— Session 13: Into the Underdark Report  

  Bastion reads The Magic of Stone and the Souls of Mountains Theoderus Stoneblood This thesis is more about mountains and rocks, but also goes into dwarven magics often used in caves and mines.   it's kind of boring. It goes into mountains of rocks. It also goes into, like, some of the dwarven magics that were used. When there are caves and mines. There's a lot of notes throughout, though, that are written. The whole book seems to be handwritten, but there's times where all of a sudden there's like different types of runes and sigils that you you're able to recognize with your intelligence that it's probably in Dwarven. What you learn, though, is, um, and definitely reading this thing, it seems like the the, the author is a little is centric. Um, at times as he kind of goes into the East centricity and minutia of mountain mining and the differences between different types of rocks, but without any other investigation or looking into what the dwarven stuff is, that's pretty much what you get from it.

  Not so great a roll, so no real change: very informative about dwarves, mining techniques, and materials. Most of the metals, Gem, and hardstones are discussed herein. goes into tangents, the author was a bit crazy. He wrote this on a whim. The Magic of Stone and the Souls of Mountains  

— Session 55: The Siren's Call Report  

  Bastion perused the The Sprocket Brothers Catalog. Then spent three hours reading The Magic of Stone and the Souls of Mountains as he was sure he could learn more from it. (INT: 18) This time he reads more about the dwarves, the mining techniques, the materials they use. And then a code seems to be hidden in the pages, he starts taking notes as he reads through it. He learns a bit about the author, Theoderus is the author of the book. He was a Dwarf. He was, the centric and inclusive Wizard. He lived in a small subterranean sanctum. And as you sort of, kind of learning about this mad Dwarf, you realize in here is a, recipe on how to make a Sending Stone. There seems to be still be more he could learn from this book... (mechanics: only can learn 1 extraordinary thing at a session, if there are such things to learn.) this was a three hour event.
