The first anomaly Report
General Summary
The Golems got their first taste of an anomaly zone, this one a series of floating islands hovering in a grey mist. They begin to explore the island they are on, looking for unusual things and trying to find a way to cross between the islands. Before they get too far they are attacked by a giant seagull, which poops on our poor clockwork golem. Quickly wiping off the offending goop before it can corrode his armour, they continue on to the edge and follow it. After a while the seagull comes back, with a friend. The two gulls attack the golems, a jumping smack to the face from Jade discourages the first one. Jeeves is not so successful with the second one, unable to get a good hit in. Jade comes to his rescue and the gulls quickly realise this is too much work for "not food" and fly off licking their wounds. They notice that there are small boulders and bits of land floating between the islands. Jade begins throwing off the edge and realises that eventually they stop falling and just hover there. An idea begins to form. They get around to another side of the island which seems to have more floating objects between it and the adjacent island. They think they can get across using the floaters as stepping stones. They make rope from some vines and discover some large mushrooms they might be able to use as gliding devices in case things go sideways. Jade hops across with the rope and Jeeves follows behind narrowly missing falling a cople of times. On the other side they find a ruined city overgrown with trees and foliage. As they make their through they notice that the shadows here seem to fall oddly, and some are darker than others. The pair move into the buildings to explore, they unthinkingly get too close to the shadows, one tries to grab Jade but he sidesteps just in time. Jeeves is not so lucky and one wraps around his ankle. He quickly moves away but not before the shadow takes a piece of his soul. Perturbed, the golems carry on staying out the shadows from now on. After a while they come across a plaza dominated by a completely intact building which also seems to cast no shadows. The sign above the door says Salvanthor Library. Entering the building they realise the place appears to still be being looked after, everything inside is clean neat and orderly. There is a distinct lack of books in this library though. A large polished reception desk holds a ledger and fresh ink and quill. Jade signs the ledger and removes one of his books to leave on the counter as he thinks this is how libraries work. Immediately a voice is heard behind them, it turns out to be a paper cutout frog which is very interested in the book. After some discussion, during whih the being changes into a cutout of a small child, they disover that the being claims to be the library. It seems to be fairly harmless and allows them to explore the library as long as they don't go to the third floor. It then shuffles off after telling them to ring the bell on the desk if they need more help. After a brief exploation and finding the lower floor to indeed be devoid of books, they ring the bell. The cutout appears again, this time in the form of a pirate captain. The golems converse with the being, and although it is slightly cryptic in it's answers does agree to a trade of information. providing they can be specific as to what info they want. The lack of a librarian means a lack of cataloguing of information and the help that goes along with finding the book you want. We end the session here

Character(s) interacted with
The library beame angry when they called it a librarian stating again it's claim that it IS the library. A convo between Jeeves and the library about creatures who can smell results in the being blurting out lists of information on the subjet. Jeeves gives up this line of conversation.
