DM Mitch Monday August 6th, 2018 7:52:26 AM Tink waits to hear what Auslander has to say about the questioning.
Restlin produces a library card and asks if it allows him to bring guests
Garret checks his pockets, finds some old bread, sniffs it and then eats it.
Beri digs through his pack to find the document Auslander was asking about.
Bosk too hands over an old document
Tink has a grin on her face hearing about the notary being on the way.
Bosk cringes at the thought of more red tape.
Zane scoops up Agatha and Sprocket and flies them over to the meeting.
Auslander says, “Restlin, your library card is in good standing and it will allow you to bring precisely one guest with you.”
To the others he says, “Unfortunately it seems the rest of the documents have expired so I’m going to have to send a runner for Robert the Notary. I’m glad most of you still seem to have your documents but that piece of bread that picked up some of the ink from Garret’s papers is unacceptable.”
A runner is sent for and a nervous looking man with eye lenses is brought forth. “You ask -- ask-- asked for me boss?” the man stammers.
“Robert, please create a new one year temporary library pass for Garret Goodbarrel and update the library documents for the other dragons except Restlin to expire precisely one year from today’s date.”
Agatha seems disappointed in not being able to stay and watch Dock some more but she comes along.
As to Tink's questions Auslander says, "Mara is fine. The repairs are proceeding on schedule well technically ahead of schedule as we've contracted the Star Mages to help. The city is recovering and the people are as well as can be expected."

Garret looks at the ink on his bread in surprise. He says, "That's ink? I thought that was meat juice."
He thinks a moment and says, "Does the library have any snacks?"
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] Monday August 6th, 2018 11:45:35 AM
Sesha prestidigitates the ink on Garrets bread, giving it the taste of meat juice. She couldn't say for sure if it was entirely safe to eat, but if anyones stomach could handle it...
"There Garret. Bread saved."
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Monday August 6th, 2018 1:33:03 PM
Zane lands outside the front door, placing both Agatha and Sprocket on the ground, (over the rings)"Bringing in guests". As he opens the door, "Right this way Agatha and Sprocket, Oh, did you know we used magic to expand our Tower to it's current size? There's also a few levels below ground as well." Trying to distract Agatha from her unhealthy interest in disassembling Dock. Seeing Auslander, "Hello Inspector" Zane says as he ushers the other two into the room.

"I believe I will need a new pass as well. I was not with the Iron Dragons when they last received theirs." Wyaar adds in.
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 183/231 Blink: 50% miss, CMD = 23 Monday August 6th, 2018 9:58:49 PM Thank you so much Auslander, and you too Robert! If the details we are looking for are recorded anywhere it will be in one of the books down there The druid starts reviewing what Gargul had told them and will look for details on the locations, gods, and spell components they will need, so he can search more efficiently when he gets to the library
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +18/+9/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 168/168 (Spells) Luck Points: 17/26 Monday August 6th, 2018 11:15:30 PM "So, off to the library, then? Someone want to remind me why?"
Bosk AC: 42/20/38 blinking, DR10/magic, CMD: 35 93 hp (-18 lost con) /169 Tuesday August 7th, 2018 12:48:05 AM
Bosk feels a little or if his element, but follows the group to the library.
DM Mitch Tuesday August 7th, 2018 7:16:51 AM Garret inked his bread and is surprised. He inquires about food at the library.
Sesha saves Garret’s bread.
Zane brings Agatha in and tries to distract her from Dock.
Wyarr mentions he doesn’t have a library pass.
Beri thanks Auslander and starts thinking back to what Gargul told them.
Restlin asks for a reminder as to why they’re going to the library.
Bosk follows along, feeling a little out of his element.
In response to Garret’s question about snacks, Auslander says, “Well heavens no. Some of those manuscripts are ancient. Great care has to be taken to preserve them even with magicks so as such no food or drink is allowed in the library proper.”
Agatha and Sprocket follow behind Zane. Agatha says, “I believe I was present at the ceremony that installed your tower, granted I wasn’t a participant but I could still see everything that was going on. As for your crystalline construct friend I’ve honestly never seen anything like him and would really like to understand how he works for research purposes.”
Auslander says to Wyaar, “I totally forgot about that sir Wyaar. You’ve just seemed to naturally fit in that I take for granted you recently came back to it.”
To Robert he says, “Please add another new 1 year library pass for Wyaar Mudlynn to your todo list.”
Robert continues to nervously stammer, “Of c-c-c-c course sir.”
Sense Motive: (DC 21 Highlight to display spoiler: {Robert seems young for a notary public and isn’t used to being in the presence of such illustrious figures as the Iron Dragons)}
You entertain Agatha, Sprocket and Auslander while Robert the notary scribes away at his documents. He has to stop every now and then to sharpen his quills and he fumbles in his pocket for a specific stamp but eventually he seems satisfied with his handy work. He hands the stack of documents back to Auslander for his inspection.
Auslander just nods at the stack of papers and then hands them out to the Dragons they go to. To Garret Auslander says, “Do take better care of this one Master Goodbarrel and don’t tell the librarians about the poor state of your previous credentials or else they might not let you in to the library at all.”

