A bunch of jumbled murmuring follows. An elderly woman (human) shouts out "I witnessed the Glass Dao!" This gets a few laughs, and a strong orc calls out "You saw a statue at an art museum, eh?" "No," the woman pleads, "The Glass Dao is here! And in a smaller, humanoid form, still glass. I was looking through a lens my husband made so I could see the arena battle well. And their he was, fighting someone! I swear it!"

Check out Monach of the Realms forum game!As Djinni you'll know me, for I am your king. From void I have shaped thee, I've shaped everything. But please do not kneel, just look and behold, I rule you to heal and share stories untold. The mask that I wear is a crude one of glass, so your soul will repair if you glance at me fast. You'll pray that you know me, and I'll let your heart ring. I'm as strong as the world tree and I'll make your heart sing.

Whisper gives a smirk as the head falls off. The body will take a bit more work. A sigh escapes her when the cultists walk in. Ugh, nothing for it now. Hopefully she can take them out quickly before more show up.
She giggles to herself. "Step outside and find the palace, it's hard to miss. It has a flag pole a hundred feet high, bright red."

Clapper looks sheepishly at her. "Ah yes. I knew that. I was just testing you." He rapidly packs up and heads back to his room. Why ever would he be offered this? And why would she be thee one to ask? Doesn't matter. He needs to prepare. He starts pondering, thinking back on all his best songs. He starts thinking about that book. Could it help him with this task? He pulls it out and tries talking to it telepathically. Hey uh, I'm performing before someone very important tonight. You seem pretty smart, maybe you know something that can help me with that? I'm just really nervous. persuasion check: 14.
OOC: I'm considering multiclassing into warlock. I wonder if I could find a homebrew patron that could be the book?
You see what you have earned? You will play to the king, a feat of power. Exactly as I have beheld. This is your chance for glory. Just play, I will make sure you win the king's love.
[Looking through warlock patrons options. Are you saying you want the book to be your patron? I can do that. I love homebrewing, so I'm making one now called Memory Patron.]

You try to temporarily sliver the mind of one creature you can see within range. The target must succeed on an Intelligence saving throw or take 1d6 Psychic damage and subtract 1d4 from the next saving throw it makes before the end of your next turn.
Cantrip Upgrade. The damage increases by 1d6 when you reach levels 5 (2d6), 11 (3d6), and 17 (4d6).
[Short Description - Your patron is a memory brought to immense power. They are more involved with their warlocks personally and usually have only 1. This can come from a strange cursed book that writes it's thoughts to speak to the warlock, or a haunted mirror containing the patron's mind and image. They have no body, but an undying mind with access to mental power.] [Working on the subclass now.]

"Great," Whisper murmurs. She needs to hurry then. She grabs the head and tosses it into the flames, then aims another arrow at one of the statue's legs.
Clapper will for whatever reason trust the book and start playing whatever music comes to mind, just warming up. He'll take a short nap before he leaves for the palace.
The statue collapses to the ground from lack of support and splits open.

Clapper is a little taken aback at the offer.
"Well uh, I'd love to! I'm afraid I'm new here though. Not really sure where to go."
Whisper gives a smirk as the head falls off. The body will take a bit more work. A sigh escapes her when the cultists walk in. Ugh, nothing for it now. Hopefully she can take them out quickly before more show up.

Whisper goes first. She moves farther back into the room.

Yeah, I think the book as a patron would be a fun RP option. It's already kinda taking me over.
