Check the legal library!
That twisting, somber chamber, the domain of Jenkins and the Office of the Chief Purveyor, where books, reports, and sheafs of legal correspondence tower above the heads of scribes; where reams of parchment float about the confines of the dusty bookcases as if carried aloft in gusts of wind from the energetic brilliance of those who work, noses to the grindstone, below; that would be just the place to misplace an important folder. You likely set it down while visiting Jenkins to solicit his professional opinion on the implementation of term limits - languishing, momentarily forgotten, on a loose stack, any paper could disappear into the void. The trouble would be locating it - but Jenkins, creature of habit as he was, would almost certainly be there to lend a hand. That man had a mastery of the cluttered confines of his library that bordered on the mystical.
Shaking yourself out of your reverie, you stride off briskly towards the side hall connecting the library to the entrance hall. Arriving at the heavy spruce door set in the frame of the attached library building, you reach down to turn the handle.
Locked. Now, that was unusual. In fact, you cannot recall a time when this door has
ever been locked. Since established by a resurgent Duke Nicholas I in the first days of construction in Gallen, the library has operated under a simple code:
Let All Who Desire Knowledge Enter Here. Squinting in the rapidly-diminishing light, you can just about make out that very promise, a guarantee that Wysteria's wisdom must be left for the benefit of all, inscribed at the top of the door frame. Jenkins, moreover, was a man of firm principles; you have never known him to permit access to the library be limited.
The library does have another, primary entrance: the double doors connecting the building to the main courtyard. A quick check reveals these to be locked as well. Curiouser and curiouser - though, on the whole, not a great bother. Jenkins was seldom far, and his office was around the corner - he presumably had a key. Or perhaps you should take a look in another part of the building and hope for better luck; you haven't yet checked the Labourer's Council chamber, immediately behind you from your new position outside the library.
Do You:
- Seek out Jenkins for a key
- Attempt to find another, less conventional way into the library
- Give up and turn your attention to other areas