Tink recalls the times that she has felt nervous around others. She tries to come up with some way to help Robert feel at ease.
"Relax, Robert. You're doing a fine job" she says as calmly as she can. "We haven't had the pleasure of meeting many legal folk here - much to my disappointment. The Inspector wouldn't have called you here if you weren't suited to the task."
Tink would like to become a legal mentor for Robert, but now is not the time to cover such things.
Sense Motive vs DC21: Autopass
Zane (JCC) AC 31, CMB 22, CMD 38, HP 268/268, Blindsense 60' Character Tuesday August 7th, 2018 9:33:33 AM "Library Pass? What's that..... Something you visited while I was at sea for a couple years? Not that I likely need one anyways, unless you want something about boats or the sea researched.... And I'd go to the experts that experience them rather than write about them...." It's obvious that Zane is clueless about a Library and a Pass to needed to enter....
Garret Goodbarrel [AC:46/46/38; +4 vs AOO; HP: 207/207 Ki:20/20 CMD: 51 SR: 29] Tuesday August 7th, 2018 10:44:14 AM
Garret munches down the bread and tells Sesha, "Tastes like meat juice, thank you!"
When Auslander gets ready to hand him the paper, Garret licks his fingers to try and get the meat juice off them before grabbing the paper. He looks at it, then carefully folds it gingerly...then crams it into his pocket that had previously held the bread. He nods and says, "Right, no food or drink in the library." But then he mumbles, "I'm sure that doesn't mean no snacks, though..."
Sesha [AC 35 /23 To/35 Fl] | HP 21/129 | CMD 33] Tuesday August 7th, 2018 12:21:49 PM
Sesha hooks her arm in Restlins.
"We are going because Beri wants to. I think he thinks there might be something useful for us there."
Wyaar ( Sheet) AC 21/15/16, CMD 33 , HP 140/153 (148 temp max), DR 5/Evil Tuesday August 7th, 2018 3:45:11 PM
"I hear wizardly folks are fond of books." Wyaar comments to Restlin, "though I can see the ink stains and dust being a problem for you.. We'll get you gloves and a scarf to wear."
Wyaar thanks Auslander and the scribe for the pass before tucking it away in his pants.

OOC: I may have missed it before but was it stated how many days worth of downtime we were getting?
Beriothian -- AC:38+4/18/36+4 HP: 183/231 Blink: 50% miss, CMD = 23 Tuesday August 7th, 2018 9:08:32 PM Ah, well there are a couple things I am wanting to check for in the library. The first is general research as our instructions were intentionally vague and alternative possibilities were hinted at. I honestly have no clue what those might be, but I'd be a fool not to look into every tip a god provided me.
With that the druid absent mindedly runs his finger over the dimple on his forehead, remembering what happened last time hi didn't fully embrace what Gargul had told him.
The other thing I would like to look into are the preferred attack methods of both the one we are looking for, and the one who we are expecting to subdue him. The fight sounds like it's going to be a little too evenly matched for comfort, and I'd like to tip the scales in the Wold's favor. Also, I learned the hard way how quick a god can kill you, I'd like to know what we're up against so I can avoid a repeat of this afternoon.
Restlin (Carl) -- AC +18/+9/+13 CMD: +20 HP: 168/168 (Spells) Luck Points: 17/26 Tuesday August 7th, 2018 11:18:07 PM "Ok, then. Let's head off to the library soon as Robert here gets you guys passes." He pats Sesha's hand. "Let's go take a walk while these guys get things sorted out. You can be my plus one on my card."
Bosk AC: 42/20/38 blinking, DR10/magic, CMD: 35 93 hp (-18 lost con) /169 Wednesday August 8th, 2018 1:05:14 AM
Bosk continued following the group, and offers to help in whatever way he can. He knows at least half the group are more skilled than he is at gathering information and using libraries, but they doesn't stop him from trying.
