INNER WARD SECOND FLOOR 45 STUDY.

45 STUDY. Alfonsina Triskelion was an expert mathematician and numerologist. She would spend days to weeks in her study and bed room devising formulae and algorithms that would never amount to any practical application.

There are five stained glass windows against the west and northwest walls. From south to north they are each marked by the following words:

The first reads: “THE LAW OF FIVES STATES:” 
The second reads: “ALL THINGS HAPPEN IN FIVES,”
The third reads: “ARE FIVE'S FACTORS OR MULTIPLES,”
The fourth reads: “OR ARE APPROPRIATE TO FIVE.”
The fifth (northwest) reads: “THIS LAW IS NEVER WRONG.” 

There is a desk and a comfortable chair to the south of the door leading to Room 43. The desk holds paper, five quills, four bottles of normal black ink, and a bottle of Moraxo's magnificent silver ink. A candelabra with five points holds white candles decorated with blue five pointed stars. There are several dozen books dealing with simple to advanced mathematics.

The sheets of paper have numbers and symbols scribbled across them, but no real sense can be made of the writings. Even a comprehend languages spell will not render them entirely understandable since they deal with obscure mathematical principles, astronomical movements, and oddball theories. The best that can be gleaned is that the number five figures prominently. 

The whole collection of Alfonsina's books would be worth up to 30 gold crescents to a sage interested in such works. Her personal writings, however, defy credibility and would be dismissed as nonsense.

  1. We're missing a description page for the new item, can we expect to see it along with tomorrow's entry?
