An almost voice slips into your ear Shalech, a familiar sound from half a lifetime away. You go back to the days, strapped to a table as your flesh is slowly opened. A hiss of magic, almost like laughter. It was coming from the book, is coming from this same book before you.
It is a servant of the being that tortured you, of Kyristan, and it holds his secrets.
"Then step next to me and tap into what magic power you have and I'll lead the charge." Dar shouts out as he steps forward towards the books again; black arcs shed off of his magical shields. Isa moves forward, also shielded by Dar's barriers. She releases her limited magic abilities into the fray before her, and Dar grabs and twist it into his own, pushing further forward.
"Rosetta keeps talking about how her rodents are off in people's cellars, needs them returned. If it'll shut the old bat up; I'll send you her way." Boabby says, leaning back in the chair, feet up on the table.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Dar steps forward, gathering the released magic from those around him, and pushes them towards the books. (Dar's Arcana Check: 16) The journal's scream as Dar overcomes them with his sheer power. He pushes the arcs of black magic back into the books. He hovers his hands over them, but is unable to push them farther; as their joined power is to great to overcome.
"I want to learn how to do magic, too!" Kizori chuckles, "My mom was really good at it. My dad was really strong. But, I want to be like my uncle. He had a way with animals. It was really fun to watch as a hatchling. He never had a brood of his own, he stayed at the hatchery, and is actually still there. I saw him a few years ago." Kizori regales the girl with stories of his family as they walk toward the tavern.

Shalech shudders, "that book has enough sentience to remember I was Kyristan's experiment and laugh at the memory of it."
"What do you want to do about it?" Dar asks, having stepped back from the table, forced back by the magic.
"Break its will. Make it answer our questions. Then banish it."
"So what makes you want to do magic?" He asks of the girl.

Croak raises an eyebrow towards Boabby, not quite over their last encounter.
"Work, adventure, same thing I suppose. You got an adventure for me?"

The girl responds to Kizori; "Well, I can do a little... sorta. I need to learn so I can take care of myself."
Shalech joins Dar and Isa and tries to release his own shadow magics.
Normand smiles back to Urselles. "I often try to express how Chauntea impacts my life and how she guides us every day; even the hard ones."
"Rosetta keeps talking about how her rodents are off in people's cellars, needs them returned. If it'll shut the old bat up; I'll send you her way." Boabby says, leaning back in the chair, feet up on the table.
Nathan also tries to help Dar and the others if he can.
“Yes, that sounds like a great idea” Urselles replies, she then continues preparing for the service

"You need magic for that?" Kizori seems puzzled, "But, people take care of themselves without magic all the time. Do you want to adventure, too?!"
Dar steps forward, gathering the released magic from those around him, and pushes them towards the books. (Dar's Arcana Check: 16) The journal's scream as Dar overcomes them with his sheer power. He pushes the arcs of black magic back into the books. He hovers his hands over them, but is unable to push them farther; as their joined power is to great to overcome.
The girl replies to Kizori; "I just want to be safe. I have magic so I thought... I thought it was my only way to protect myself."
Shalech will try once again to separate the books.

OOC: dammit!

If it is possible, Nathan would assist Shalech with separating the books!
