Ptolus: 165 Vock Row

[Cthulhudrew]

Their adventure takes place several months after the Longcoat adventure's resolution. I have a reference or two planned.

Ah. At this rate, you're going to have to have your own Ptolus section of the boards.

Heh, I may be at my limit currently for games I can juggle at one time.

For some reason, Vock Rowers, I got the Bankers' Guild and library/maproom conflated in my brain: The Delvers' Guild Library and Maproom is on Dalenguard Road, but it's a major thoroughfare leading through Oldtown to the fortress. Previous post edited appropriately.

The Bankers' Guild is on a side street, Palace Road, outside one wall of Dalenguard.

Is this the kind of library where you can wander around, or must you go through the librarian at the counter?

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

Ask him!

I'm just going to go with something right now, if it doesnt work for you, drop a book on my head or something.

Going to take a bit to know what kind of liberties I have.

Working late today, so I don't have access to my Ptolus guide at the moment. So I don't know if any original blueprints have survived, or if the Delver's library would even have access to them.

Please bear with me.

I am mainly working under the assumption that this is information that Thurst's knowledge (machines/technology) score would play into, but I don't know if it really has any bearing. It was just the only thing I could think of that a techhead might want to look into.

Livbovic blinks at Valana, thinking.

"Quite a few Delvers' journals discuss the ratlings. I have copies of the journals of the Company of the Black Lantern two rows down," he says, pointing. "They're all bound in black with an embossed lantern on the side. The earliest volumes discuss ratlings."

Turning to Mairan, he beckons her to follow him.

"Most of our records concern Midtown, since so many Delvers enter the Dungeon from Delvers' Square. The bankers are located near Dalenguard, I believe, and many Delvers feel uncomfortable breaking through cellar walls in earshot of the Commissar. But I believe there are references in the journals of the Runewardens and the Order of the Ancient Egg. I have an index I can consult."

They enter a break between bookshelves filled by two old and sturdy work tables. He waves a hand vaguely at a chair for Mairan to sit in while he bustles off in search of his index.

Livbovic slides a pair of books in front of Valana, one older, thicker and much read, while the other is a slimmer volume, and much less looked over. Not surprisingly, Valana, soon learns, the journal of the legendary Runewardens has seen much more attention by their fellow Delvers than the less well known Order of the Ancient Egg.

Are Runewarden and Order of the Ancient Egg books for me or for Mairan?

Double Post.

 

[Whizbang Dustyboots]

D'oh! I'll edit that.

Are you purposefully ignoring my questions about victims and survivors of the "handy" ratling?
