Seems to need another kick.
Pants and Roman - Magic + Logic rolls please, Pants you have your favours with Samedi if you want to use them, you can add your occult knowledge score if you personally do the searching.
Fab - can I have a willpower test please.
And anyone feel like replying to Alvrin's message?

As you follow Phlegastus through the gloom you see a large steel pole, metres thick, it's has a plate around the base, coupled to the floor by huge bolts, the tops of which are like dustbin lids. Around it the shapes swarm, they look like bats but the scale seems to suggest they're the size of dragons.
As your eyes follow the pole almost without thinking you realise it is in fact a huge cable, it disappears into the glow above you. As you stare into the glow you can make out some distant shapes, impossibly tiny tables surrounded by shelves of books.
The scale is all horribly wrong but you instinctively know you're walking upside down on the ceiling of the library, the cable is holding up one of the chandeliers.

Shit - I missed a bit out. 
The message you all got sent from Alvrin actually materialised as a glowing scroll with fresh quill scribed ink on that danced in front of the two by the tables until Jasper replied.
The reply would have appeared normally on Alvrin's com.
Pants - After an indeterminate amount of time of specking ash and rum across pages of tome after scroll after hide bound lexicon you stumble across some very useful information regarding the gem in an old and somewhat scorched and dog eared treatise, bound in a very dark, scaly skin, like that of a lizard or crocodile.
The gist of the old dry text is that the stones of Al Qaum were collected from across a multitude of planes in times long before recorded history, probably by more than one user. Their name originates from one of the more despotic users of the stones, a god amongst an ancient human race called the Nabataean, he was in fact an ancient marit who lead an army of djinni and efreeti in an epic multiplanar war of conquest.
The stones are five in number, each possessing a variety of characteristics. The book itself doesn't list them directly, merely stating that mastery of the stones grants an almost unlimited range of abilities at very little cost to the user. It does suggest one theory that the stones are shards of a single crystal or rock of unknown origin, some titanic sorcery forcing them across space and time where they each absorbed powers from the plane they descended upon.
Roman - a scroll you cast your eye across has a fleeting mention of a necklace of great power, forged from a star metal and bearing five stones of terrifying power.
The text is accompanied by a mediocre drawing of a chain with five glowing jewels attached. It doesn't give a name and it suggests that the necklace may have been left on a material plane by an absent minded god who forged it for a paramour but left it on the ground after a nap and never remembered where it dropped.
You turn over the scroll but it just talks of an old sword with a hilt in the shape of an omega symbol. You don't find anything else on the necklace.
Search more? Show Aidan? Call Phlegastus?
Deej / Joose - Lex and Alvrin have reached the shop now. The front door is closed. Want to knock?
Fab - whilst Jon stares speechless (apparently) at the sight in front of him, seemingly incapable of another step, Phlegastus turns to him

Phlegastus casually gestures toward you and a sort of soft light washes over you and sinks into your skin, immediately the size of the cable, the bat creatures and the distance above the library stacks appears diminished by quite some margin.Phlegastus wrote:The situation is affecting you, I can hear your increased heart rate. If you maintain mental control, the situation will no longer seem as grim, this should help.

It lives! Muhahaha!
(Same can't be said for my pc, it's playing silly buggers again)
Anyway -
A knocking sound is heard throughout the library, not because it's super loud, more that it's a gentle knocking everywhere at once.
Phlegastus vanishes from in front of Jon, a few motes of dust fall from the roof as it does.
A paper note appears by Firenza and dances in front of her, it reads
It's signed with a large embellished P.
Seconds after Lex knocks, the door swings open and a grating electronic voice calls out

Apologies, I shall return shortly. The shop has visitors. Rather unusual at this time of day.Seconds after Lex knocks, the door swings open and a grating electronic voice calls out
Hello hello! Step inside and swing the door closed please! I'll buzz you through!

Hmm, this wasn't updated for moi.
Deej/Joose - As you step in and close the door you hear a click and a buzzing sound, a truly antiquated security method, you're both au fait with systems of this nature but they're not exactly common.
Fab - your spit starts to fall toward the ceiling at your feet in an arc, then seems to stop and reverse course, it picks up speed and heads down toward the library floor, you lose it in the glow. you gain a sudden insight into the distances with the arc of your lung butter, the creatures are further away than they seem, their size is fluctuating seemingly at random, as is the cable holding the chandelier.
The glow Phlegastus has left behind it is fading, soon the lights from below are offering little more than outline in the inky black, in the distance you can hear the gentle susurration of wings.

A deep voice with a perpetually manic tone calls out from within the shop.Come on in! Step in! Step in!
