But the translator would probably be as renowned as the original author, and thus would probably be revealed in a decent Bardic Lore check or similar regarding the piece, and an effort like this would certainly be uncommon - so MOST of the time, you should be correct that this is cheesy. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />And now, my own addition to the cheese. After much research and a great deal of party effort:"I'm sorry, but your princess (or magic item or whatever) is in another castle." <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f621.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":mad:" title="Mad    :mad:"  data-smilie="4"data-shortname=":mad:" /></blockquote>
