Teppic smiles as he manages to find someone he recognizes to help them.
"Ah, Metac, perfect. My associates and myself are here looking for information regarding Pharoah Harus and more specifically his tomb. I know the location of the pyramid, but I hoped to discover the fate of the tomb. If you could instruct us as to where such information could be found, if indeed it is available, I would be most grateful."

Skor looks around, grinning his evil grin at the worried librarians, picking something from between his needlesharp teeth with a talon, and generally having a good time by playing his role as dumb-not-to-be-trusted-around-books-and-flamable-material barbarian to the max, picking a book at random and holding it upside-down while trying to read, just to see if any of the librarians dare to correct him.

Metac nods becomes if possible even more business like, a difficult feat for the usually almost emotionless priests of the Death God.
"I am afraid we have little on the more modern fate of the tomb, but I can show you to the historical documents regarding the Harus's life and the construction of his tomb, if that will be of use to you. Incidentally you may wish to ask your associate to hold the book the correct way up when he is attempting to read it, it may help if he can read Aeterian. Though I must admit I doubt an unbeliever would be interested in the digestive processes of energy-draining incorporeal undead."

Teppic nods understandingly at Metac's comments and then throws an amused glance over his shoulder at Skor's antics.
"I doubt telling him such would do any good, he is most likely just being difficult. As long as he is not threatening the books I believe he should be relatively harmless. If you could lead the way to the information you mentioned. It may not be quite what we are seeking, but it could give us some insight into our quarry."

"Uh, Metac, sorry to disturb you further, but do you happen to have any book in a language other than Aeterian on the topic, or any way for us foreigners to understand it? It is quite a matter of urgency, and that would save us a lot of time."

Metac nods to Teppic
"Certainly, Teppic, right this way. "
As he walks he answer's Duncan's question.
"I can provide appropriate magic to allow you to understand the texts and spoken languages but I am afraid it will be fairly expensive, we use the fees to buy new books and pay for old ones to be recopied. If you wish one of the librarians to cast the spell it will last 70 minutes but costs you 280 gold per person, if I cast it myself it will cost you 440 gold and last 110 minutes, or if you wish I can find the head librarian and his spells will last for 2 and a half hours but it will cost you 600 gold. I am afraid that you can only avail of each service once a day, for a group of your size, we simply do not have sufficient prayers of tongues memorized."

A little disappointed with the prices, glances with a hopeful face towards Talsia.

Talsia eyes Teppic, and takes a moment of thought before continuing, "Very well. I'll only do this once, however, so make what use of it that you can."
Talsia motions for the others to gather around her as she clasps her hands in prayer and assumes a look of contemplation. She closes her eyes and whispers a prayer to Paradox before actually attempting to perform the miracle.
(OOC-Talsia uses her Miracle in hope of emulating an Extended, Chained Tongues spell on the party)
