So you missed the part where Patrizio stomped in there and sealed the place? So you want to be stuck, in the library, with no food, no water, and no way out? I mean hey say the word, I'll roll you against scapheap and we'll see who gets stuck in there.
The Library was sealed, by Patrizio's actions. So you cant precisely go and return your books. Right at this second.
I
could, however, NOT HAVE HOARDED THE BOOKS I WANTED TO RETURN.
Return all but a couple books and study those books; OR return all books and criticize whoever decided to attack those guys.
Which of those possibilities implies that I would return NO books?
SERIOUSLY. I clearly stated that I would return most or all of the books, which you interpret as me returning none?!?
Given this and a couple of other crappy rolls, I'm starting to wonder if the GM hates me.

Return the books to the library, or somewhere near the library at least. Or wherever someone tells me to. Like I was supposed to have LAST TURN. Make the place look like a normal semi-abandoned tower. Explore the catacombs. Curse the gods a bit in spare moments.
How about we clarify this to be very simple? You cannot keep -any- books to study from AND remove the epic malus on the library. The library can allow for ONE person to study at a time, accept this as a game mechanic and get over it. You keep saying 'keep books to study from' then wonder why we want to kill you, seriously. Pay some damn attention
Geez, sorry that I assumed that when he makes one concession towards splitting the library he could make another, or that a library with a -2 bonus and a separate collection with -1 could have the latter return books to the former until the maluses were switched...or that, barring that, I not hoard books when I clearly put returning most or all of them at a high priority.
I thought I made it clear that I wanted to
not hoard the books.
Yes, and he could have. Had Patrizio not sealed the library. Since Patrizio did seal the library, the better option was not getting stuck there, and doing some studying.
But I'll change that if requested.
What, the library is the only place I'm allowed to store books?
