"Mr. Diego decided to give him a new necktie." Says Cole as he moves towards the idole. "Mind if I take a look?" He asks as he motions the item in order to get a better look at it. "Also Ms. Beth, can you communicate with Mr. Diego's new desciple? She would no doubt be able to shead some light to our current situation."

Archer picks up the book and looks at it. [sblock=Archer - Academics]Giving it a once over he comes to some initial conclusions: It looks old (more than 100 years), the writing is arabic, the construction is sturdy, it's been well maintained.
Despite the large size and thickness the number of pages is not large, perhaps 50. Inside there are both symbolic style drawings and neat arabic writing the placement of which is "funny".
Studying the book is an extended roll. You have 1 success. You have to accumulate successes to find out more (generally you'll get new information at '5'). Each roll is an hour. If you miss a roll you get "stuck" and need to get help.
There is a finite amount of stuff you can figure out without actually being able to read the book.[/sblock]

"This text is old, probably over a century. Sturdy, well-kept. It's in Arabic, and not many pages, but they're thick. Drawings too, look like they hold meaning. There's something not quite right about how the Arabic is set out. Determining anything more will take time and facilities we don't have," what Archer was going to say was that he required a library, but he didn't want to say anything sensitive around the groveling woman, whether or not she couldn't speak English.
"Beth, when you have a moment I'd like you to take a quick look through this book and see if any of it matches what you saw in Frank's room, if it's not too much trouble" while Beth went through the book Archer looked for something clean to wrap the book in, "This place seems to have more than a few nooks and crannies, but we need to look the whole place over before we can be confident that we have everything that could be of use to us. Is there anything anyone needs from here in particular?"

Beth looks at the book as requested.

Beth picks up the book, spends about 5 minutes paging through it, none of the diagrams match the one on the wall. She finds she can't draw any other conclusions.
It's an entire book filled with arabic, lots of pictures, chooping up the image into different fragments and trying to compare it to other fragments in the book is possible, but time consuming and difficult. She doesn't speak arabic after all.
The situation is a bit overwhelming. It's hard to avoid the trickles of blood oozing down from the ceiling and more than a few pages wind up smeared with blood as she works.
As if to punctuate the extremities of the situation the woman lets out a groan and topples over. It looks like at least one of her wounds has opened up again.

Diego shakes his head, "If ya'll wanna go look around, be quick about it. I don't want her dying on us. At least not til we figure out what the hell is going on." Diego kneels next to the woman, attempting to stop the lifeblood from leaving the woman.

The woman is breathing, her eyes are closed, the blood flow is not copious.
Diego's got some rudimentary understanding of first aid but the wounds on the woman's body, ragged with long black edges, look serious. He makes a haphazard attempt to bind her wounds with strips from the other primitives cloak, but he's not sure that it's very effective.

Grabing the idole Cole begins to head out of the shop and towards the car. "Perhaps it would be best for us to depart. Ms. Beth be a dear and help Mr. Diego with his disciple, Mr. Archer hide the body, cover up our tracks and be sure to take that book. I will get the car." Says Cole.
