Suddenly, if the book could blink, it would!

The Never Ending Quest - Episode 14830

It sees the indicator that it had been looking for for all these centuries....but it's from a realm that it had only been recording from (but not found a suitable candidate for abduction). The potentials were right this second in route (somehow) to another realm. Why it didn't notice this final piece before is puzzling, but the book isn't going to ask needless questions and let this opportunity wait longer than need be. There was something....odd...about the mode of transport, but the opportunity was too great to resist for the book. It reaches out to snare them....and suddenly finds out that it proves to be a mistake! You see, while the book is perfectly capable at snatching people traveling by magic or by this strange, eldritch process called "science", this is different. It could have perhaps send out cohorts to herd the potentials to teleports once they arrived at their destination, but the book didn't want to wait. It proves to be a mistake, since the party it was trying to grab onto is being teleported by Doctor Vincent hybrid magic/science teleporter!

The book's powers go wild as it's intended target slips out of it's grasp, and several things happen. The power goes wild and drags forth several several unintended victims (depositing them in various locations on the world that the book's intended target was heading). The other thing is that what passes for the books mind gets majorly scrambled (causing it to sing dirty little limericks for the next few days aloud). It'll recover eventually, but not for a while....and while it's recovering it's left a trail of sorts......back to the pyramid......

It also deflected it's intended target's flight path so they land somewhere else...

  1. ...slightly more "public" than originally intended. But first, the victims.....who'll find there have been a few changes beyond a change in location!
