The rest of the party was woken up to discus it with the intention of visiting Cleric Blackhaze so he could poor over the books and make surr they weren't coated in black magic. Before they could peave they were approached by 5 hooded figures that tried to get them to join up with the dragon war on the Metallic dragon side of things. The party declined and a fight broke out. The party survived in tact and took the lone survivor to see Bartoma who killed the man on sight and explaimed that the metallic dragons were looking for him so they could imprison him and abuse his powers. He then warned the party to hide while they visited the next town, Dracosbrook, so they wouldn't be attacked again. As they eere leaving, he revealed that he knew about the black books from the cave and that the man that wrote them was named Brom Stongwind and that he had been in contact with a dragon caught in the shadow plane.
