"The libraries? Why didn't you say so" The duchess beams "We can get you to a library!"

"With time to spend there?" dubious.

"Baron, we're kids. If there's one thing we can do" the Duchess smiles "it's cause adults to waste a LOT of time and energy"

"Furkin booya" The nocker agrees

"We have our ways" The boggan girl grins

A disheartened shrug of acquiescence. "I am willing to try."

Cauly, Duchess of Dougal says "Jinxy, you get the Baron to the library with your portal passage, but don't leave with him for ten minutes. Della, spread some rumors that he was spotted climbing along the outter walls on the other side of the castle. Delby, go make something explode... mildly..."

"YES" The nocker grins

"And Slip, you better keep an eye to make sure none gets close to them in the library, look out. If you have to, ring that bell. THey'll know it means trouble"

The sluagh nods, and the team begins to break up, though August finds himself waiting with a black cat pooka.. err Jinxy.

If there's one thing August can do well, it's wait quietly.

The pooka checks a watch "I wonder what happens when the hour hits 13?" Then... "Time to begin operation Don't get your tail in a rocking chair" He motions to August to follow...

something in a distant hall is exploding

LIGHTLY

August follows the pooka, braced for impact.

Whatever the childlings are up to, it must be working as he finds a clear path down one hall, then another, then the cat goes.. "HIDE" And points towards a grandfather clock "There"

(Dex plus stealth for August)

/roll 3

August presses behind the clock and.. for a moment, nothing. August wonders if the pooka just pranked him, but then, a voice can be heard "I don't like it" A woman's voice "I could solve this with the simple use of my boon on the witch. The Gwydion gift is NOT That useless... but because of Ailil and Eiluned protests it's not admissable" //"Mind your manners, Squire. Politics is a dangerous game. Mmm we best go back and see what is going on" A male voice, older, and ... they are heading off

And when he sticks his head out again, the pooka , a cat, leads him to a wall, and swishes his tail in circles. A portal passage to the library opens. The kitten looks at him expectantly "mrroww?"

"Ahhhh...." he hesitates, and offers his hand for the kitten to step onto.

The kitten does so

And into the library they go to...
