Historical Details
History
The desk has many maps and a book called "The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces" ... When Shadow in the Snow went through the notes and Journal of Tharros, she saw the word Scepter, and she had said the word with then revealed a shimmering rectangle in the air, a door. It disappeared after apx. 15 seconds. It also has its location based on where she was at the time; it seems—possibly attached to the book, [The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces]+. They have the word to get in, but possibly not the same to get out.

They decide to cast Detect Magic, and so they pull out the Books, including the The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces which seems to be coming apart in some magical way, and then the statue from Tharros Underdark Hideout "Near" Outding Refuge which comes alive as a real Imp.The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces by Fistandia "Kind of as it looks like it's kind of fraying on some of the edges and throughout it almost kind of like it's getting kind of bare thin a bit. But as those parts that look like they're fraying, you kind of look at it and it looks like you're actually looking into like the night sky kind of thing." ~The DMBastion has a bit of insight as he recalls Tharros the Wanderer bringing up this book in the Metallic "Water Well" in the Feywild when they were in the Feywild. He had said the book doesn't work anymore, it was a one-time use thing anyways. So, it's hard to discern exactly what he may or may not have known when he said that.The Imp comes alive and starts going for the book. Sas screams for someone to grab the Imp before it gets to the book, and so she goes to grab it, but the Imp gets away and goes Invisible. He then tries to grab the book from Bastion. Shadow uses her Ring of Alertness to cast See Invisibility. She sees him investigating the mirror. She then leeps to grab him. As she grabs he flutters up with his wings. She points him out, he is above me! Barlo goes to grab him, the Imp tries to bite at Barlo and it doesn't get through the Armor, and he is now visible. As he is about to fly away, Barlo grabs him. Shakes it and says: "Turn back into a statue." It starts cursing in Infernal, and then in common: "what am I doing here? What are you doing with the book?" Shadow in the Snow: "What do you want the book for?" Bastion Bladesinger: "What is the book?" Strange Imp Statue: "It's. It's a book. I was supposed to protect it." Shadow: "Who is the book?" Bastion: "Why is the book?" Barlo: "We got the book now. So you're going to protect it with us? Not from us." Strange Imp Statue: "It looks like you guys have been destroying the book." Sas: "How? it's been in our bag." Imp: "Yeah, but it wasn't a regular bag, was it? That's why I've been gone for so long." Shadow: "Yeah. You been in a bag too." Bastion: "Whoa, hold on to that thing. I cast Identify on the book."
This book is a unique item with a permanent hidden Mordenkainen's Magnificent Mansion attached to those who hold the book and say the magical word. "Scepter", which also helps you leave the mansion. Because the party had put the extradimensional space book into an extradimensional space (Bag of Holding) it was tearing the book apart, but the protective Crystal was slowing down this process. If this is put back in the Bag of Holding it will tear them both apart into the Astral Plane. The mansion has been released from its tether and is not there anymore.Shadow: "It's not going to hurt to give him a broken book." Barlo: "You guys wanna give him the book?" Shadow: "There's nothing in it anymore..." Barlo: "What's going was this little guy going to do. What does he want to.. can you help us?" Imp: "Hmm?... It's not.. that... I help you with what? Bastion: "Can you repair the book?" Imp: "I'm not. I'm not a Wizard. I don't. I just work for one." Bastion: "Can you help me repair the book?" Imp: "I don't have that kind of power. No." Bastion: "Do you have the knowledge?" Imp: "No, I don't have that kind of knowledge." Shadow: "You were looking at the mirror. Do you know how to get out of here?" Imp: "I've used some mirrors for travel." Shadow: "And." Imp: "I was trying to see if this might be one of the mirrors I might know how to use for travel." Bastion: "And" Imp: "it doesn't seem like one of the mirrors. I know how to travel through, otherwise I would have traveled through it." Barlo: "You sure you didn't have much time to take a look at it?" Imp: " I Oh...." Barlo: "Where are you going to go? Well, if I let you go, what are you going to do? Yeah, somewhere you need to be real quick or something. I mean, you've been a statue for days. Months? Shit. Years, .." Shadow: "Years!" Imp: "Well, I was supposed to protect that book, but I've also been kind of cursed. I think that kind of drove that." Bastion: "Well, because you well, let's go back to this curse. How were you cursed?" Imp: "I was captured by a Wizard long time ago. That curse been kind of tied. My existence, that book and that. But seeing that what you guys put on, destroying the Books like you did, it's kind of cut in that tie as well." Shadow: "and you're going to die?" Bastion: "You're still around." Imp: "And I'm no longer bound to the book." Bastion: "Oh, you're no longer bound to the book now." Imp: "That's what it seems that." Bastion: "Well, then, why did you want the book?" Imp: "It was just, uh. . " Shadow: "habit!" Imp: "..Yeah, there you go. But now I'm starting to realize as I, I don't feel, feel the tie anymore." Bastion: "I, I, I'm, I'm thinking that this guy's lied to us ..." And he does a bit of insight checking. Bastion's Insight Check... They give the