WBW-DC-JSH-LIB-03: Between Covers and Through Tales
 |
The Librarian¸ Archfey of the domain of Boucquain¸ is drowning in inter-library loan requests - and to make matters worse¸ some of her Modron assistants seem to be malfunctioning!
With only Jeeves¸ the Librarian's Modron assistant¸ and Marginalia¸ her cat¸ left to help¸ she asks the party to assist her in fetching books from the Library stacks. But delving into the Library's stacks will uncover more than just books: Strange encounters eventually lead to a plot revealed¸ and unveil the mysterious threat to the Library.
Series: This adventure is the second of the Adventures in Librarianship series of WBW-DC-JSH-LIB adventures. It can be played as a standalone adventure¸ but also connects to an overarching story across all four adventures.
Pillars: This adventure largely focuses on freeform problem solving and puzzles¸ and as such¸ it primarily hinges on the exploration pillar. It also invokes the Social pillar¸ and accommodates parties with a more combat-oriented preference.
