To be fair, it does give a bonus against vampires to a reader.Damn, I assumed that was Amrelath. I'll have to fix that later.
Didn't we ask her to write a book on Vampires instead?
I'll take this.
Yep.
The leader's book was lost durign fighting.
Hopefully, questioned daemons wil lreveal it's location and we could scry-and-loot it.

We had the main leader, or rather, the leader of "death" faction only for a short bit, if I'm not wrong.
We got daemon names out of her, some tacttica land strategic info, but not the book - it was certainly done by the guy with rot-knife that jumped one of or magelings. The "pestulance" faction leader.
Him we Dominated for a few days.

There were two leaders, one escaped (leading the Death faction, apparently) and one who lead the Pestilence faction, wore that suit of Valyrian Steel Fullplate which was enchanted but we couldn't figure out who to give it to. He was nearly dead from dragonfire, but remained alive enough to secure in the end. Go reread
Edit: Really, it looks like we're getting conflicting information here. I swear up and down Death faction leader escaped, and the pestilence one was alive. And was male.

There were two sects of Daemon Cultists -- Death, and Decay.
We captured the leader of the Death Cultists alive, and questioned him briefly and got a ton of names from him, but ultimately did not question him thoroughly enough to get a book out of it. I distinctly remember @egoo salting at us over this.
With the Decay cultists, the leader was killed in the field, and Rohar was the one we brought in. He was the only one available to dominate to write a book. Hence, the Canticle of Decay.

You mix up people ther, but otherwise that's basically it.

What a pretentious title for someone who is still halfway dead.

Stay close to me, just in case we got more of his ilk here." // Which means subdue him violently if necessary, but don't gut him like a fish.

I'm not ruling out that the priest has some measure of cunning in the gutter he calls a mind, but right now he is far more useful to us as a way to establish a rapport with the other guests. We want the important people to approach us after all and for that we need to look valuable and strong.

Well not to be labour a point but we do technically have a way to suss out criminals. The House of Mirrors can in fact divine and find all the crimes correct?

The leader didn't escape with the book - we just knew that it was taken by someone while fighting happened and never learned where it went.
Which is kinda bad, as it can spring up another cult like that easily.
Yup.
I pushed and pushed for Dominating someone to write us a book for months by then.
I got this, and left the idea alone, finally satisfied.

We should find that book.

A total lackey escaped with the main book of lore. We still need to find him at some point, if only for the sake of closure.
We got two important people in Tyrosh.
First was the leader of the Death Cultists, the one who was in the Segmented Reinforced Valyrian Steel Fullplate. All we really did with him was question him and get all the daemon names we knew, and then we proceeded to sacrifice him well before we had enough information for a book.
Rohar was the only other truly important cultist we captured. He wasn't the leader of the Decay faction at all (according to DP it was the Vitreous Drinker) but he knew enough to be dominated to write that book for us.

Yes, it definitely was Rohar. I did a Rina omake back then, which included him remarking about the fact that the Dominate on him was lifted for the duration of their talk.

I mean, duh.
I hope that the daemosn we summoned from Tyrosh ilands just a few days ago knew something. More likely than not they did.
And questioning should be easily backgrounded.
Which leads to Viserys, or some other companion, scry-and-dying the last few pockets of (dis)organised cultist resistance, if only to get the book - and the rest is up to inquisition.

Pretty sure it was provided and @egoo added the bonii to the library, whether it was added to the most up to date version of the library at the time I can't say.

I can confirm that the library score wasn't updated. I have a bunch of old posts in PMs that act as a record on this.
We definitely need it updated in response to the Valyrian lore.

Nnope, I just compiled the updated numbers back then and tagged DP, at no point did he give any answer to that.
Duesal's work is still viable, relevant, and highly-appreciated, however burnt out I on it.
EDIT: Ninjas are haunting this particular night.

No. Divination is vague, unreliable, and doing this kind of thing would demand incredible manpower that we just don't have. Each House of Mirrors Divination causes blindness for a while (a week, right? Something like that anyway), so we can't make excessive use of it either.
We use the House of Mirrors for strategic concerns, not tackling petty crime.

No, it was speaking in riddles for a day. Blindness was for Scry and also lasted only a day.
Also, we can make the divinations arbitrarily precise by employing good old Baysian Logic.
It's still a strategic level tool though. Using 10 IM per casting to catch petty thieves is insane.

Really, the descriptions don't support that.
Scorpions should have a base cost of 450, IIRC. Costs an extra 2500 go for the masterwork.

I was thinking more slavers and less petty thieves in all honesty.
