in the library

Gale admitted he had the Tome of Understanding

books are all incredibly well taken care of
no words appear when held over fire

Percy took a "blank" scroll and book

Golden marble staircase with black marble railing
6 rotted wooden crates in the middle of the room
amber coated walls carved to look like tentacles entwined around marble reliefs of royalty attended by slaves
3 alcoves with tall, rough blocks of amber - is solid even in the ethereal plane
inside:
silver teardrop shape - bell briefly senses power
Percy heard, almost silky and with deep and ancient tones "do you desire the power live a life beyond death?" "then your first death with not be your unmaking. you shall have power long after" (X42 west)

with that, you gain the understanding that to meet unlock this gift you must:
- The beneficiary slays another humanoid that loves or reveres him or her, then drinks the dead humanoid’s blood within 1 hour of slaying it.
- The beneficiary dies a violent death at the hands of one or more creatures that hate it.

black ooze
when Percy touched this one and heard a graveled voice say "you are worthy, but you are not powerful enough yet. return when you are stronger and I can grant you power beyond the scope of your mortal abilities" (from DM: X42 South)

small, black sphere, seems dense and textured?
Percy heard a clear voice in his head when he touched it: "Do you wish to accept a gift returning those lost to life again? Zhudun the Corpse Star offers this gift to those powerful and willing" (from DM: X42 East)

2 wide cracks in the south wall with rubble - 10 ft tall
statue inside - hawk-headed humanoid. also inside: 6 piles of treasure. bell touched one and the hawk came to life.

percy took a golden skull with garnet eyes

questions for DM:
is my alignment still CN?
what does "hatred" mean?
is a humanoid a creature?
