Session 23 - The Library of All Knowledge

Nedra and Jeddak spent time talking to Shrakaa and Dakahep, two of the leaders of the githzerai monastery. Shrakaa seemed to suspect that the party were the Dogs of War and was very suspicious of them. Dakahep seemed to be an ally, clearly hating the modrons that were staying at the monastery. He showed them the sigil sequence for the teleportation circle at the monastery so they could return at will. As they spoke with him, he made it known that he was aware of the location of the Lone Modron. He sent the party with one of the monks on a boat to find the Lone Modron.

Upon arriving, they found the modron in a very disturbed state. He had quite a bit of damage to his mechanical components and his flesh was suffering from some kind of illness. Nedra and Jeddak spent time repairing and healing his wounds. They decided to call him Zaphod. Zaphod told the party what little he knew, that the modrons seemed to be under the influence of some outside force. He said the thought that Primus, the modron leader, was replaced by a non-modron with some kind of agenda, but he didn't know what it is. This was the reason he left modron society. The party took him to the Wall of Vapors and made sure he could contact Pylympe. While Pylympe was there, they instructed him to ask Zyndar to look into the strange virus that the Lone Modron had contracted, thinking it might be usable as a weapon against the modrons.

The party decided that their next goal should be the Library of All Knowledge in Brux in the Beastlands. They used a Planeshift scroll to arrive at the library. It was a deceptively small stone building in the forests of Brux where two suns hover opposite each other on the horizons. It was nearly deserted, with just a few people studying. The scholars were proxies for the deities Oghma, Deneir, and Milil. There was one, worshiper of Oghma, who looked like young boy. He was named Elmert. He was deeply knowledgeable and helped the party find the Zenythri preceptor the sought. The preceptor was in the library, but it was in a box which was locked. When they touched the box, the entire party was transported into an arena and had to battle modrons until they were able to solve a puzzle and open the box.

In addition, Augustus found a book about the modron god-king Primus. There was a section aparently about the Adaranth, but it had been removed.
