The olives and cheese are brought out quickly along with a pot of nice oolong tea with just a hint or orange and spice. A basket containg two small loafs of bread still steaming from the oven is also placed on the table along with an olive paste spread. "The rest will be out in a moment."

Walking over to the book case and studying it once again Jaroth feels like it is of the arcane school with perhaps a darker flavor to it almost necromatic in origin.

As he is studying the bookcase, he hears another new voice in the room, one that is familar from the ship. Turning around he sees the young man from the ship conversing with the owner in a somewhat low voice.

Finnian will also pick up a couple of books regarding the geography and peoples of the northern regions before moving into the smaller room with Jaroth. Browsing around in there, Finnian notes the care taken with the books then moves to look at the R'Kashi scroll with Jaroth.

Finnian does know the desert tongue so he will work out what he can of the scrolls without the use of magic.[/sblock]

Finnian watches Jaroth as he examines the books in more detail.

"Jaroth, do you find something interesting? I am finding this treasure trove may just hold my interest until the goodman here feels it time to close."

Finnian's ears perk up when he hears the voice of the yooung man from the ship. He will keep quiet and see what he can overhear.

Walking over to the book case and studying it once again Jaroth feels like it is of the arcane school with perhaps a darker flavor to it almost necromatic in origin.

As he is studying the bookcase, he hears another new voice in the room, one that is familar from the ship. Turning around he sees the young man from the ship conversing with the owner in a somewhat low voice.

Jaroth packs his notes and copies into his satchel to hide evidence of his copying and to appear busy in order to listen to the conversation between the boy an the bookseller.

If he is unsuccessful, we will emerge from the room, saying: "Goodman. That bookcase is of superb quality. But it gives me an unnatural chill. Where ever did you get it?" He stops and looks at the boy, pretending to notice him for the first time. "Oh. Hello young man. I remember you from the ship. Glorious day, isn't it?"

As Finnian is browsing the outer room, he stumbles across a book entitled "Culture of the Dragonship Peoples of the Far North". The book is written by a scholar of some note one Argolos Berlei.

Examing the desert scrolls with Jaroth, he finds the script almost runic but in a flowing pattern (think arabic).

"Jaroth, do you find something interesting? I am finding this treasure trove may just hold my interest until the goodman here feels it time to close."

"Why yes, Finnian. These scrolls go into great detail about the desert peoples and their various tribes. They also detail a forest called the Heartwood and detail battles between the desert people and the elves for control of that forest. And they include several names of known desert spirits. It is a fascinating read." Jaroth responds.

Jaroth suddenly looks at the bookcase, a twinkle in his eye. "There is something odd about that bookcase." Jaroth puts his hand out and closes his eyes for a moment. "Do you feel it?"

As Jaroth gathers his belongins and begins to listen he catches the words "package" and the word "urgency" followed by the word "punishment". As he approaches and greets the two, they stop their conversation. The young man responds to Jaroth with"Yes it appears to be a pleaseant afternoon" The bookseller replies with the comment "I dont rightly know good sir, my grandfather came across them when he opened the shop"

Vadric sits back and enjoys a cup of tea and partakes a bit of each of the appetizers. "This is truly excellent," he says aloud, to no one in particular. The knight certainly cannot wait for the rest of his meal, and eats with a very contented look upon his face.

Jaroth suddenly looks at the bookcase, a twinkle in his eye. "There is something odd about that bookcase." Jaroth puts his hand out and closes his eyes for a moment. "Do you feel it?"

"I'm better at reading people and writings than I am objects. Perhaps you could explain a bit further after we leave."

Finnian also emerges from the back room.

"I believe I'm going to be here a while longer so before I forget. How much do I owe you for this atlas of the north and this copy of Culture of the Dragonship Peoples of the Far North by Berlei."

[sblock] I have to get ready for rehearsal now. Will be back online late tonight.[/sblock]
