multiverse (with special attention given to the planes)

As treasure, the hoard consists of 541 rare books and
scrolls of various sizes, each one worth approximately
100 gold pieces to a collector and weighing between
one and three pounds.

ones. A Search check (DC 30) locates them; a detect
magic spell finds them instantly.
Scrolls: The hoard contains scrolls of animate dead,
control water, divination, prayer, repel vermin,
restoration and searing light, all with a caster level of

are useless to him.
