- I joined the Adventurerers Guild a while back.
- Today I signed up for some job. I joined because I need some cash.
- Elentel the Wizard and Brigid the Fighter also join the adventure.
- We need to go to some library to get rid of the monsters for some
  researcher to come in?
- On the way to the library, we go through a swamp
- We run into some lizard folks who look like they just got done
  hunting an aligator
- They almost decide to attack Brigid as an alternate dinner, but
  Elentel convinces them otherwise
- So we move on to the library
- When we get there, it looks like some old building and nobody has
  been there for a while
- We get the doors open, Brigid gives me a torch, and we go inside
- Then something tries to kill me
- Next thing I know, Elentel has killed the baddie and Brigid almost
  died too
- I gain 100 XP
- And now I'm somewhere else!

- I roll a 1d4 => 3 hours of unconsciousness, unless otherwise woken
  up.
- A lizardfolk, someone, probably bad, is dragging my unconscious body
  away
- My fellow adventures capture them, a little girl, who claims she
  needs food for her family; they were going to eat me
- She tells us the library has cockatrices

  some books, or a specific book maybe

- After a little while we get to the home in the library of the
  lizardfolk

  had been following a juvenile lizardfolk back to where their family
  had been living.

  our guild task to clear the library

- We get to what might be the main part of the library. There's a
  second/mez floor and the ceiling goes way up to the dome that was
  visible from the outside.
- I find two books in okay condition worth 10 gold each
- We all touch the spot that Elnentel was working on and it lights up
  when they and I touch it, but not Brigid.

  one hand and chimes in the other.

  students.

- El eeps and I start playing the flute and we settle down the gobins.
- Prix and Grix
- They seem confused as to how long they've been in the library
- The librarian is a she
- She might be an owl bear
- But then they call the librarian a he
- "Live the exciting live of the abjoration wizard" or "running away
  from lizardfolk" and again they cannot agree and keep changing the
  story

  tell us we should extinguish non-magical light sources and speak
  quietly to avoid dangers loose in the wing
