The Library

When you check on the man his stained lips and the abseence of the berries indicates he is at least somewhat aware of his surrounding though he does not seem to relate well you anything you say. As Seren profers the soothing herbs he idly plucks them up and pops them into his cheek. The herbs do seem to cam him as he alternately chews and sucks on them as he looks over his scrawlings and mutters 'He is not human I tell you. Not at all. He want to come back but we must not allow that.

(11 - Study) Looking into the room you can tell this room was once a study. The room is furnished wish small tables for individual or small groups and there are an assortment of books and papers neatly organized throughout the room.

Entering you note that though evverything has been tidies there are a few items that do not look to belong to the library. A faded cloak, a nice leather satchel, a tattered hat, and a few glass beads in a little tray

The dark one weathed in flame and chaos. The seeker of undeath. His servant are already here. Beware them for they are not what they seem. and he cringes slightly clutching at a small pendant on his neck inset with a large crystal orb. I've seen it. Sen too much. He looked back at me Can't hide. He is comming and the man begins crying and muttering in a language that sounds familiar like a cross between common and arcane words.

The man is a bit ajitated at the touch but does not shrug it off and after a few moment calms down a bit.

Though the man still rambles, not making sense as far as you can tell, he does seem th understand you and response to prompts and and but no useful informative is gained. He seems insistent that there is a threat growing nearby, hidden or disguised, and that it will have a great impact on the world at large.

Moving to the north east corner you inspect the door before opening it carefully. Inside is a dark and cluttered room. Shelves line all of the the walls and an assortment of containers and machanisms are scattered around the room on tables and the shelves. Near the center of the room a thick column that glows at it top near the vaulted ceiling provides the only light.

Looking around Shmautz sees a few cleaning supplies, brooms, mops, dusters, along with a multitude of scraps. Though the floor is not the neat polished surfaces found elsewhere in the library it is still mostly dust and dirt free. A large bin filled with most of the trash and junk sits against the far wall in a corner. It looks like someone started using other surfaces and containers after the loading the hopper became impossible. He also recognizes a couple of automatons that do not appear to be working similar to the cleaner he had to fight previously.

The items strewn about are on top of the piles and surfaces scattered around the room. The pack has is covered in a light fur with images of gryphons on the back and flap as well as a few feathers. The metal plate has the image of a feather quill and scrolls with clasps that allow it to be clamped onto books, its current books having fallen to tatters. The skull is about as big as a hand and has a pair of horn and sharp fangs though it look vaguely simian. The opaque orb has a vague discoloration in the middle.

Servitor raises an arm again pointing at the column Alternate access point identified. and begins to glow. The columns emits a beam of light the baths servitor for a moment before changing color and flashing over the monkey.
The monkey freezes for a moment before jerking as the light covering it fades The library facilities have been closed due to prolonged absence of civic services. A list of needed services and repairs is being compiled. Please provide certification of services you are licensed to perform. And the monkey begins listing items, apparently in chronological order, that have fallen below the libraries required service levels. This continues for several minutes. As this goes on the central column's hum increases in pitch and volume as the light atop the column pulses, similarly gaining brightness with each pulse.
