Hook, Line and Sinker
As you step into the Mer-kin Library, a curious thing happens. The murk, already nigh-impenetrable, intensifies until you can barely see a thing other than a luminous trail of scintillating motes, flickering and floating in the middle of the water in front of you.
As you follow the path of lights, you notice Mer-kin all around you, seemingly frozen in time, held motionless in the act of whatever they were doing when you walked in. You know, researching ancient scrolls, poring over ancient tomes, torturing drifters -- that kind of thing.
You follow the lights through winding rows of bookshelves, past scattered sheaves of ancient documents, and finally to a small, nondescript pedestal in a far corner of the library. Atop the pedestal is an ordinary-looking scroll.
You pick it up, and the murk lifts -- all around you, Mer-kin begin to move again, going about their business as if nothing had happened.
Looks like this scroll has an agenda, and that you're on it.
