alt_cedricAn extremely dangerous book, Cruor Invictus, which Professor Dolohov has been using to demonstrate protection charms and devices commonly used to contain dangerous artifacts is missing. We believe it is still in the castle.
It is in a large dark wood and crystal case. Various protective runes are inscribed on the crystal and burned into the wood. The book itself is just over a foot tall, about eight inches wide and two inches thick. The cover appears to be a dark stained leather with the title embossed on the front cover and and ornate CI on the spine. If you stumble across it cover it with a cloth and report it immediately. When removed from its case it will slowly fill the room with an aroma of decay and cinnamon. If you smell this, leave the room immediately, don’t bother covering it, just leave and close the door. Under no circumstances should the book be touched with your bare hands.

It does not ease the conscience, of course, but one must account for others' free will in this sort of thing.
Get some sleep; tomorrow will undoubtedly be interminable.
