While I attempt to find some primers on this universe, I will be unable to resist looking askance at the other patrons, fascinated by the physical presence of truly otherworldly species. Starting with basics of magic theory and such, I will research this topic interestedly, truly wanting to be able to perform Dungeons & Dragons style wizardry.
Out of Character: : I am assuming that common = English for reading, of course, but I will also see if there are any other cross-languages that I recognize, even if I'm not fluent. I can read French very well, and Hebrew only passingly, but I can muddle through German, Spanish and some Esperanto in text form. As time allows, I will also read up on the deities and such of this universe.

I will seek a moment to speak quietly with Rachel, as Jason makes his report to Lord Douglas, and offer, "It may not be much, and while my interests have in many ways focused on other things, I do still have an appreciation of nature and my time as a boy scout is fondly remembered. If you want to discuss such thing or have one willing to appreciate the beauty that nature can provideā¦ I'm available." It may also allow me to regain many of the skills that I have lost since becoming an eagle scout.

As I stand there on the road, I blink several times. I'm I seeing what I'm seeing, is it real? How did I get from going to get the mail to here? Where is here? I move my arms and legs to make sure I can indeed move..ok, that is good I can. I see the castle up head, I hope the road I'm on will lead me to it. I begin to walk towards it keeping an eye out for anything odd, other the the farms I see to either side of me.
As I head that direction, my mind is still thinking How did I get here? Did I fall somehow getting the mail and I'm unconscious? Is this just a dream and I'll wake up?
As grant opens a tome to look at he finds himself passing out onto the book. During this time he has information passed to him not a lot but a little of everything. This includes knowing a little of magic and thievery. While you will find that you were only out for about five minutes the time you felt this knowledge infusing you was over eight hours total.
Vickie you find that you are not far from the stronghold about the equivalent of three city blocks. The farms have a person out planting by hand or weeding the rows of crops with a hoe. You do not feel that this is a dream at all.
The lord tells you the newcomer was indeed of earth and 2017 like the rest of you. HE went to the library about ten minutes ago. Lwethiela thanks you for the information about the spectre and she will pass it on to Lywenta.
"Holy crap! What was THAT?!?" I exclaim as I recover from the transfer, mind reeling with myriad tons of information. "I've got to try some of this stuff! Wow, I needed this in college!" Eager to test out this new found knowledge, he searches his mind for something small and easily accomplished, and asks one of the nearby patrons for directions to a courtyard or somewhere safe to do so.
Out of Character: : I'm not sure what, if anything, I will be able to actually do magically, but I'd be wanting to try something.
As I continue to walk, and see the workers in the fields, I wonder if I should say anything or just stay on my path..do I seem strange to them? My clothes are a bit different that what I see. I bet I stand out like a sore thumb..like the only one who dresses up for a costume party that not one. I say to myself, if they say something to you then you can answer, or than that, stay on the path to the castle. Doing so I kick at the ground and dust goes into the air a bit..guess it's not a dream. Still in the back of my mind..then where am I?

Grant - The elf looks at you and smiles as she will lead you to a small courtyard off the library. "If it is magic you wish to do this is a good place to try some out. What are you wishing to try young man?"
Vickie - Yes you can see they are dressed in very plain drab of worked leather breeches and a cotton type shirt or jerkin. They seem to be simple folks. As you get closer to the castle you can see a couple shops closer to it. One has a thin waft of smoke rising from a chimney.
I laugh at that, unexpectedly amused "'Young man'! I haven't been called or considered a young man for a couple of decades, but to an Elf, I'm a toddler, right! Fun stuff. I just got some kind of reaction when I was reading that imparted an excessive amount of knowledge into my brain. How about a simple Light cantrip as something to try?" I pick up a pebble randomly from the ground, and run through the steps of the spell in my mind, concentrating intently on the expected result.
