The library officer pressed his thin goatee between his fingers as the band of misfits hastily asked for access to the Inner Archive.
Alright, so, you're adventurers, right...
And you say you're with House Cannith... I assume you have your papers?
Oh, this... is wet parchment. So you went underwater. I see.
His brow rose highly as he assessed the group, and then, as the group's spokesman tried to embellish over the importance of their mission, the officer raised his hand and concentrated his gaze toward his desk.
Oh, wait... Yes... It would seem that you have friends in high places indeed. Korlita Yulgeri from the Chronicle sends her regards.
The officer stood up and pulled open a long drawer from which he took a few copies of a paper form, and gave each party member a copy.
In any case, I will need to register you all with our records before you can enter the Korranberg library of House Sivis, in order to establish a level of trust. I take it you have spellcasters between you?
More paperwork was given to those in the group who cast spells.
In any case, make sure to visit one of the Civil Service Bureaus; paperwork such as this gets done a lot faster through their identification service; pretty useful when you spend a lot of time in Zilargo.
As the party finished up, the officer called a few guides, who seemed positively well-armed for just being guides. In the end, the party entered the Inner Archive.
