Touch Rholund and transport via magic, land on a sandy beach – Ash very travel sick...
In a hot place – this is new, it is a tropical beach, very beautiful, beautiful building set back about 40 feet, tropical jungle behind us. This is the Zim Zam Zimbaland's Library.
Exceptionally large building, 100s of years old not 1000s. the one really odd thing is that around the building the air is suffused with coloured light.
The phrase "not to be forgotten" is recorded on the walls
Nine of the buildings behind the library push energy seem to be pushing energy of various colours into the "shield" around the library,
Investigate a broken one of the small buildings – large 6 legged insect lying in the centre of the space – giant dead bee husk. In the next one, the bones of a creature, they glow and are the bones of an angel.
Gather the bones of the angel for use in weapons later.
Ort notices words carved above the doors of each building,
Honey – Bee building (common)
Heaven – Angel
Beast – closed doors – Sylvan
Sea – common
???? - shut door no light
???? Shut door
????
???? Fiendish? No light
Craft Land – Gnomish
Volcano (primoradial)
Carnival (Common)
City (Common)
????
Evil (Fiendish) no energy
Grey waste
Factory (Brown and blue light)
Sounds a bit like the planes to Ort – seems similar to the lenses seen with the telescope.
Try the city door = G knocks then tries the door and darts back
There is debris of cloth, looks like a shredded pack of equipment. Ort finds a cat o nine tails – very mean version – good weapon (magical).
Go to an unknown unlight room – paladin of unknown deity – full plate – leave everything
Fiendish – this door is rotten and has corpsical mushrooms growing out of it. Leave it
Knock on craft land – blue and red, door opens easily, suspended in the middle of the room is a globe of energy holding a sleeping gnome. There are a number of magical glyphs around the floor in the room. They are something about the planes and anchoring.
Rub out the glyph round the gnome he is a leprecaun and had no clue what was going on and vanishes, leaving some gold.
Go back to the volcano one. the creature is awake – Ort scuffs out a marking – there is a snap of energy. Large creature gently stands up and stretches out. Speaks in common – what language do you mortals speak? reply Elvish is the common tongue – he speaks perfect elvish – why were you put here? I was tricked – summoned under the false pretext of a deal and was imprisoned in the bubble. Explain possible transference. States he is stiff but not weaker. advise re corpses in other buildings. suggests he owes us a favour – Ash says we are trying to get into the large building
Ismet Ragan – Fire Magic Assassin. Also version of sending spell to call him. Will also have to pay him to complete any job,
Go to sea
Dazed mermaid – break the glyphs – she starts to suffocate – Ort runs with her to the sea.
The mermaid gifts Ort a map of the world.
G opens the Beast door – really big bubble – ultra magic bear – the best a bear can be. Teddy is blessed – gets polar bear stats but still looks like Teddy, can no longer wear amour.
Done factory
Done grey waste – creature says "don't send me back to the grey waste", it is a grim slimy thing.
Briefly experienced a creature from another room that was violent and Ash sent him to the plane of fire.
