After spending the first thirty minutes Helping Drax and finding a more... secluded section of the library, Aether casts his spell and begins to tour the halls. Getting to about the middle of the library where the shelves stack the tallest. He finally gets a blip from detect magic. A small glow of enchantment magic rests high upon a shelf, some 40 feet in the air. As it catches his eye he hears a voice coming from behind him.
“Excuse me, do you need any help?”
Turning around to see a young (18-20) female human in a brown robe, black hair tucked behind her ears. With a warm smile she waits for a response.
Petmorn and Matteo listen as the the rustling stops. Everything goes quiet until the heat another loud rustle right at the edge of the camp. “Aaayyyggh!” As a kobold that’s been wrapped up in some vines trips and lands face first into the ground. “Owww!” As it begins to dust itself off.
(the mountain is not covered in snow. This one mountain in particular warmer despite the surrounding ranges being snow capped)
”Yes. Perhaps you could tell me where I can find a ladder. I’d like to see what some of these higher shelves might contain. And if you could tell me where temple records are kept, I have some need of those as well.”
(do I know how much longer I have on my disguise self at this point?)
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
To girl replies to Aether. “You must be new here, I haven’t seen you around. The restricted section is upstairs, they bring one book out at a time and your allowed to study under direct supervision. But that’s not open to everyone. As for the ladder, here.” She walks to the bookshelf you pointed at and knocks twice on a shelf, about 1 1/2 foot spaced apart. A ladder rolls down from the top of the shelf directly within the range that the girl knocked on. “What are you researching, if you don’t mind? Must be something important if you need records like that.”

Petmorn - This disheveled meek solitary kobold does not appear to be a threat. You don’t hear any more rustling. “Well I’m glad to get out of there, what are you guys doing out here?” He says in a high pitched but gravely voice. Tattered shirt and vest, hangs over black shorts that appear to be way too big as he struggles to keep them up. A wooden sword is resting at his hip.
”Yes I am new. My companions and I are chronicling the histories of the various temples. Cross checking the various accounts calls for us to look into many different sources.” He climbs up and retrieved a few different items including the one giving off the aura. Climbing backdown “When you say we can access one restricted item at a time is that per person or for all three of us? And do you happen to have a record of what items you have so we could make note of those we might be interested in looking at?”
Aether - the girl looks less enthused to keep answering your questions, but keeps the smile on her face. “Sounds like a bore,One person at a time, and no I don’t have access to anything like that. You have to prove your dedication over time through works and studies. Most of these times are research by the members of the faith. Years of dedication and determination only to be able to access those things you seek.” You see more people are waking up and getting ready to come down.
Petmorn and Matteo - The kobold looks surprise at looks st both of you “You’re both out here tracking down the vile beast Boverno? His treachery has truly reached far and wide!” He puts his hands on his hips as he looks around
“Thank you for you assistance.” Aether makes his way back to the others trying to spot the restricted section on his way. Once back in their private room he relays what he learned about the restricted access area and that it seemed the temple was waking up. “ So we can stay and access those records slowly with their restrictions, or we could try to gain access to them without their restrictions, or we can leave them for now and continue with what we have.” While they discuss their next step Aether will examine the item he found giving off the aura. “Also if any ask we are here working on a chronicle of the various temples histories. This should allow you to justify any odd request as looking for corroboration of other information.”

Perhaps not exactly the same as you, then. Boverno? I've never heard of him, but would be glad of the tale to pass the time while we wait for friends; Matteo waves the kobold to take a seat on a nearby log, if he wishes.
Aether and group - you don’t see any indication of a restricted section anywhere in the area. Looking at the book, the arcane aura really only emanates from the last page. Looking at the page of written script in common. It’s purely gibberish wording, Signed by Xavier.
Permorn/Matteo - the kobold comes over and before sitting down on the log, curls his fingers underneath it. Pulling out some grubs. He begins to tell his story while tossing the worms in a powder and adding some water from his waterskin. Mixing and kneading it into a dough. Producing a bonfire by stretching out his sand and snapping his fingers. He begins to cook the worm bread looking product.
“Well I’ve never seent it personally, but my tribe tells many stories of brushes with the White death, Boverno. They say of a giant ferocious beast; a beast that stands 20 kobold tall and claws as sharp as swords. With a deft swiftness, sneaking into villages and war parties. Killing all kobolds in sight, taking everything! Nothing left but bodies and blood! Others say they always take one survivor to eat later. Others tell stories of Boverno having a hundred eyes... you can’t sneak up on it. There’s always an eye open, my brother believes he never sleeps. That’s alright I’m quick enough and dangerous enough to slay the VILE BEAST!” With this he jumps to his feet and flares his sword by swinging wildly. In a way very much akin to Scrappy Doo. He quickly remembers his bread as he removes it from the tin, tears it in half. “Want some?”
Sure,says Matteo, but just a bite. He leans over and accepts half, but breaks that into half and returns part to the kobold. You need to keep your strength up for the fight. Seems a dangerous foe; have you fought many such creatures in the past?
He looks at the small piece of worm bread in his hand, and breaks it into two once again. He holds half out to Petmorn. Want some? He tosses the other half into his mouth, and begins chewing.
(What are library peeps doing? It wasn’t quite clear)
The kobold sits pleased with his meal, and smiles to see you share his food. “Nothing as fierce as Boverno, but that’s how I plan on becoming famous both at home and topside. I have been tracking its footprints through the mountains, lost the tracks a while back though. Can’t be too hard to find out here, given as big as it is. Once I kill it, I will become the world’s most renowned kobold adventurer: Archibald the Beast Slayer. If you didn’t know about Boverno, what are you doing out here?” Archibald begins to relax
”I can not hide my form to much longer without utilizing much of my arcane abilities. Perhaps it would be better to take what we have for the day and come back another time?”

Matteo glances at the kobold, and then at Petmorn. Never seen just one kobold before. He looks back at the creature sprawled on the ground. Hey you.

(OOC: So we have not had any kind of long rest right? because Drax used a lot of spells getting out of the temple.)

Risha raises an eyebrow. "Good of a reason as any. And personally, I'd vote against starting a commotion or risking that."
