Timidly ask if he'd be willing to come with me to the bookstore to help, but Dor'lek makes sure he isn't too busy first.
[4] "Sure I can be doin' that." When you arrive though it would seem Flintus has already decoded the book. Sentinel takes the book and begins reading it over, double checking the translation.
"It be a bit rough, but your translation be right enough. Not many books be written in 'dat tongue. That language is Thorraffan. It be found far, far north of here, where 'da elves still be livin'." says Sentinel spitting on the floor. Trolls and Elves have been fighting ever since they found one another, so it's no surprise he doesn't like them. "Ya say you be findin' it here though. . . strange."
Ready my staff and sword, then slowly push the door open with my foot, if anything attacks me attempt to disable but not kill it.
[5] You slowly push the door open. Surprisingly appears to be no traps or anything hostile in the room. Shining your light in, you can see that it's a staircase leading lower and lower with no end in sight. Why would a temple be built over a cavern like this?
Utilise random dungeon time.
[4] You decide to make use of your time as best you can, by trying to find the prostitutes. Checking throughout the brothel, you don't find them. Then just as you are about to leave a lady enters, you are in one of the "private chambers". Guessing purely by the state of her clothing, you would say this is one of the girls who "works" here and not the madam.
Root for Serious and inspire him with confidence!
[6] "With all the trolls busy, nobody will notice a little magic." you say to yourself, whipping up a quick spell to give confidence to Malgun. It works and you can see he's ready to finish this fight now.

I'm hurt, but so is she, from the looks of things. If I can get her down then the fight is already mostly over. I just have to knock her over... so I shoot forward into a sprint and throw a shoulder at her midsection, attempting to overbalance her and send her crashing through a table.
[3+1=4] [4+2=6] You run forward towards the Troll and plant your shoulder into her stomach, throwing her up into the air and knocking over a table on her way down. She looks a bit dazed, but is back on her feet sooner than you would have liked.
Keep working and hope that the trolls can shed some light as well.
[6] Finally, you've successfully decoded the book, even before Dor'lek and Sentinel arrive. You show them the book and explain how you decoded it. "(5 of 5, SUCCESS)
Looking over at the full notes you realize the crystal you are holding is the soul prison of a demon lord, and that by enchanting it, you can produce a variety of long lasting, powerful effects as the crystal amplifies any enchantment cast upon it. It is also linked to the Ancient Portal. The book details 6 crystals and a fallen deity that originally opened the Ancient Portal. It would seem you have found the first in the set.
