Session #74: The Infinite Library

[run by Max, a session venturing into some kind of infinite library outside of space and time ... recap written by him, with some edits by the Scribes. Thanks, Max!]

A recent increase of undead attacks near Tsur al Qadim and sightings of the Stygian [some kind of dreaded vorodla, apparently? Released (by accident?) some months ago ~the Scribes] attacking closer and closer to Cothon-Gadeed prompted a group of adventurers to seek out Sylvaine to learn more on its destruction. The group, with Sylvaine, was seen heading into Cothon-Under-Star’s library later that day with a hmela in tow.

Sesel, fighter 7

• Raoden, magic-user 5

Durham fighter 7

• Pako, renyu

Heijo, magic-user 6

Najm, magic-user 5

• Alianor Drake, fighter 1

Revna, magic-user 5

The group was in the library for an hour before returning, sans hmela. Curious patrons searched the library and rumors are spreading of a strange door that was never there before.
