The smell in there is dusty and moldy
and you do find there is
some subtle water damage and some mildew growing
in one far corner and you’re like ugh, put that
back. However, you rolled really high. Two things
catch your eye. One, there appears to be the
remnants of some sort of notebook, a sketchbook
that is written in a language you do not
understand– What languages do you know?
LIAM: Well, off the bat, I don’t know where that
is in D&D Beyond yet. But if I open up my binder I
bet I have a paper version that I can verify with.
I speak Sylvan, Common, and Celestial and I also
can Comprehend Languages as a ritual spell but I
think that takes some time.
MATT: It does take ten minutes.
LIAM: Ten minutes.
MATT: But you glance through the book, and while
you cannot read the text you do recognize that
there are elements at the back of the book that
have a hint of arcane nature. That’s one of two
books you find with that roll.
SAM: It’s like the adult section for him.
MATT: I know. The second book you find is written
in Zemnian, which you can read.
LIAM: That’s correct.
MATT: The title translates to Fiends of Folklore.
LIAM: I’m so happy. You have quite a shop here.
MATT: “I know I do!”
LIAM: You have some real treasures. I’m
particularly interested in both of these books.
MATT: “Good choices, good choices.”
LIAM: I don’t know though, I don’t think that– I
mean I’m rather tight on coin at the moment so–
MATT: “That’s too bad.”
LIAM: Maybe my eyes are too big for my stomach.
MATT: He’s pulling the books away from you.
LIAM: How much would you part with these for?
MATT: (sniffs) He holds of the Fiends of Folklore
book, “Three gold pieces. This one, (sniffs)–
"ten gold pieces.”
LIAM: Which one is which?
MATT: The Fiends of Folklore is the three, the
other tome.
LIAM: The arcane, weird one.
MATT: You’re not quite sure what’s in it.
LIAM: Okay. Would you have any interest in a magic
cat?
MATT: “I’m sorry?”
LIAM: Frumpkin disappears from on Nott’s shoulder.
Reappears next to the little man.
MATT: (yelps) He like throws the books and grabs
nearby this large sack and starts–
angrily beating the cat.
LIAM: I’ll take that as a no!
TRAVIS: Childhood cat, destroyed!
MATT: He does hit Frumpkin. Frumpkin takes one
point of bludgeoning damage.
LIAM: That might be it, I don’t really know. I
