Information Discovered

The heroes discover information that they lifted from the remains of Barnard Athelbrooke.

Plot points/Scenes

The heroes have found a note on Athelbrooke from Lord Diablos asking that Grimmaz is to be killed at all costs and it is the will of his masters that this happens. A name is mentioned: Dassem Luqman (name meaning: Unknown Wise one). It appears to be wrote in cuneiform with a translation into Saxon below it. Also, they find three pages of a cuneiform script and a mention of these being from a grimoire copied from an older source called: The Pnakotic Manuscripts.   If the heroes query people like Father Tossil or Emon Kanis, they can find out that the Pnakotic Manuscripts are ancient indeed and not generally found on Earth now. They seem to appear only in a realm known as the Dreamlands, but parts of it sometimes appear to magic users through out-of-body experiences, and they transcribe the information down afterwards as if they are in a trancelike state. Afterwards they have no memory of it but somehow can use the information. Most of it is in ritual spell form, and there is the chance that there are 1 to 3 spells there 1d3 and are of the Evocation or Necromancy schools. Any hero with access to spells can use them once & once only unless they have a way to transcribe it across to a spell book or with access to a patron creature or deity.   How they use this information is up to them. In the meantime, an assassin will try to take out at least someone in the group or people close to them. Who this is, is random. Lord Diablos and/or a blood drinking vampire may appear too looking to clean up any mess by his servants or associates.
