Could it be that the book changes when you read "key" chapters, or is the list of books generated randomly? | |||

This chapter tells the story of young Lord Spookyraven's arrival, by boat, in Seaside Town. Some sources say he came from Distant Lands, while others claim he hailed from Parts Unknown. | |||
All of the sources agree on one thing, however: He was really, really creepy, and his creepiness was eclipsed only by his eccentricity. | |||
He spent the first few years of his time in Seaside Town living in a series of squalid apartments, attempting (unsuccessfully) to make his fortune. | |||
He eventually discovered that he had a knack both for dealing in rare books and for grooming animals, and he consequently opened Spookyraven's Hard-to-Find Bookstore and Hard-to-Wash Pet Salon on the Right Side of the Tracks. | |||

Before Unlocking
You try to enter the Haunted Library, but the door is locked. I guess this particular information doesn't want to be free.
Insufficient Main Stat
As you get near the library, you start thinking about all of the times you've been hurt because of libraries. Like the time that librarian broke your knees because you couldn't pay your overdue book fines, and the time that you tripped over a drawer that had been left open in the card catalog and got a black eye.
Maybe you should come back when you're a little tougher, so that you don't get hurt again.
(You must have at least 40 *Main stat* to adventure here.)
Using a Disintergrating Quill with an Inkwell and Tattered Scrap of Paper in your inventory will produce Scroll of Ancient Forbidden Unspeakable Evil
- Scroll of Ancient Forbidden Unspeakable Evil
Combat Item - Dealt 52 fire damage to monster and 5 spooky damage to me.

1st Chapter of 1st Book:
Chapter 1: Things Get Weirder
As Lord Spookyraven retreated further and further into his study of Ancient Forbidden Unspeakable Evil, his business fell into disrepair and soon closed down. Having completely alienated himself from his wife, he is at this time reported to have taken several hundred mistresses.
Some scholars believe this infidelity was the result of the Ancient Forbidden Unspeakable Evil slowly corrupting his sanity, others believe he was simply left directionless and bored after the dissolution of his business. Most of them just want to know how he managed to pull it off, because most scholars are actually really tired of hanging out alone in libraries.
His wife's response to his transgressions was unexpected. She didn't confront him, spiral into depression, or move back in with her mother -- instead she began to collect nightstands.

2nd Chapter of 1st Book:
Chapter 2: Stephen and Elizabeth
Lord Spookyraven's children Stephen and Elizabeth, like their mother, had some difficulty dealing with their father's descent into madness and philandering. Stephen had inherited his father's love of rare animals, and began to collect pets compulsively.
Though a handful of historians believe he was unusually cruel to them, it is more commonly believed that he simply had a knack for adopting incredibly unlucky animals. Whatever the reason, Spookyraven Manor soon had one of the finest pet cemeteries Seaside Town had ever seen.
Elizabeth cared for neither animals nor books, and instead focused her obsession on the collection of works of fine art. She built up an impressive collection in the Manor's gallery, but that collection was lost to her when one of Stephen's pet alligators swallowed the gallery's key.

Little is known about the last days of the Spookyraven family. The folk of Seaside Town noticed that Lord Spookyraven hadn't been seen in public for several years, which led them to realize that they hadn't seen the rest of the family lately, either, for that matter.
No sign of any of the family members was ever seen again, and Spookyraven Manor gradually became completely dilapidated.
Rumors that the family was sucked into some sort of otherdimensional portal accidentally opened by Lord Spookyraven are usually dismissed as either poppycock or balderdash, though some more modern scholars have begun to believe that they might, in fact, be either hogwash or tommyrot.

Clover Adventure
Adventure Results: Dust to Dust
As you're wandering through the Haunted Library, you sneeze. The sneeze dislodges a huge cloud of dust from the bookshelf next to you, which gets in your nose, causing you to sneeze again.
A chain reaction involving about twenty sneezes, the details of which I won't bore you with, ensues. However, the dust must've absorbed some of the mystical properties of the books it had collected on, because you feel much smarter and more Mystical for having inhaled it.
Your ten-leaf clover disappears in a puff of smoke.
You gain 93 Wizardliness.
ps. I'm a lvl 14 Sauceror, 188 base myst. I'm assuming that will be useful info later when people formulate the gains. Either way I'm done wasting clovers there.--Practitioner of Saucy Arts 02:29, 20 September 2006 (CDT)
