Thank you for doing the Maker's work around here! <3 Also hope you feel better. If not: have a virtual blanket and tea. If you feel like it and haven't done them: codex prompts 24 and 28 for either your oldest Rook (old as in age)
24. A letter from Rook to a faction leader 28. Propaganda for or against Rook
Thank you! <3 Hopefully I will be able to sleep for more than 2 hrs eventually lol
The Rook Codex prompts are [here] ! Have answered 2, 3, 13, 15, 16, 17, 21, 24, 26, 30, and I’m working on 28!
In the meantime, have 24! (I’ll do a separate post when I finish 28!)
Dear Myrna and VORGOTH,
It’s Rook. You remember— I deal with the hauntings. And the undead dragon, etc.
Emmrich said that you might be able to answer some of my questions about the Necropolis, since his voice gave out two hours ago. Here are the most pressing:
If someone is interred in the Necropolis and subsequently reanimated, can they then leave the Necropolis? For business reasons? Also, would they still be liable for any crimes they committed after their death?
Can you replace my skull with that of a large bird?
I have observed that there are MANY skeletons in the Necropolis who have weapons. Is that purposeful? Can I have weapons, as a skeleton?
Is the Mourn Watch interested in making a business arrangement with my employer? We do sometimes acquire extraneous skeletons.
How often do you need to feed the flesh-eating beetles? They only eat dead things, right? (URGENT)
The Necropolis moves. My house also moves, sometimes. Do you know how to get the Necropolis to follow instructions? The Lighthouse is very stubborn.
How many stairs are there in the Necropolis (best estimate)?
You may have noticed that I am excellent at re-killing the undead. Is that a job I can continue to have, as a skeleton?
Are the flowers in the garden magical? Do you need help growing them? Do you think we could grow them in the Fade?
How feasible is it to export large quantities of that spirit alcohol? Think they would love it in Antiva
Do you have any experience retrieving bodies from waterways? Do not want to to leave the Antaam corpses in the canals
If someone dies and then gets possessed by a demon, what is the most efficient way to kill them again? Need to settle an argument
VORGOTH, are you a ghost? Emmrich is too polite to ask.
Emmrich says you won’t answer this, but I’ll ask, anyway: Is the King of Nevarra alive? The First Talon would like definitive confirmation, either way
The skull of Johanna Hezenkoss says she left some of her books in the Necropolis, and that we can’t play her game unless she has them back. Do you know where they are?
Additional questions enclosed. Thank you for your time, &c.
[Five additional pages of questions are attached to the letter.]

P.S. My sincerest apologies if Rook has given any offense— please do not feel obligated to respond to this letter, and I shall do my best to divert any further questions from your desk. — Prof. E. Volkarin
