Session 16: The Library

## NPC's

Font of Knowledge, Young Librarian, Silver Man

## Summary

The party follows the glowing of the library card, which leads them to a crevice in the roots barely above sea level. They barely dodge a lizard with too many eyes.

They are let in by a stern librarian who only states, "No shouting in the library." The Silver Man informs Cryllos, "Are you well-versed with the Dewy Decimal system? Good thing you don't, they don't use anything like that here." Alastor asks the young, albino librarian for the Font of Knowledge, to which she responds, "Good luck with that, many have searched, but no one has fount it yet." The party sees glowing moths illuminate the room and carry books to other libraries. The party flips through many books with powerful energies, but they find no Font of Knowledge. Alastor starts calling the Silver Man Greg because "he looks like one."

They ask the stern librarian about the Font of Knowledge, only for her to reveal herself to be it, to everyone's surprise. Not even the Silver Man knew. They ask her many questions, to which she truthfully answers.

## Misc.

* Oleander is missing this session; They have to take time in jail due to mishandling a gun previously.
* The crevice is described as high enough to be safe from everything except for tentacles or long necks.
* Book shenanigans:
	+ The Book of Prediction by Sir Andrew Blacmoc
		- Alastor sees himself reading other books in the library, which is revealed to be the most likely immediate future.
		- Cryllos sees his immediate past, but his face is missing.
		- Garoon sees mushrooms; he can surprisingly see colors. This causes the book to be stuck in a state of mushrooms.
	+ Scones and many other Teatime Treats by █████
		- It's chained up, and when asked about it, the librarian takes it away, calling it forbidden.

	+ There are other countries, and a barrier keeps anyone from leaving Arbora. It can be phased through, though it is not advised.
