A Conclave of Mages

by Draco Alatar

A rather peculiar and interesting offer has been made to the mages of Glenhaven. To assist and aid one another in the pursuit of magic! A glorious stupendous idea indeed, it does perplex me quite a bit that I did not devise this plan myself. The gathering of magic is set for to take place at the SongBird's Hollow hosted by Ivellios, one of the more notable characters in this quaint hamlet. We meet where we procure a private table and begin to delve into each other's arcane knowledge. Amongst me are Lulu and Audey, appear to be rather straightforward Wizards, Adrian a Bladeslinger and a Fighter by the name of Breg. I am always ecstatic to meet a meat shield that will gladly toss his shield and body in front of mine for honor and glory, they are quite useful and usually a necessity.

An empty Tome, my set of quills/ink and off through the portal to this mystical plane.
 
Inside of this plane, we encounter quite a few different sentries and mechanical constructs, please refer to Tome: Mechanus An Adventurer's Guide, for further details. However vastly more important, this realm is loaded with magical tomes, scrolls and books farther than the eye can see. During my short stay, I was able to procure 3 scrolls (Ray of Enfeeblement, Levitate, (Both will be added to spellbook shortly, and Otiluke's Resilient Sphere) as well two tomes that will be immediately added to my personal library. One of particular interest being, Common Misconceptions Regarding the Tiefling Race, an Infernal Legacy.
 
Either this shall not be the last I see of Peter or that wonderful arcane lidden plane known as Mechanus
