Eventually he figured out it was a map, and then he figured out that the map could be overlayed on a map of the town they had traveled to and that it aligned to reveal entrances to a series of catacombs beneath. (That required, among other things, scaling and re-orienting the maps until they could overlay it onto specific key landmarks: both the town map and the catacomb map called out sewage drainage pipes.)Once they had completed the overlay, it revealed a few different subterranean areas, including a secret hiding place for cultists, and a crypt that contained a magic sword they were looking for. The direct root to the crypt was blocked off by a cave in, but -- wouldn't you know it -- there was an indirect root through the unaffiliated cultists layer. Sadly "don't worry, we're just passing through" didn't go over so well with the cultists.</blockquote>
