Also, he changes the total description in the latest part, as saying that noone has returned alive and that we have a chance of surviving since we have time to prepare (Which is odd considering we don't have a clue as to what to prepare for...cause NOONE HAS CAME BACK ALIVE!!).  That just screams out DONT DO IT!!!  It also brings up even more questions about the validity of the quest.  How is it, that he can give us information to get us to a place where noone has come back from (which is odd considering he says he will give us a magical item to bring us back...seems like the items haven't worked/or they are in beta stage).  Which brings me to even more questions about the whole 'book' mission.  A library should contain alot of books.  With the language barrier and possible glyphs I would be unable to read due to that, I would be even more unlikely to even bother going.  At most, I could read 6 pages a day (Read Magic spell), which would be annoying while trying to find a totally undescriptive book with no title.   Also, why does this person want the book in the first place?   I mean, there has GOT to be a reason for wanting a book that is known to have power over life and death.   I dont care if he lies or not, but I would not go on a suicidal mission for just the item he wants to use as decoration (unless it is a cool looking weapon).If that guy wants to just give money to, according to what he has said: basically jump into a portal and never expect to return only by magical item, and hope you can read/understand what the book cover says...then yah, I guess he can give away money like that.   But, if he really wanted the said book, he would definitly need proof that A) Proof the book exist, B) Reason for wanting the book C) Actual location and map to said location, D) Protection for the book, so the people carrying it don't accidently destroy it/a rival doesn't get it/stuff like that.Last point, I am starting to think this guy is making everything up.  This guy is talking to us in the street AND wont give us his name or any good description of the item.  He also doesn't seem to think it that important, since he doesn't mind talking about it in the open.  Also, he changes the story about what is known behind the Great Portal...only that noone returns.  What makes me even more suspicious is that this book is said to control the powers of life and death.   Yet, he talks about it so nonchalantly that I doubt it would be worth risking my life for what sounds like normal book (that is if it even exist).   [/sblock]</blockquote>
