[MEDIUM] The Return
POV Apollo
After our little visit to the mage's mysterious library , Odessa decided after studying one of this rude books that we should return to the library to retrieve the left of loot and gear we might have dropped. I agreed to the idea since now we know more . Odessa's wisp hid away , they did not like the flying books and decided to follow us from afar on our way back to the library. Nyx and wisp were a little slower as they attended to each other bruises , no one was badly hurt but we did leave with some bumps and bruises. I still haven't spoken up about anything so the group is now fully convinced im mute tho im really not. Hopefully I will gain some guts at some point. I can't get rid of the past and I have been having more nightmares of ... anyways we are here now so let's just collect our stuff and continue our journey.
" So when we get there I will take care of the books and distract them . You three grab loot and gear ok ? " Odessa said spilling a great plan. I nodded and agreed .
" Sweet I really don't like those books , thank you for the sacrifice " Nyx said with a bit of a laugh
" in and out or should we look more ? " asked wisp
" do as you please , just be quick " Odessa answered
as we reach the library I looked around to make sure there was no extra trouble. The library looked the same as we left it. We all entered the library and went through with the plan , Odessa distracted the books while everyone else ran around grabbing the gear and loot we had left while making a retreat. As I ran around looking for some of our gear and loot I noticed a strange glow in the corner of my eye. I grabbed a peice of our gear and some loot before going towards the glow. I moved some books and other objects off of it to reveal a strange pendant. It was made of silver and gold with a decently size amethyst stone in the pendant. ' what an interesting piece of loot ' I thought. I stuffed it in my loot bag along with some books for cooking.
" guys hurry I can on,y keep them focused on me for so long " Odessa shouted
I met up with nyx and we ran out of the library , we waited for Odessa and wisp but they didn't appear. Suddenly wisp came tumbling out with Odessa following suit. They fell and stumbled on top of wisp. A book followed after and hit Odessa in the rump twice before flapping back into the library. Nyx bursted out laughing at such a since and I myself smiled and looked away trying not to laugh. As soon as we made sure all the loot and gear was recovered from the mage's library we found a spot nearby to rest up before going on our merry way.

You discover the brittle remains of a mage's library, complete with collapsed shelves of ancient volumes. As you approach one to appraise the value of its contents, the books begin to stir. At once, frenzied tomes fly from their perches, flapping through the air to swoop and dive at your party. Throughout the attack, each shrieks its contents in languages you can't understand. "
