Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5727694" data-attributes="member: 11751">Arnir, you close the door to your room and begin examining the various items.The old tome that was prematurely disintegrated by Kirio's eager hands appears to be the remains of a very ancient spell book.  Your read magic cantrip shows that three full spells remain: <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/g/glitterdust" target="_blank">Glitterdust</a>, <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic/all-spells/m/mount" target="_blank">Mount</a> and a curious spell called Burning Blood.The large black scroll tube is clearly made from lead and has been heavily lacquered.  Inside the tube is a tightly rolled scroll which emits moderate auras of conjuration, transmutation and necromancy.  When you remove it and begin to examine it, you see that it can be unrolled into a length of almost 6 feet.  The material is black as night and strange to the touch, like thin leather but it sheds warmth like a candle.  The scroll is covered in writing in a language that means nothing to you, but you notice similarities between the characters and some of the Yuan-Ti script that you saw in the cave complex.  The writing, designs and iconography are all written in a dark red substance which is mixed with something metallic such as silver dust.  Strangely, it cannot be identified as a distinct item but you divine a name for the scroll: The Ebon Treatise of Sskultath.  The scroll can be deciphered and you know that with access to the Lyceum archives, this would take you approximately a week.  [GM]Arnir, I will email you a copy of the Burning Blood spell and detail what is contained on the black scroll once you decipher it.  Deciphering the scroll will require a successful linguistics check after one week of study.  Use of the Lyceum for that time will grant a +5 to the check.[/GM][GM]Bannock/Hrimr, keep in mind that you're at the temple while the remainder of the party is having these discussions.[/GM]</blockquote>
