Return of the Beast

"are you an Arch Wizard?" said Amendir Dedralles, panicked and injured as he approaches Zullo on the road, as he walks and speak with the Elf Azorel.
"I am a wizard... are you quite alright lad? Did you take a hit to the head... let me examine those wounds... I am a capable physician you know..." Zullo replied.
"the wounds will heal... I need you to take a look at this" Amendir replies, handing Zullo a strange book.. the title "return of the beast" scrawled over the original tittle in childlike hand...
*Zullo treats the elf's wounds and tries to calm him down. They travel to candlekeep where Zullo leave the elves in the care of Winthrop the innkeep, and some freshly cooked eggs and coffee, and he begins to look over the text. He determines there is a codex written in the margins... which he concludes will take some time to decipher. The book also has some green sticky substance blotting out many of the passages that do make sense... what he can decipher is this:
"... a slow change. after ages of waiting the BEAST that ruled the land returns to take back their wold [from the] upstarts. the BEAST will make slaves of the five crowns, and put whole races to the lash" the elves, the dwarvess, and the kingdoms of men will all fall as one..."
"Where did you get this lad?" Zullo asks
"upon a corpse in a deep cavern system, carved by a river..." Amendir replies...
"might I hold onto it for a while...? it will take some time to decipher the codex" Zullo inquires
" you may sir" The elf replies "I haven't been able to sleep since I found it"
"well.. sleep well here tonight lad... you are safe within these walls (in the inn at Candlekeep), and the book shall be safe here as well... wait here and I shall return." The old mage starts off for the library, he glances at the book ominously in his satchel... He steps out into the rain, drawing his hood and cloak around him...
"the road goes ever.." he says as he starts towards the library... leaning on his staff heavily, and puffing on a long curved wooden pipe....
OOC: Amendir Dedrallus claims there are 6-7 people interested in the RP that ensued from this random Drop... Zullo has the book (at the CK library)... Looking for a DM that wants to pick this up?
