The templars came and took several of the last slaves to place into the supply lines of the oncoming war.   He orders the last two remaining men to lock the storage area and call it a night.  He doesn’t even have men to guard the walls and gate.  As a security precaution, he checks over the compound.  He will contact Yadda afterwards and maybe she can conjure up some guards for use.  The crodlus are fed and watered.  Next he checks the main gate.  It is locked. He goes inside and locks himself in the main building.  He takes a glass and some broy and goes upstairs.  From his office he contacts Yadda.“What do you want Yaesha?” She demands.  Her murky gaunt form can be seen within a dark barely lit cavern that acts as her home south of Draj.“As you predicted, the templars have come and taken nearly all of the men and servants.  The compound is largely unguarded.”“Then guard it!”“I am but one man.”“Aggggh.    What do you want?” She hisses through missing and disjointed teeth.“Security.  If not for the compound then at least for the storage building.  There are still valuables there.”    There are several moments of silence then an unpleasant “Very well.  I will arrive shortly.”Yaesha knows this means she will teleport into the shadows in the basement of the storage building.  He will meet her there.He crosses the compound from the office building to the storage building.  He hears hushed whispering upstairs in the common room where the caravan workers sleep.  Curious what the last two servants are doing he goes upstairs to investigate.What sees both infuriates him and surprises him.  The two men are looking at a book.  Choro’s book.  The one he wanted to see destroyed.  Harshly, he calls them away and snatches the book.  He will deal with the book himself if need be.Leaving the fearful men behind, he goes down the stairs and enters the secret passage into the basement. At this very moment Yadda appears within the darkness.  A smell of defilement wafts into the air.  The defiler is no longer using illusions to mask her appearance.  “I give you this-“ and she holds out a gem.  Reluctantly, Yaesha takes it from her.  “- with it you may summon servants that will remain within this area only.”“Thankyou Yadda.”“As you should!  If I were in the middle of….. what have you there?” a sparkle flickers from an eye.  “I smell magic.  Old magic.  You have…. A book.”“Procured by the half-giant at Silver Springs.”“indeed.” She waves her hand and it levitates from the crate he placed it on to her hands.“Does he read it? Does he know what it says?”“The New Race- Olan- is trying.  He has had little success thus far.”“Really?” she says as she waves her hand slowly over the floating book.  It opens and pages slowly flip.  “Be sure to tell Choro of its destruction.”“Yes Yadda.  As you say.”</blockquote>
