The Great Library of Palanthas
Astinus' Office
Dominating the center of this room is a massive birch desk. Legend claims this desk has supported the thousands of volumes of history Astinus has recorded. A large pot of ink, a container of sharpened quills, and a candelabra complete the desks decorations. Small windows line the room, allowing light to trickle in and gently illuminate the entire room. A comfortable couch rests against the west wall. Tapestries hang on the walls between the windows. Shelves line the walls, filled with tomes of the more recent records of heroes and villians upon the face of Krynn.
The librarian notices you aren't reading anything... Astinus hands a miniscule pocket book to an Aesthetic standing by you. You note the spine bears the word 'Slimetoe' scribed in burnt grey ink. As you glance down at the page you read..
From the pages of Slimetoe's book..

Slimetoe grumbled as he walked down the side-trails, known only to the goblins, that bind the Miden'Ir and Goblin Stronghold" Slimetoe not messenger goblin.. he grumbles. "Why Slimetoe have to go tell Grumm about merchant? Merchant cant cant be smart merchant if merchant go by MidenIr." He stops rambling as he comes upon the first goblin guards. Nodding as he walked passed the goblin guards, he made his way into the throne room. Slimetoe bring great treasure he said, passing a note to a guard near Grumm, who proceeded to he made his way into the throne room. give the note to Grumm. "Used note not worth anything!!!!!! How goblins make this into treasure!?" Grumm screamed, flinging the note back at Slimetoe " Slimetoe eat too much gully dwarf" he said accusingly. "No, Slimetoe not crazy. Goblin Leader at MidenIr ambush merchants last night, he dragg one back, merchant told secret so we wouldnt kill him, merchant dead though. That secret merchant say what on note. Treasure map of words" Treasure map of words? Grumm not like words so much. But Goblin Chieftain has seen much of world, maybe he seen the secret." Waving Slimetoe off, Grumm went back to watching the beautiful Treasure map of words? Grumm not like words so much. But Goblin Chieftain has seen much of world, maybe he seen the secret." Waving Slimetoe off, Grumm went back to watching the beautiful dancing goblin. Nodding, Slimetoe fetched the Chieftain and they went off to find the secret. Sighing, Slimetoe whined " Slimetoe not want to walk! Slimetoe want warg!, or horse, or giant beetle, not feet." Shut up Slimetoe, we buy giant dragons to ride once we find treasure! Nodding, Slimetoe continued walking down the trail, fantasizing about horses to ride, and of course, eat. "Slimetoe hungry, walking for many days, no secret treasure he mumbled under his breath. But the gods seem to like Slimetoe, for a horse came thundering by the trail, with a powerful looking human on top of it. "Horse! Yes, Slimetoe will have his horse now." Looking at Slimetoe as if he was stupider then a gully dwarf the chieftain said "That looked like Dragon Leader Sai.. No, Sagy, Yes, that looked like Dragon leader Sagy, he could kill you without moving." Then Slimetoe will wait until he sleeps. Walking into the tree line, Slimetoe moved forward as the man jumped from his horse and continued forward into the forest. Slimetoe, wondering what he could be doing, followed him. Slimetoe followed the man for a ways until he came upon another man. Seeing the man attack the new comer, Slimetoe and the chieftain ran into the fray hollering wildly, until they saw the barbarian ish person fall down, crushed, so they continued running past the other man deeper into the woods, hiding. "Maybe Slimetoe not steal horse" he said with a shutter. "Hey, shiny blue thing" Slimetoe walked over and picked up a strange looking note, grinning, he brought it back to the Chieftain "Look what Slimetoe found" he said with a grin.

Slimetoe walked down the Neraka Forest, well, probably, well A forest.. Sighing Slimetoe thought to himself Stupid merchant, had to blather about treasure before Slimetoe kill him. Now Slimetoe have to go look for treasure. Stupid treasure. Sighing, Slimetoe continued walking down the path, cursing his feet for not being able to fly. However, he started hearing a man walk down the street, onto the path, looking around, he decided to climb a tree. Climbing the tree, Slimetoe promptly fell down back onto the ground, thankfully, he fell behind the tree. Watching the man walk by, Slimetoe continued following him back at a distance, often losing sight of the man when he tripped or was distracted by something in the dirt. He followed the man for about half an hour before the path cleared into a clearing with several other men and a wagon. Slimetoe watched from behind a tree as the strange man he had been following slaughtered the other two, staring at something on the ground for a bit, and then left on a horse that he thought belonged to the dead men. "That look like dragon leader Cagey, no Sagey Yes, Dragon leader Sagey.. Slimetoe remember seeing him somewhere. Nodding, Slimetoe remembered seeing him in the big town with all the scary lizard men. Scanning around the clearing, making sure no one was left around, Slimetoe creeped up to the corpses and started rummaging around, seeing nothing of particularly interesting, he went to see what had apparently interested Dragon leader Sagey so much. Slimetoe grinned as he saw the words in the dirt "That look like words that merchant said, only different.. Wonder what it say? Scanning around, Slimetoe noticed another goblin nearby. While he walked up to the goblin, he hoped it could read. He was certain that was the clue the stupid merchant had been looking for, if only someone could read it to him. Then the treasure would be his!
