Elma gives Jotna a weak smile and nods.

"A-all right. As long as they’re not poisonous. It would be bad luck if the person who saved me died before I got to."

She has no idea what the note says, just notices there are no more books falling and no more librarian. She looks around to see if anything valuable got left behind like before. Then she joins Borda to light the way to Malista.

OOC:
@Esidrix Friendly reminder that you didn't roll yet.
Elma

You find a book about gardening. If you read it, it seems to have no significance to this quest.
Jotna

You find a scroll. However it's not a spell. The title reads "Yuri's Manifesto". If you read the rest of it, roll a DR12 presence test. If you fail, you lose 1 presence permanently. If you succeed you'll gain 1 instead.

Jotna's brows furrow as she tries to grok the manifesto... Eventually, she sees it coming into view as comprehension sets in!

Seeing the others are more interested in searching than leaving, Borda will take a minute to look around.

Borda

You find an unmarked bottle with a liquid that shifts between red and green. Do you have any idea what it could be?

Jotna looks to the others and nods, saying, "Well, let's see what awaits us in the dining room..." And she heads in.

After looting the room, you advance to the dining room. As you may have expected, Malista is seated there waiting for you. The room as well as she looks as radiant as ever. "Well done, dreamers." She says but then changes her mid. "No, heroes!" She once again gestures you to take a seat and indulge in the food and drink on the table. But she doesn't insist since the illusion has already been revealed.
Lady Malista

"You have vanquished my assailant. For that I am grateful. Though the evil isn't destroyed, I doubt it will have the chance to regain its power before I leave this place. So for now I have the needed time to prepare my journey." She tells you. "I will uphold my end of the deal and give you a worthy reward. Within my powers, of course. Then you are free to leave."

She looks over at the beds. "Or, if any of you changed your mind, I can still offer you the life of your dreams." She raises an eyebrow, curious to see your reaction.
OOC:
Each of you can let us know which reward you get from Malista. What would your character ask from this divine being and how does it manifest itself?
A magical item? A new skill? All the money you can carry? The only limit is that she would never make you as powerful as she is herself.

Jotna asks for a family, a home of others like her -- lizard people, perhaps, or shape changers -- that can be her new family, safe for as long as can be expected before it all ends.

Elma is about to ask for her dream of a home away from trees and alone. But she looks at Jotna who saved her and the people who have taken her out of the sewers. Maybe she could work on that eventually. She looks at the bejeweled collar and then the fancy papers she has been gathering.

"I-I’m ready to know what is written here. What is written everywhere. I-I want to be able to read now."
