The Base / New Paphos

Phlan listens to Skeeve and replies
The name is simple enough and it may aid our efforts. Very well.
I doubt declaring myself the local ruler would work. Otherwise I am sure the other factions would already have done so. Still It does bring up a potential path of development. I will go to the island and talk with lord Martinel. He may be able to guide us in this matter. He and several of his "men" retain their living knowledge. He may also know more about how to access the civic enchantments. Can you go and talk with him to get the basics while I try to get the scholars to collect and organize what we already know so I can meet with him in an informed manner tomorrow afternoon.
I disagree that we should wrest control of the Library. Our peaceful approach is was won us the favor of the librarian. It is he who keeps the other factions away. We can currently read most of the work there. All that if prohibited are a few select works and removal of any materials. However being able to use the civic Matrix would greatly reduce the difficulty of accessing the facility. Again I will check with lord Martinel. Deam, the sentient golem in the swamp, may also be of use in assisting us to gain access to the Matrix and other civic enchantments.

He goes on to explain that while the people have fled the city many of the enchantments within the Remnants are still active. Deans access to the library for example. And though they are fragmented they are of sufficient strength and quality that simply overriding them may damage them more than allow access to them. The researchers have 2 locations within the Residential district, a private residence and a public matrix Node and there are signs there should be a Node within the "docks" district, where the base is currently located. The map you copied should allow Fiznik and Valpip to locate and hopefully restore it to operation. Doing so may also reveal a way to gain access to other facilities.

Besides expanding the access to the library and possibly other Remnants Phlan is worried about the two western Remnants. He will be assigning more scouts to observe the locations in question and hopefully learn more about the conflict to the south and goblin invitations to the north.

A variety of things may be crafted using these. However most creating talked weeks or even months depending on the complexity and Powers of the item you craft.
The simplest with these crystals wild be items that simply focus and utilize their inherent abilities. Communication ior translation magics wild be the simplest. Items to charm or confuse with a bit more work.
