The moneychangers’ guild provided me with invaluable tools
and methods; gold and wealth in which to improve and speed my craft. Added to my formula library are three
formula books and a collection of notes and theories on rare discoveries....
The steel cover of this slim journal has taken its
fair share of abuse; acid scars and minor slag spots show where the journal was
subjected to intense working conditions. Equations, balances, and chemical notations
mark the margins of the pages—with some formulae, it is difficult to tell where
the notes end and the formula begins.
Journal of the Beast Within
This ragged collection of scorched and stained notes
is tied with cheap twine between wooden covers. A few formulae appear to have
been deliberately obliterated, scratched through so thoroughly that the paper
is torn in places.
Chymist’s Guidebook
The pages of this formula book are carefully varnished.
Sprinkled among the formulae are details and diagrams of alchemical devices,
many of which seem to defy the normal conventions of alchemy and physics. The
last page contains incomplete notes on the preparation of experimental
mutagens.
The Formulae of Master Gebr
These four cloth-bound books are neatly printed—as with a
printing press or some other form of mechanical transcription—with a title
page, a table of contents, and a useful cross-referenced index. They have been
treated well and are clearly reference works, rather than laboratory notes; the
writer was obviously a most disciplined and focused inventor.
But now after my visit to the Black Crown and thanks to Adalgrim Redhammer’s tribute I have what I need in which to create a helmet to defend against the mental attacks of the illithids as well as a safety net for practical purposes...

Description
This mask depicts a dragon's face, and covers the wearer from chin to crown. When the wearer of the
hannya fails a saving throw against a spell or effect, he may choose to attune
the hannya to that effect as an immediate action. The wearer then gains a +1
competence bonus to future saves made against that specific effect. If the
wearer fails a second save against an effect the hannya is attuned to, his
bonus to future saves increases to +2, and if he fails a third time it increases
to +3. A hannya of hard won wisdom may be attuned to only one specific spell or
effect at a time, and if it is attuned to a new effect, all its benefit against
older effects is lost.
