Text
[The names of dead gods - most of them unfamiliar and unpronounceable - fill the pages of this ancient tome. Several entries on the last page have been stricken through, the final three thoroughly enough to be completely illegible.]
Notes
- The generic Strength check to open the book can still be attempted even after trying and failing one of the class-specific options.
- The three names mentioned in the Investigation check are a possible reference to the Dead Three.
- It is also possible to lockpick
the book from the inventory and then read it afterward, to get the Scroll of Ray of Enfeeblement, without any of the dialogue above
