Dragon's Library Forbidden Section

[Raleigh]

I doubt electricity would be much of a concern given most of the locations books like these tend to find themselves in. Iron I can't be entirely sure about but I can have my people check for that while locating the items in question. I'm sure you can carry lithographs and the like too, yes? Not all of this stuff is on paper.

[AmbushCat]

I can carry just about anything.

Shiver: *curiously* What's a lithograph?

[Raleigh]

Sanskrit tablets and the like. Essentially writing on stone in the traditional sense. I know currently the term is used to more or less mean official artwork but it had a different meaning back in the day.

[AmbushCat]

Shiver: -Oh.-

Anyway, how long is it going to take to track down the first of what you need?

[Raleigh]

Not very actually. There is a cuneiform tablet that I need retrieved even as we speak in what is modern day Iran. I can get you a path to the building it is in but it'll be up to you to find it inside of the place. There are no guards as the building is rubble now but there may be blocked passageways. That particular item is of interest due to it containing some information about a form of primeval alchemy.

[AmbushCat]

Works for me. From what it sounds like, this should be a piece of catnip. *stretches a bit*

[Raleigh]

Try not to get too drunk from carrying it out then.

[AmbushCat]

Don't worry, I won't. *taps his skull a few times* Come on, guys, wake up already.

...

There we go. Most of them got knocked out by those protections of yours earlier.

[Raleigh]

*Nods.* So, shall I open the path for you?

Utsuko, you still there?

[AmbushCat]

All set.

[Raleigh]

*Raleigh nods and picks up a book and flips it to a certain page before setting it on the ground. The book opens into a gateway leading to the target area.* Step on through.

[AmbushCat]

*Ambush Cat does as instructed, followed closely by the trio.*
