Matteo reflects on the worm bread in his mouth. (How does it taste?) He chews some more, then swallows.
We're here on a Holy mission, says Matteo eagerly. We had some business up at the temples,he points, and we're waiting for some friends to finish up.I'm Matteo, by the way.
He stands up and looks around; Of course, if Boverno is nearby I would gladly support you in defeating it. He turns towards Petmorn, What do you say? Up for a hunt?
"Head back and join the others, I am going to try to sneak into the restricted area..." Drax would say calmly as his appearance changes to that of someone wearing the same robes as the clerics in the temple.. He would then try to make his way there and scan the area for anything of importance...
Risha grits her teeth as Drax leaves. "Or we could just charge headfirst into danger, that works too," she mutters, glancing at Aether. "We going to listen to him?"
"I think not. We have seen their idea of "sneak" before." Aether casts Disguise Self once again, changing his form and clothing to look like the woman who had helped him earlier. Following Drax he makes no attempt to hide but looks for the restricted section and attempts to walk in as if they have every right to do so.

Risha grumbles as everyone uses magic and just tries to look as if she belongs as she follows Aether.
Stealth: 8
OOC: OH COME ON CAN I ROLL ANYTHING BUT CRITS WITH THIS CHARACTER
She trips into a shelf and probably knocks down a whole shelf of books, giving Aether a look telling him to keep going while she deals with the fallout.
Drax looks around the library finding no indications or markings as to give an idea where the restricted section may be. All you know is that it’s upstairs. So as you depart, something catches Drax’s eye as he keeps looking. Turns out to be nothing but in the brief moment of slowed walking. Aether and Risha stumble into each other three stooges style. In the aftermath of the bumping into each other a trolly cart of books gets knocked over that sounds which sounds amplified in the high ceilings and all but previously silent room. Trying to make a quick getaway without too many eyes on you.
Theres about 15 student/priests in the library so far, but more coming in. You turn a corner and almost collide again as you are face to face with a human male. Baliding red hair, glasses balanced upon his nose. His robes look similar, but have some silver thread and a blue colored belt around his waist. Markings that signify higher status amongst the priests. “Hmmm, new apostles.... must be. Hopefully Delayna’s teachings will help you not be so..... clumsy.” He pulls out a scroll and scans the writing on it he speaks again, keeping his eyes on the paper. “What are your names?” (This would be for Drax and Aether as Risha stayed back and helping clean up the mess.
Attempting to approximate the voice of the young lady who helped him earlier. "Apologies. I was escorting this initiate to you, as they are not on my list either, when the petitioner moved the trolley into our path." Indicating Risha picking up the mess. "They kindly agreed to pick up while I brought this one to see you. They say their name is Torvus Edgecliff. I can continue to see to my morning tasks now if you will permit me?"
(OOC Also I had meant t add that I removed the enchanted page from the book and put it away before we left the room. I will understand if that is not permitted now.)
Matteo/Petmorn - Archibald looks pleased with your assistance and socialization. Surprisingly as you bite into the bread it tastes pretty good. It’s biscuit like, so kind of dry and crumbly but somehow has that salted buttery flavor to it. The texture and taste over powers the presence of the bugs and you can hardly tell they are in there.
Taking a look around the area you see evidence of tracks of normal fauna: maybe a rabbit, deer, wolf, but nothing that sticks out as “a great beast”. especially you haven’t seen such a creature before. However you feel confident that this Boverno isn’t around here.

Aether/ Drax - 19
(thanks for the reminder about you looks, that’s fine that you took the page)
The man takes his eyes up for the first time from the paper and looks to Aether “Oh, why... well thank you. Best that you get back to you chores.” Looking over to Drax “I’ll take you to the Head Mistress and get you sorted where you need to be. Come along, Mr. Edgecliff.” as the priest begins to lead Drax across the room to the Head Priest’s chambers/office. While the result of the ruse may not be exactly as hoped/intended; it does seem that this man is completely hooked and honestly trying to help a misplaced initiate. It does not seem that he is trying to set up a trap or anything.
(To be clear Drax would know who this priest is talking about. This is the dwarven woman who greeted you, set up your tour, and threatened you not to come back.

Aether
Aether quickly continues his search for the restricted section.
Investigation : 19
If he finds it he will find a hidden location and burn a 2nd level slot to look like the priest who took Drax before approaching. If not he will remain in disguise as the girl and ask another priest for assistance.
I don't see any signs of a creature as you describe,Matteo says regretfully; he would have enjoyed the hunt to pass the time. I'm no great tracker, of course. I wish I could be of more help, Archibald.
Aether - You continue your travel out of the main floor of the library. After searching for a good 10 minutes on the second and third floor, you find a door mark Archives. Walking in as the priest you just met, you see a half elf female. Brown hair, green eyes, with the normal young and elegant elven features, except for the ears. She is sitting at a desk going over some paper work when she looks up and with a smile says “Allistar, what can I do for you?”
Drax - you walk with the priest pass through the same old wooden door you escaped from the night previous. You take an immediate right into the office of the dwarven woman who is tending to things at the desk. The priest explains “Head Mistress, I have a new initiate here who has seemed to be left of the list, a mister Torvus Edgecliff.” The Dwarf lifts her head up from her works and looks over towards Drax in disguise. “How unfortunate, let’s see if we can figure out where the problem occurred. Tell me Torvus, when did you arrive here?”
Matteo / Petmorn - Archibald doesn’t seemed phase by the news, still enjoying his company and bread. “He is very difficult to track, would you mind if I stayed with you a bit and rest my feet? It’s been a long, long journey. What kind of holy mission are you on? Seems important, are you important people?”
Imitating the voice of priest as best I can. "Hmm, yes. The Head Mistress sent me to retrieve what materials we have regarding last night's.....incident. She is hoping to warn the other temples and various locations that might be in danger. So we need to find the records regarding where the other....artifacts are located."
Risha nods, frowning. "Good idea. Either of you learn anything useful?" she asks while standing from the table.

Seeing the bumbling of his associates. Aether tries to use them as distractions as he enters the restricted section.
(Turning crit failures into good things.)
Petmorn looks at Matteo. "If our companions take much longer I will be."

Risha finishes picking up the books and heads back to their table, frowning and toying with her rune-carved glasses.
