"Allow me to show you something."
Cristof walked up to a stone wall and after stroking its surface it opened up to reveal a passage. Gerhard watched as Mira and six of the others enter the new door. There was a hint of powerful magic coming from doorway and Gerhard didn't like this situation already.
Yeah, no.
"I guess I'll make sure its not just a ploy for time and watch our backs." he muttered to nobody in particular as they left.
He looked around at the makeshift living quarters and noticed Roderic had hung back as well.
"I wonder if our caretaker fellow has something to drink around here." he said sarcastically.
Gerhard walked over to a pile of books in a corner and picked a few up. A cook book, a bestiary... wait...
I know this series.
Gerhard opened an aged book and it was full of runes. They were familiar but, alas, past mistakes caught up with him again. He had always done the bare minimum of effort when studying runes for Calamai. Spells had interested him much more and the language of scribes was one that required frequent meditation. It also required one to abstain from spirits.
For someone who isn't magical, he has some old texts lying around... What's this one?
Pulling a small, rather thin tome from the shelf, Gerhard was struck by the runes on the front of the book. They were moving. As he tried to open it, Gerhard noticed the pages were seemingly held shut by a force like glue. A simple but complex charm for security. It must be holding some secrets of value for someone to bother casting such a spell on a book so small.
"I might have found something important, how about you?" asked Gerhard to Roderic who was also poking around the room. He quietly found an appropriately sized pocket in his robe and secured the book. Perhaps with time it could prove to be of some value.
