Monster Trove for Seasoned Adventurers
Drowned Archivist
Medium
About
The waterlogged master of a drowned library, still cataloging the names of the living as future acquisitions. It greets visitors by asking their names, then writes each one into a ledger that bleeds black water. Once you are in the book, the floor itself turns to drowning ink, and the Archivist simply waits for the page to fill.
