## Jasper's visit

Jasper arrives early Spring, with a letter and two tomes
for Antoni.  They arrived in Lübeck last year, he explains,
but after my visit, unfortunately.  Should I take a return 
message, he asks?

> Dear Antoni,
>
> I am glad to hear that you are doing well for yourself.
> Pray, next time, you tell me more of cities you visit and 
> the lands you explore.  I hear you are heading North, to those
> lands of Mystery and Legend.  I trust you will unravel many a
> a secret that could serve our trade well.
>
> With this letter you should find a formulary as requested, in
> two volumes.  It is not the richest selection, but one suitable 
> for journey, fit for an explorer like yourself.
>
> In return, I hope you will share with me some of the lores and 
> magic of the lands you explore.  I have a particular interest
> in a certain man, a fellow of our arts, called Sæmund Sigfússon.
> He studied in Bologna more than a century ago, before he returned 
> to his native lands as a priest and magician.
> He had some interesting ideas, linking our arts of Egyptian 
> origin to ancient arts of the North.
> I have found letters here, in the library, from a meeting in 
> Uppsala 1116, uniting the wizards and witches from all the people
> from Uppsala to Thule.
> Unfortunately, I find no other trace of his research and teaching 
> here, and I hope you will have more success.
>
> Your faithfully,
> Geragio et cetera et cetera
> On the Day of Saint John the Beaptist, AD 1224

The enclosed books are two inches thick each, with sheets almost
12 inches by 6.  The ease factor for the two TeFo comboes that
Antoni has is 8 (30% chance), and 9 for a couple of others.
If he should have only one tome at hand, the ease factor
is 9 for one TeFo combo and 10 for the other, and the other
tome is the other way around.
