I'm gonna be honest, there's a lot of fair points to be had about the sheets being ew. Vampires are far from sanitary, and their bedsheets are probably worse, assuming you can't count on their "noble" pride to keep them clean. I don't even really want to use them. I do, however, find it absolutely fucking hilarious when a quest breaks into some big bad's home and loots everything down to the bedrock, including even the most mundane and random shit. I'm just imagining Vlad and Isabella standing together and staring at the bed as they ask why. It's too bad we already have a super fancy chair, and Vlad doesn't have a nice throne or something.

Again, Wsoran, the guy who wrote the scroll, also wrote a book that sends people insane:

Grimoire Necronium

The Grimoire Necronium is a powerful necromantic tome. It was created by W'soran, one of the first vampires and the only one to remain loyal to Nagash. In exchange, the arch-necromancer allowed W'soran to study his own tomes of sorcery, the Nine Books of Nagash. W'soran combined their lore with...

You, uh, did catch that these are copies, right? They're not the original version that he would have had a hand in making.

As I understand it W'Soran didn't write the scroll, someone else recorded his stream of consciousness thoughts.

The Grimoire isn't a trap. It's literally just so depressing that it causes people to go insane. I don't see that the dictation helps here. And so I doubt that this is gonna be any better.

The danger is the text itself, frequently. Making a copy doesn't make it safe.

Since we seems to be collecting Vlads notes, he's almost becoming a secret pen pal of ours. So I say we take his sheets, set up a secret room for him in our tower, and when he eventually comes back we can be all "Vlad buddy! Don't you worry I got a pad just for you, now I need help understanding what you wrote here in the margins. Why did you write 'Turn to page 69 for a fun surprise'?"

Here we have a book bound in flesh and yet I find the ramblings of Nagash's little buddy more concerning.

Might I suggest voting for Amarium - > Manhovak; so they'll be able to cash in to the Morrites for credibility?

Considering how many necromantic secrets we're dabbling on the edges of, I'd prefer to build up our own credibility with the Morrites. Considering the overwhelming lead that just taking them for ourselves has I think it's probably pretty moot though.

That is overly alarmist. If it is trapped there is ways to untrap it. And that is Grey Wizard specialty. We are literally trained for this.

And when I say literally I mean literally. Melkoths age was noted as being benign version of such traps and it was the introduction to how Mathilde was trained presumably with further training coming along later.

So I think we are good.

I'm fairly sure the plan is, once we've recruited some scribes, to use our Great Deed to copy all the texts in a larger, more established library to fill out our shelves. That'll satisfy the breadth and depth requirements of our library, so I feel we should be focusing on obtaining unique texts for prestige points.

We already used one Deed on the library, right? I feel like we want to keep one around for its original political purposes. We may need to shift an Elector Count vote someday for (e.x.: ) Wizard Emperor Mandred

Either it's unsafe, and we should destroy it so no one can read it, or it's safe and anyone can read it, including foreign witch hunters. You can't have it both ways where it's too dangerous to read, but safe enough to give away.

Since destroying it isn't an immediate option, we should assume that Mathilde—a fully trained Grey Wizard who's mind and soul is intentionally warded against such attacks—has deemed reading it to be safe. Besides, he didn't even write it—it's a copy of a transcription of what he said, written by a nearby scribe. The originals are still located within the Priory of the Spear.

Frankly, the most dangerous item we have found is Vlad's notes on the Carstein Ring, and that's only dangerous because studying the works of the Great Necromancer is an Article violation, and if anyone found out it would be all fire and swords.

We used the deed on the branch college, the library came from Belegar's transcendent boon.

No, no, no. What's next? Silk sheets but they're inexplicably at the bottom of an orcish communal spittoon?

I'm beginning to think a fair number of voters have something against silk sheets out of principle. Awfully suspicious if you ask me.

The whole point of this expedition was to get books and lore, and to improve our ability to get shit done with our projects, and in my opinion that's best served by keeping this stuff rather than trading them away in hopes of favors later.
