Vershab follows the curator into the library with a wide smile on his face. "It doesn't matter how often I visit, I am always impressed by this wonderful place," he says quietly. Then he turns to the guide and asks, "How much is customary for a donation to peruse this portion of the stacks?"

After receiving an answer and paying the donation, Vershab looks at his allies and says, "Your help will be very valuable - there are simply too many books for one person to read them all at once outside of high magics slowing the passage of time. If you will collect books likely to contain the information we seek and bring them to me, I will see if the books contain clues to our riddle. Shall we begin?"
