Kreemon opened the window and sat down in front of it. He could see the Paths, whether he wanted to or not. Where and when did they go? The paths were narrow, winding and endlessly intertwined. The hardest to follow led through time, but how far, and in what direction? At this point, all he could do was guess.
The stars and moons flew across the sky. Time was passing far too fast. How long was the night now? An hour or two? It was the twenty-fifth already, and it became the twenty-sixth as Kreemon watched. Midnight to dawn passed in three quarters of an hour.
Kreemon ate and lay down to rest. He dozed off, and when he woke, by the moons, two days had passed. It was speeding up.

“That would be an excellent idea, if our entire library hadn't been destroyed in the fire!”
“They must have left some clues somewhere.”
“Yes, in the library. Besides, it might not have been them.”

Before they could catch Kreemon listening to them, he traveled away.
He was in a spot not far from the destroyed library. The floor was cracked and uneven, and besides a cold draft coming down through a hole in the ceiling, the area was still hot from the fire.

The first time Kreemon came near a door, the guards gave him looks that said they knew he didn't belong. They were watching closely.
Kreemon continued shuffling around the main level, noting the locations of guards and trying to get the rest of the layout. People in the vast crowded entryway continually cried out to the priests, asking why Morenthplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigMorenth

Despite the number of priests and guards distracted by the crowd, and increasing number kept an eye on Kreemon. Finally, a young priest walked up to him and said, “The Great Hand brings strange times.”
Kreemon looked around to get his bearings, nodded, then rushed off. The nearest door was about eight yards away, so he pushed through the crowd. The priest didn't need to say anything. Guards were converging on Kreemon, the priests far enough behind to stay out of harm's way, but still following.

Further adding to his girth are the heavy robes he wears, well worn and covered in smudges. A long, deliberate … in the crystal chamber blocked the door. He was reaching for his sword as Kreemon bowled into him. Kreemon's first punch landed hard, bruising the guard's chest through the light armor he wore. Then the sword was drawn and the odds were a bit more even. The crowd turned in waves to face the melee, wondering what would cause a House Guard to draw his sword against a priest.
Kreemon backed away from the guard, while slipping his arms out of the sleeves of the stolen robe. He knelt down and curled his shoulders into a ball, then tossed the robe gently into the air. Before it could land, he travelled back to the common area below the boarding room, leaving the guards grasping at an empty cloak.

“You may have noticed that there is a barrier blocking anyone from leaving and that time is passing and more quickly with each hour.” The members of the group nodded, still looking at the icy ground. “I have returned from the grave to right what the priests have done. I have already set fires within their midst.”
“You have,” three of them said almost in unison. Then the rest agreed, some looking up at the trail of smoke which still curled in the still air above the Houseplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe House of Morenth
As the primary place of worship for a population of six thousand, the House of Morenth is an enormous structure, perhaps five or six hundred feet across at the longest, but it's not just one big rectangular building. It looks like it's been added to many times over hundreds of years. Whether the building is bigger or smaller underground is impossible to tell. It is known that a library exists under.
“To do this, I need some supplies, specifically onyx and ruby stones and scholarly-level black ink. The more you can gather, the better. Later, I may require more direct action, but not as of yet. Is this something you can accomplish?”
They looked at each other, hesitant to answer. “We will try,” the first one who'd spoken to Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon

No one was following him. Whoever people were shouting about, it wasn't him.
Kreemon barely had time to register a gasp of surprise and the crash of a tray of dishes in the boarding house before he traveled back to the chambers deep below the House of Morenthplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe House of Morenth

He made his way to the crystal chamber, where he found the party of five, and even the mouse skeletons, exactly where he'd left them. The explosions inside the hazy area had expanded a fraction of an inch at most in the time he'd been away.

It is known that a library exists under, into the middle of a dense crowd. People shouted and backed up, some yelling the by now familiar expletive, “Sorcerer!” Kreemon had wanted to ask around about Leera, but now he had other things to deal with.
Kreemon tried to slip through the crowd, but ended up having to force his way through. A harried priest stepped out of the Houseplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigThe House of Morenth

Those few who did found themselves to be no match for Kreemon, even tired as he was from his frequent travel along the Paths.
The chaos Kreemon created both ahead and behind prevented him from blending into the crowd. He found it harder and harder to press forward until his way was completely blocked. No, there was a gap, where only a couple people blocked his way. He shoved through, now panting from exertion. He tried yelling, “Sorcerer!” to act as one of the crowd, but it didn't work. It was many anxious minutes before the crowd was thin enough that he thought he could escape. Then he spotted three armed guards, swords drawn, coming his way. One enthusiastically raised his sword in the air and shouted, “Die, evil one!”
He was forced to escape.
