Melvil Dewey Would Be Ashamed



While wandering around the towering, dusty library shelves, you encounter the Head Librarian's desk. You can tell it's hers, because it has a little sign on it that says "Quiet, please, or I'll swallow your soul."

There's not much of interest here, but you do find a small pile of recently-returned books. It appears that they haven't been processed yet, so if you were to take one, the late fees wouldn't go on your account. Your palms start to itch.

Hork the gray-bound volume

You glance around to make sure none of the librarians are looking, and cram the book into your... well, your inventory. Where do you keep all that stuff, anyway?

You acquire an item: Necrotelicomnicon

Yoink the green-bound tome

You grab the green book and dart into the hallway before any of the librarians see you. When you finally get a good look at the book, you're struck with a horrifying revalation: It's a cookbook! A cookbook!

Gaffle the purple-bound book

You gaffle the purple-bound book. You gaffle the purple-bound book. You gaffle, gaffle, gaffle, gaffle, gaffle the purple-bound book, and head back out into the hallway before anybody sees you. After you're out of sight, you sit down and take a look at the book, and realize that it's a sleazy romance novel! What kind of library is this?

You acquire an item: Sinful Desires

Leave without taking anything

You resist the temptation to Steal That Book.

Occurs in The Haunted Library.

The colors of the bindings for each book refer to the element that each book represents (gray for spooky stench sleaze
