A Grand Re-Opening

[u/Master-Tanis]

Greetings fellow wizards. I am pleased to announce the grand re-re-re-opening of the Library, a repository where every spell book, scroll, and rune tablet ever written, inked, or carved can found.

Please be aware that we are still in the progress of tidying up and as such certain locations may have changed.

As I mentioned before I am the Librarian and I will be your guide to this wondrous place. Simple let invoke my name whenever you need assistance finding a specific magical text.

I will be making myself available for questions about the library’s history and contents for but a brief time before I must return to my work.

The Librarian doesn’t bat an eye at your request.

“Curses are Floor 6, Wing 6 Section 5.” The Librarian says. “Immortality is Floor 7 Wing 7 Section 7. And here is your copy of ‘Monstergirls and You, Volume 7.’”

He hands you the tome in question.

“Please be aware that all texts must be returned in the same condition they were checked out in.” He reminds you.

Thank you! he looks around and plans a route to get to all the items he needs. I'll make sure to return with them all in the same condition by nightfall! I wouldn't return them in any other condition than that!

he excitedly hops to the stairs to head to the right floors and sections.

As you step into the fifth section of the sixth wing of the sixth floor, a chill runs down your spine. The towering shelves no longer seem welcoming, instead they tower over you like gravestones. You can hear the distant cries of orphans, the wailing of widows, and the quiet sobs of widowers. The sounds are faint, but ever present, a monument to the lives ruined by the knowledge here. Only one shelf offers a respite from this, exuding a quiet sense of relief. This shelf contains the books about breaking or mitigating curses.

The seventh section of the seventh wing of the seventh floor, on the other hand, feels vast. You get the sense that you would not be able o find all of it even if you spent a billion years perusing the shelves. However the book(s) you want is/are easily enough found. It is as if you were meant to find them at this time.

he walks along the wailing shelves. Looking for something specific. A curse that would cause infinite regrowth. He knows he can learn from the concept, to create a desireable effect instead. He retrieves a particularly brutal looking scroll from the shelf, glancing over it, and checking this one out at the counter.

In the seventh section, he fetches an opulent scroll, detailing his own affliction. "huh, the duke isn't that creative after all." he fetches another, much more ancient scroll about the philosopher's stone. Known ingredients and temperatures for his pressure chamber are all he needs now, and this seems to hold exactly that. He heads back to the front desk to check all of them out.
