Aug 23, 2023
The party hunts a mysterious Book of Evenfall in a sprawling, trap-filled library. Brass globes, torn sky charts, and missing maps hint at a larger conspiracy. Magic items appear, identities shift, and a fanny pack becomes an extradimensional oddity. Swarms of dread moths and a sneeze-triggered trap turn quiet stacks into chaotic combat.

Episode notes
Chip Finds A Cryptic Note From Carol
- Chris Demarais finds a mysterious note from his missing wife Carol that directs the party to Lahim's Library and the Book of Evenfall.
- The note is written in Thieves' Cant and includes cryptic lines: "He has the book of Daybreak" and "A gift lies in the stars."
Use Wellspring For Quick Hit Die Recovery
- The DM offers a practical short-rest option: bathing in the Wellspring recovers hit dice and a small amount of healing.
- Using the wellspring restores two hit dice plus Constitution modifier and removes exhaustion for some characters.
Library Layout Drives Split Search Tactics
- Lahim's Library layout mixes public reading spaces, stacks, cubbies and a brass globe, which directs how the party splits to search.
- The DM uses environmental cues (globe, fountain, cubbies, spiral staircase) to create simultaneous explores and encounters.
