* | The remaining books are no longer the concern of the [[:Category:Bounty Hunters]], who have shifted their efforts to discovering more information about [[:Category:Bounty Hunters:The Blood Cult]] and their Lady. | ||

** | Probable timeline: | ||
*** | |||
*** | * Eurasmus approached by Blood Cult lackeys who offer to help him with significant debts. They furnish him with a couple of high-level scrolls and he does the deed | ||
*** | * Actively pursued by his creditors, he gets cold feet and skips town after stealing a wand of hide from undead and a porridge spoon (the latter from a well-known servant of the poor, for shame) | ||

* | ** Another goes to a bookseller in Turstram. This bookseller is killed by lackeys of Wan Wu (and possibly Wan Wu himself, but this is not confirmed), presumably after being discovered with a ''locate item'' spell while checking on his newfound goods. | ||
** Another to a traveling bookseller on the road near Middrom, whose status is unknown. | |||
** Another he parleys to a bounty hunter on his tail in exchange for letting him keep the wand the bounty hunter was contracted to find. This bounty hunter is personally killed by Wan Wu. | |||
* He goes to an abandoned town northwest that is full of undead, using them as a shield. | |||
* The party follows, runs into (and then away from) Wan Wu in the form of the Halfling, finds the body, finds the town, finds Eurasmus, then heads back with him in tow. | |||
* They stop by the aforementioned bookseller on the way, but are too late, and are chased off by scary basilisk-containing room after getting worn down by a bunch of cultists and a water weird. | |||
* They drop Eurasmus off, report their status, and deal with the consequences. | |||
===Still relevant after acquisition of Eurasmus=== | |||
***'''[[Blood Cult|Cultists]] for the Lady (secular power grab, components to a dark ritual, coded messages with the key to prophecy, etc)''' | |||
****It seems most likely that these were the original people to approach Eurasmus, and that they know to pursue him after he broke off his part of the deal (due to Thieves' Guild involvement) | |||
