| Rinn checked around the room for traps and finding none, turned his attention to the desk and the book. It’s a red leather book with no writing on the outside and a slip of paper sticking out of it. Rinn invited Snoggly to come in and check it out. Rinn slipped a piece of parchment into the book where the note was sticking out, to keep its place marked in the book, and passed the note to Snoggly to examine. The note read as follows. | Rinn checked around the room for traps and finding none, turned his attention to the desk and the book.

| - | This “Devil Strahd” is more than a vampire who gained a position of power. He is one with the ancients, a mystery to these people, and a fearsome presence that has led these simple Barovians to believe his power is omniscient. Perhaps in a way, he is. The land has granted its favor to him, and his kind as true sunlight does not shine upon it. The tools to his undoing remain hidden but perhaps I no longer require them. A plan comes to mind that with a bit of assistance from the locals, I can possibly dethrone this usurper. | + | //This “Devil Strahd” is more than a vampire who gained a position of power.

| Snoggly used a dagger to slip open the book, at the point where the note had been placed. He found it to be blank. Haldar noted that the room was being kept up as it’s not dusty. The bed is in good shape and though it’s not officially made, the sheets have been pulled up in a hap hazard way. He pulled the sheets down only to reveal another piece of paper. “What’s this?’ he said out loud. As he looked at it, it read. | Snoggly used a dagger to slip open the book, at the point where the note had been placed. He found it to be blank.

| - | The human condition is frail, like the human mind, but it can be protected through mastery of Abjuration. The Necromancer’s Enchanting eyes alter the minds of those around him. There is no escape from his Enchantment. I have done everything to stop the Illusions he has created in this realm, but even the most powerful Evocation was useless against the Necromancer. | + | //The human condition is frail, like the human mind, but it can be protected through mastery of Abjuration.

| Snoggly then suggested that, after reading these two notes, that we might be dealing with two different wizards. He doesn’t think that Kazan is a Necromancer but an Evocator. Rinn speculated that the realm itself might be an illusion. Misty moved to check the couch, Victor said he had already look there but she checked it anyway. Finding nothing, they moved to the rug. They rolled up the rug and found nothing below it. Snoggly, examined the previous notes we had found here, and the new notes we found in this room and determined that they were written at different times and with different inks but appear to have been written by the same hand. Misty and Victor moved the couch to check under it and found nothing. | Snoggly then suggested that, after reading these two notes, that we might be dealing with two different wizards.

| It was at this point, the recorder was destroyed, along with the tub, I believe. The spell was so strong that it reached into our reality and drained the recording device. There is nothing recorded beyond this point. I remember that he did destroy the tub and we ultimately left the room and headed back to the library. Kevin also remembered that we spent the rest of the session attempting to figure out the room, the illusion, the blank books, and where had Kazan gone? That was two weeks ago so I don’t remember any of the finer details of those events. | It was at this point, the recorder was destroyed, along with the tub, I believe.

| + | Addendum: We did run around through the other portal but it just sent us back to the library. Also in our searching, we found a room through a secret door in the library to the north. It was a small room with a desk and a blue book. | ||
