You reach forward, hesitating for a second before grabbing the handle.
A slam startles you as all the armor on Tara zips over and slams into place around your body, encasing you in the suit.
Tara: "Stay."
She walks away, and you find yourself unable to move inside the armor. The door to the house opens and then closes, and your sword-arm slowly moves to your waist, where a sheath materializes over the blade and hooks itself to a belt.
A smooth, feminine voice fills your mind.
So. Did you take a peek? I won't hurt you if you say 'yes.' Promise.

At the book? I learned about it, like, an hour ago. I wouldn't even be there yet if I'd gone straight for the thing. God it's tempting to. I would like to learn bio magic. Doubt I'll ever get as convenient a source as this either. Not worth the risk though. Not even close. One wrong glance at a wrong page, and I'd be ♥♥♥♥, at best.
I see. I'm not great at telling if someone's lying, so I'd almost feel bad if I crushed you and you were telling the truth. Almost.
So, where is this book?

I'm really not sure why I brought it up. Maybe I wanted to get it off my chest alone. Kinda defeats the purpose of secrecy with it I guess. Wait, am I thinking out loud. Was I thinking out loud?
The library in Mead, where Sanoa took the cover of a librarian. A good place to hide a book.
The door to the building opens and closes, and you hear a pair of footsteps walking towards you. As they come into view, you see Tara, and a white armored figure.
Lucida: "Don't worry John, I'll keep your brain safe!"
Tara: "Lucida will be covering you until the Whitehawk gets here - I sent them a message through the ballista, so it shouldn't be too long."
Lucida holds his weapon with the handle towards you.

After making sure you can move your arms, you take Lucida in your left hand and offer Atra's handle to Tara with your right. The moment the black armor switches off from you to Tara, Lucida's body vanishes and the armor quickly flies around you and snaps into place.
Lucida: Testing. Can you hear me?
Tara: "One of the main medical guilds, they'll investigate the matter in more detail. Go retrieve the book, do not destroy it or read it. Lucida will retain it until the Whitehawk arrives."
Oh thank god, you're much less intimidating than Atra.
Lucida: I guess I’ve got something to work on, then.
"Alright, we'll head out then. Atra, it was... interesting meeting you. I hope it's less stressful next time."
Tara: ”Atra says, well, I probably shouldn’t repeat that.
Don’t try to get yourself into anymore trouble.” ____________________

Not worrying about Vandolf's arrangements for the night, you and Tabi head off, locating a nice looking inn a few blocks down. A large stone building with five or six levels and balconies for every room. Upon entering, you find the place well-lit and nicely decorated with a mix of light tan walls, bronze fixtures, and an abundance of green plant life.
The receptionist counter is manned by a duo of uniformed chirop, the two of you approaching it.
Receptionist 1: "Welcome!"
Tabi: "Hello, we would like a-er, uhm..."
Receptionist 1: "Would you like a room? Or two?"
Tabi: "UUUUUUH."
Her head slowly turns to you.
Tabi: "Kleigg, how much money do you have."
TheKebbit wrote:
"...ten Aes. A shoestring budget. I don't know if that'll be enough for two."
"...okay, hear me out on this. We're comrades in arms. This mission is going to go on for some time. What could possibly go wrong with rooming together once?"
(shall we assume Vandolf's request to meet in the morning was heard before we wandered off to the inn? that would simplify things)
Tabi: "Yeah, just, once.
We'll have one room."
Receptionist 1: "That will be twenty Aes for one night, an additional ten for each added night."
Tabi: "Just one night."
Your batty companion glances towards you.
Tabi: "Let's split it."
Sounds reasonable enough, so both of you pass up a silver, and in exchange get a pair of steel keys, one for the each of you.
Receptionist: "Enjoy your night."
She gives the wink to the two of you, resulting in Tabi quickly turning and walking towards the nearest flight of stairs. You quickly follow her, taking a look at your room key. The number 206 is on it - must be the room number.
One floor up, and the two of you stand in front of room 206. Tabi inserts her key and turns, the lock is undone and she opens the door.
It's a cozy looking room - first there's a room to the left, a wash room with a large porcelain tub, sink, and toilet, complete with copper water fixtures. To the right is a closet, and ahead is the main room - two beds a few feet apart, a desk, and sliding glass doors at the back leading to the balcony.
Tabi drops off her stuff off beside the desk before moving towards the washroom.
Tabi: "I'm gonna take a quick wash."
The door closes behind the bat, followed soon by the sound of running water.

