Difference between revisions of "Curators of Alexandria"

They are also very keen on getting people to join their ranks, i.e. collecting their souls. They use every means of temptation and trickery but have specific rules which they must follow (see below). The Library is laid out in a confusing fashion so that patrons will get hopelessly lost and give up trying to leave. Trip wires are set to engage traps that won't permanently harm guests but will make them hopelesslose all hope of escape.

If one wishes to access the knowledge in the Library of Alexandria, a loophole in the rules can be exploited, as was discovered by [[Attica Smedry]]. He entered into a contract with the Curators and gave himself enough time to read the solution to how to defeat them (rule 3), write a note about how it's done, then turn into a Curator before the note was returned (rule 1). The note was kept by the Curators because [[Shasta]] didn't know to ask for it (rule 5), but [[Alcatraz]] figures out that his father must have left a note because something you write while in the Library is copied and returned (rule 1). The note bequeaths his soul to Alcatraz, which means that the Curators took his soul unlawfully (rule 2). Alcatraz demands possession of his father's soul, and Attica comes back to life. The whole thing is essentially possible due to rule 6.
