[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 4343880, member: 36973"] After a brief discussion, the party decides to camp in the (hopefully) abandoned farmhouse of the witch Katrina. Nothing marks their passage---no wolves, no flight of bats. Just fog and emptiness. The farmhouse is indeed empty, the chickens roaming freely. Though only Katrina and her "brothers" were at the Hill, old man Andrzej is no where to be found. Grateful for the sanctuary, the Flamists begin setting up defenses while Ashlyn and Tessa set about to examining the Tome. The scholar of the Host soon takes over, carefully examining the black leather and using some of Jarrith's finer tools to handle it. The book is old, probably the oldest thing in the valley aside from the Castle... and the evils that dwell inside. Several of the pages crumble to nothing despite Tessa's best efforts. What can be read is in a faded, cramped hand on pages so worn that they are almost transparent. [color=teal]"This will take some time."[/color] A meal is readied, and a watch is taken. Tessa makes occasional notes, discovering sketchy details about old battles of a bygone age... perhaps regarding Karrn himself? There are also notes about foul necromantic practices, and a belief in "the Blood" which she finds remarkably similar to ancient writings on pre-Galifarian Blood of Vol cults.