The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces book to Likkec. |Session 42: A Deal with a Devil ReportImp: "If I could figure out who the Wizard was maybe I can hire you guys. I don't really have anything to hide you with. I could probably ..." Bastion: "Well, if you are no longer tied to this book, what would it take for you to be, say, in our employment?" Imp: "I'm not really looking for work. If you want. I mean." Bastion: "Well, that's a shame." Imp: "Besides that, you guys aren't exactly the kind of caliber that I tend to work, tend to serve or work for." Bastion: "And what does that mean?" Shadow: "Racist much." Imp: "Not so much. Race. It's you guys are just a little bit too goody shoes two shoes for me." Bastion: "Oh, maybe you should change your tone." Imp: "I mean, do you guys know what I am? I'm an Imp. I'm so from the Nine Hells. I don't exactly work for good people, if you will." Bastion: "But what you don't want to do with the devil." Barlo: "Doesn't mean you have to work for evil assholes either. Come on, we can make a deal. Be like they can deal. Don't you?" Imp: "I like making deals." Barlo: "Oh." Shadow: "What you see would be to us, to be honest" Barlo: "that's true." Barlo: "I mean, that's true. We don't really need them. Shadow: "And a statue in our bag. Barlo: "Yeah, well, you want to go home then? Like I send you home. Imp: "How can you send me home, huh? How can you send me home? Barlo: "I can rip your wings off and smash your head in. Well, that sends you back to the hell's. Imp: "That's one way of getting there. And that's not one I'd prefer, that's for sure. Shadow: "Yeah, but you'll, won't you? Remake yourself? In the Hells and you'll be fine." Imp: "No, it doesn't exactly work that way." Bastion: "You Sure?" Imp: "Yes." Barlo: We can definitely force his hand into working for us. Shadow: but For what? Barlo: I mean, yeah, use them as a scout, use them as I don't know but it decorate someone's mantle too. Shadow: I mean what's our bargaining chip? We won't kill you, but I mean, really keep him tied to us. Barlo: Nothing in the Books no longer any bit of any interest to him. He doesn't need protect anymore because it's destroyed, basically. Okay. Shadow: I mean, he could be food for Artie, but. Bastion: Just give him to Artie. Shadow: Hungry, buddy? Bastion: "So. So. Okay, so let's make a deal. How can we help you get back?" Imp: "I don't need your guys help. You can just let me go and I can figure out my own way, right?" Bastion: "Oh, we'll let you go on the guarantee that I don't know what." Shadow: "Don't fuck us over." Imp: "Why would I fuck you over? If anything, it seems that through happenstance and whatever, you guys kind of freed me from a curse." Shadow: "...Ignorance..." Barlo: "That's true. There's nothing you would want for any sort of compensation for assistance." Imp: "Nothing I can think of." Barlo: "Help us. Nothing." Imp: "It just be nice to be able to kind of stretch myself, stretch my legs and wings a bit, since it's been a while." Barlo: "Well, all right. Well, before we let you go, then, what do we call you? What's your name? Case. We meet again." Imp: "Oh, well, it's been a while. I can't really give you what my real name is, but." Shadow: "Sure, you can." Imp: "no and I really can't. But what I can tell you is that most people call me, Likkec." Barlo: "Like kick?" Bastion: "Likkec is your real name?" Likkec: "More like a common name." Shadow: "We have power over him if we know his real name. Don't have any use for him." Barlo: "I don't really care that you guys do. Wanna give him the tattered book anyways? I mean, can you do anything with this book? Repair it." Likkec: "But maybe I can use it to find the person. That cursed to me." Bastion: "And then what would you do? Likkec: "Oh, not sure yet. Barlo: "But I could help you. All right, well, since you're going to go look. Shadow: "Who Cursed you? Tharros? Likkec: "I honestly, at this time, I don't who was a curse? And that's what I'm saying. Since whoever was a curse pertaining to that book, that book might be helpful to figure out who was .. Shadow: "okay. Barlo: "Yeah, I have no problem. Let them go. I mean, is going to go after the person that. Cursed him seems fine by me. I do the same thing. Shadow: "Yeah. Just don't fuck us over. Barlo: "Hey can either assistance this look me up and. Bastion: "This really quick Bartolo before you let him go. Barlo: "Sure. Bastion: "I'm going to cast Identify on him. Shadow: "Have you always been able to turn into a garden Gnome?" Bastion's Identify finds no current spells affect it. Likkec: "Your spell tells you that I'm no longer cursed... nice." Bastion: "Yeah. Likkec: "Very interesting. Bastion: "I would like to make one amendment to letting you go. Likkec: "Okay. Bastion: "If you find who was able to make this book and bind you to it before you do anything, I would like you to come and tell it who It was. Likkec: "Hmm. Barlo: I'm going to be able to help you. Likkec: "So if you give me the book, you want me to come and tell you who was that cursed me. Bastion: "Mm hmm. Likkec: "Interesting. Barlo: "One little reason we had this book was trying to find out whose it was." Shadow: "Yup." Likkec: "I can do that. And while we're making. Hmm. Yeah, I will try the. How would I find you, though? Shadow: "Figure it out. Barlo: "Yeah. You know, we look like you know my name. Bastion: "You're from another dimension. Likkec: "Okay. Yeah, I'll see what I can. I will definitely I will try to honor that deal. Because a deal is a deal.he seems honest, if not just confused. You don't pick up any lies, He is studying you all though
The party initially reviewed it, later gave it to Likkec.
