Tough As Dirt #22

• Before heading to Tremorra's Library of Ancient and Forbidden Wisdom, Gideon attempted to use the Find Familiar spell to bring the creature "Plumpler" from Mt Celestia to the material plane. With the scholarly help of Babbit, he was able to do so. 

• The group headed into the library and met the head librarian, Cobalt Ar'Host, who was quite the eccentric, and readily attempted to make friends with the group

• While at first they denied the creepy and overly familiar assistance of Cobalt, they soon found there was no system at all to organizing the library beyond the knowledge in his head, so Brother Moor asked about books about "Ordnung."

• Cobalt took the group deep underground, into the fifth level of the library where most books had not been touched in centuries.

• While there, Winslow determiend someone else had made their way down there by noticing tracks in the dust

• They found a children's nursery rhyme book that Cobalt claimed talked of Ordnung

• Cobalt then freaked out when he saw a couple books on a table that belonged on the second floor -- "The Nature of Draconic Creationality" and "Cutting the Strings: Necromancers and their Ties"

• They also heard a roar and the massive exhalation of something in the fifth chamber, out in the darkness

• The group followed the tracks in the dust to find they lead to the table with the two misplaced books, so they took the books and ascended back up to the first floor, taking the books with them as they left

• They returned to the ship and read the nursery rhyme about Ordnung:

  • Vast is the night

Bright as the day

Ordnung the light

Chaos the way

If sun and moon are one in the same

Then Order the light

And Vast is the way

• Scribbled in red ink in the margins of the story were the words: "Seven Seals of Pride and Pain."
