Hm. If only we could ... wait.
Dran's eyes gleam.
We bring one of the other kids along. They can read that script, can't they?
Hopefully they can.
But which one? Need one that respects us somewhat, won't tattle, and likes this sort of spywork.
...the Jackson one maybe, or that girl, whatsherface. Bethany or summat.

Both of those things are correct.

It's some sort of riddle. Lore listens intently as Alex reads it aloud.

Sorceress Thaegan gulps her favorite food
In her cave with all her brood.
And the names of her children are:
Hot, Tot, Jin, Jod,
Fie, Fly, Zan, Zod, Pik, Snik,
Lun, Lod and of course the dreaded Ichabod.
Each child holds a slimy toad,
On each toad squirms two fat grubs,
On each grub rides two fleas brave.
Here's my riddle and so beware,
Answer this riddle now if you dare.
How many things are living in Thaegan's cave?
Beware, for answer true not--


The rubbing ends abruptly. Lore's look of disappointment grew darker and darker as Alex read, and by the time he finished reading the old man's silver-gray head was in his hands. Those morons.... Those idiots.. Those blockheads!! They brought me a child's nursery rhyme! He shouts, his hands shaking with rage as he clutches at his hair. He kicks furiously for a several minutes, flinging documents and throwing whatever volumes he can get his hands on. Cromwell ducks as one whips past his head, exploding in a shower of twirling white parchment. Then abruptly he begins to grow melancholy. All those years! All that work! He moans woefully. Alex seems to pay him no heed as he mutters the rhyme to himself again, counting on his fingers. He reaches ten, pauses for a moment, then starts to work off one of his boots.

I-Is the library open..? She says without moving.

Dran nods. It'd be really easy to just steal one of the brats and just make some crap up to get them to follow us. But if we were going to do it, we ought to do it now while everyone's distracted. He glances around. This place is usually empty but anyone could still walk in at any time.

Meanwhile, on the library bench..

Kyle blushes for a moment.
"I think it is... but the old guy who runs it is kind of busy with these two weird guys."

She lowers her hands a bit. You mean Lore and those bloodthirsty twins?

Kyle nods.
"Yeah, I think that's them. They were going to help us get back home I guess. I don't like the way the one looks though."

Kyle looks surprised but hands her his rapier.
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm a soldier but I have been outside. I actually came from an island over this one with my friends."

You unbelt your rapier and literally place it into her open hands. She stands there aiming her sparkle eyes at your sword and making weird strangled noises.
