Bloody hell...
Derry gets out his gear and starts examining it, paying extra attention to his climbing gloves. He is extremely careful not to disturb Bethany while he does so.

Bethany shifted in her sleep, muttering something about pancakes.

Alex looks at some of the papers and books near him, finding one that looks interesting and reading it.

Derry grinned. Did he ever get around to getting pancakes at her house? He didn't think so... Guess that was another reason to find a way back.

You pick up a small blank pamphlet and open it up. The letters are freshly inked and strikingly similar to the ones you know, and even scrawled in the same fashion, but the words seem to be jumbled, as if some child had hastily and arbitrarily rearranged them. You set it down and reach for a dark, leather-bound volume. You flip through the pages and see that it has been marked in some long, swirling text that might have been elegant were it not for the ugly marks etched over and under the characters in some of the longer words. You shut the book and lay it aside, reaching for another.

Most of the books you open are written in the familiar but jumbled style, and about one of every 30 you look inside is smeared in the elegant but somehow ugly text. The books you find in the latter language seem to be the thickest, and generally have taller pages and a smaller print, as well as the occassional illustration. Most of the pictures you find appear to be scientific, with sketches of animals and people in various poses and states and tiny mathematical notations arrayed about them.

((???))

Alex continues to search for something legible. If that fails, he looks for one of the books with the sketches of animals and mathematical notations and tries to decipher them.

Lots of books are blank until you open them.

Cromwell sits, waiting impatiently, and eyeing Alex and Lore.

Might as well chalk it up to Pathos.
As this point we might as well invoke interpretive dance and call it a day.

((AGTBLBLBLLBLBBLBLB HOW DID I FORGET THIS))

...but look, Jerik, I think we should, ya know, at least try to sneak out a few of those maps of the known sightings of the islands that Lore keeps hidden away. Do you have any idea how useful those things could be?
