The Bookhunters

[1r5]

"Dear _______,
I have received your signature, and I hereby grant you an invitation to my library.
It will contain the knowledge that you seek, but it comes at a cost.
To obtain your knowledge, one must overcome an obstacle.
If you manage to overcome this obstacle, the knowledge in the library is yours.
On the other hand, if the obstacle overwhelms you, you will be removed from the premises, and the doors of the library shall remain shut to you forevermore.

You may bring up to three friends.

I hope to meet you soon.
- B"

During a small information gathering session with a few acquaintances to learn more about Cosmic magic outside of the constellation of Leonaus, Shame accidentally found herself in the Academy's hidden library. Her and her acquaintances, surprised by this treasure trove of knowledge, began searching for whatever they could find - but, alas, they found naught but copies of the Celestial Codex. Though, one of them contained a peculiar message (not the one above, a different one), with promises of Cosmic knowledge that the Shimmering City wouldn't particularly approve of...

Attendees: "Shame", Han Hein, Elaena Viserys(rest in pepperoni you two), Guime V. Dorcha, Kuro, Feo Oul (i think)

Risk: High CoI would work, but I can also see low CoD along with it. Up to the DM, ultimately.

Tone: Bookhunting, forbidden knowledge, Top [X] Stars Osrona Doesn't Want You to Know About

Rewards: Dev item for "Shame", mainly (Book with information pertaining to red stars/constellations with red stars outside of the constellation of Leonaus) plus maybe some stuff for the others to make it worth their while, buuut can be up for discussion.

DM: please ;v;

Contact information: Giegue#8980 on Discord

Notes: This "obstacle" can be anything, as long as it is thematically appropriate. From a test of will and might in combat against a thinking enemy, to a challenge of wit, intelligence, and cunning by solving riddles and elaborate puzzles. Or both. Or something completely different. It's up to the DM to decide! Which coooooould be you!

(i told myself i wasn't gonna rip off library of ruina with this event but fuck aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

First event I, uh, have ever requested. Hope I did it correctly!)

Laying down on a couple of pillows and reading a book, Shame's mind starts to wander. While the book she signed certainly wasn't in the Academy's secret library anymore (she checked) she still hasn't received any word from this elusive "B". Surely, they couldn't have backed out, right?

"..."

"I am starting to think that B stands for "Bitch"."

(Still looking for a DM! I'm begging. Please.)

actually i think i'm just gonna shelf this event since there appears to be no dm interest. i'll still keep the idea of the library maybe for the future but i'm guessing this event's not gonna happen, so, uh, yeah sorry ;-;
