voice and a moment later it disappears. [COLOR="Magenta"]"Done and done,"[/COLOR] the voice says. As the group looks over the sheets, no one immediately recognizes the language. The best anyone can do is Hollister thinks it's an outer-planer language because it looks vaguely similar to ignan. The drawings are for a large underground complex. The annotations on the drawings are in the same language as the text. [COLOR="Yellow"]"That's going to take hours for us to copy, and I need to leave the city tomorrow morning,"[/COLOR] Shealis says, interrupting your study. [COLOR="yellow"]"We should have paper, ink, and writing implements upstairs. If you want a table and chair you'll have to make something out of the doors and wood parts in here, though."[/COLOR] She looks at the guards. [COLOR="yellow"]"Brew a large pot of strong tea,"[/COLOR] she says. The sheets that filled the scrollcase are divvied up. Each one is almost a foot wide and the range from three feet to ten feet in length. The copying work is slow and tedious. Since none of you read the language you need to copy each character specifically. It's a good thing you all slept late today, because this work is going to take all night. OOC: After an hour or two of work you can estimate that you'll finish up in the early morning before sunrise. At that point you'll be pretty tired. You'll be able to stay awake but will have to make fort saves every hour to not be fatigued. If you sleep before becoming fatigued you only need four hours of sleep if you're not worried about getting spells back. Once you become fatigued you need eight hours of sleep to no longer be fatigued. [/QUOTE]