>Armor off. This itchy goddamn hair-shirt too - swap it for the nice white one we stole in Magusalto. What a charmed life I live. >>Fall back on a bed and close my eyes. Take in an impression of whatever magic flows through these rooms. Wait for my friend.
Taking off your armor and hair shirt, you put on your nice sleeved button-down white shirt that was part of a university uniform package. You the let yourself fall back on the bed, closing your eyes and getting a glimpse of the magic that runs throughout the inn's walls.
Conduits running to light fixtures, vents, and pipes - light, air conditioning, and heated water. Pretty advanced, you can see why this would be a popular place to stay.
The sound of running water stops after a few minutes, and Tabi soon exits the washroom wrapped in enough towels to resemble a mummy.
Tabi: "I forgot to grab a fresh change of clothes. Could you, um, take my coin bag and grab something from the shop on the bottom floor?"
She digs through her bag of items and pulls out a pouch, holding it hesitantly.
"Any preference?"
Tabi: ”Something normal, I guess.”
Normal, you can do that! The towel mummy hands you her coin pouch and you leave the room to head for the ground level. There’s an entranceway that leads to a room with shelves of clothing, towels, and soaps.
Let’s see… Some classy sleeved button-down shirts - standard wear for anyone in a uniform, and dress pants that come in black and light tan. Various colored slitted-sleeve shirts and loose fitting colored pants. Simple white cotton shirts and canvas pants, standard attire of the field-born adventurer. Ruffled sleeping shirts and pants, and undergarments. Dresses of various colors, all the same style - sleeveless and form-fitting but full coverage on the rest of body. ____________________

"Basically, in Vranhal they're tryin' t' see if they can get the spirit out of a rather dangerous one." "Know roughly what we're gon' do when spirit is out, but it's likely bound by a possession, not just a simple haunt. What you said made me realise could be in trouble gettin' it out."
Bauen: "Hrm. You will most likely have to break a possession to get the spirit out, yes. The task will be further complicated by the weapon's own security measures, which must be broken before you can tamper with anything. I suppose you wish to learn how to undue possessions?"
"If you don't mind, that'd be 'ppreciated."
Bauen: ”It is not an easy task, and even once you get a spirit detached, it can possess the same item again, or a different item nearby. It is usual to weaken the spirit beforehand to make it easier to remove.”
Attacking someone’s spirit is, well, tricky. It more or less involves reaching out with your own spirit and poking theirs really hard. ____________________

With your help Rauha, now we know, and knowing is half the battle. You're still important, and can make a positive impact on this world, even if not everyone realizes it. Take care of yourself.

> Go just south of the town, near the edge of the forest, and carefully see if I can make any new friends.
After delivering your farewell to the leviathan, you walk through the city, locating the bridge that takes you over the moat and out of Teleiat. Heading south, you reach the edge of the forest.
It's, well dark. You're not sure what lies within the shadows of the trees, but it seems odd that any creature would be so close to a large, visible settlement. If you want to encounter something, you might have to poke your nose in.

You wander along the edge of the forest on the path between Teleiat and tower, not really going anywhere.
After a bit of walking back and forth, you see something on the path coming from Teleiat - a sort of figure with a huge hunchback, almost as if it was carrying a multitude of overstuffed packs. The thing is concealed in a large hooded cloak, so you can't make out any details other than its size.
It seems to have noticed you and gives a wave as it approaches your location.
Stored 20 mana into runic orb
You move to meet the creature half-way on the path.
"Hello there, my name is Vandolf. Who might you be?"
When it speaks, it has a sort of low-pitch chirp.

That can wait though - I've not seen anyone quite like you before, Jala. Where do you hail from?"

Waving over an inn associate, you purchase the button-down shirt + black dress pants set for 20 Aes, and the sleeping set for 15 Aes. Returning to the room, you give a knock and entering after you here a "come in."
Tabi is still wrapped in her towels, and you offer her the stacks of clothes, along with her coin purse.
Tabi: "Thanks."
After setting down the dressy clothes and coin purse on the desk, she retreats into the washroom for a minute before coming back out in the sleeping outfit, the faint scent of kiwi following her.
Tabi: "Are you going to take a wash too?" ____________________

After leaving the house and the gate, you spot a blue-cloaked telepath on the street who waves at you.
There he is. He'll come with us and wait outside the library, so don't worry about your secret stash of pictures being exposed to anyone else.
You (and Lucida) head for Mead, the telepath following as you exit Vranhal's south gate and take the cobbled road towards Mead.
After a bit of walking, you reach Gazebo's empty gazebo, the oversized ferret-dog nowhere in sight. ____________________

Jala: "I am from the temple of Motram, it is a little south of Nullam. If you wish to fight a beast from the forest, why not enter the forest? You will have a much better chance of encountering one than staying on the path."

Secret stash of- I have no idea what you are talking about. Oh look, Gazebo's gone, I wonder where he went!
So, odd request. Can I use some of your mana for construct practice? It's not often you meet someone who has a pretty much an endless mana wellspring with them.
