Dialogue

"These "Scriptures of Abaddon" aren't scriptures at all. Thank the gods! I honestly haven't a clue as to what is written on this parchment. All I can surmise is that this ancient parchment is part of a greater whole, but it does me no good. Here, why don't you take it? Perhaps you find some use for it."

Accept: "I'll decode this ancient riddle."

Reject: "Moldy old paper? You can keep it."

Reward Dialogue

"Let me see that. By the gods, my luck has finally come! Where did you find this? I have been searching for this ancient parchment for many years now. It is the missing piece of a puzzle that has remained unsolved for ages. With both halves, I can attain a powerful magic to satisfy my ever whim!

As a token of thanks, we will seek out the power together. However, there are a few tasks we'll need to take care of first. Speak to me again when you are ready."
