Give me that! I'll read it.

I grab the book before Lillipad can pass it, and try to skim the contents to figure out what it's about.

I said I was handing it to IronyOwl. You'd have to try and wrestle it from my hands to get it.

Norrec digs through the rubble and finds a human skeleton! It seems to have been holding the book, actually. He might have been crushed by falling stones, or hastily buried under them after they fell.

Kogan snatches the book and pulls it open. He skims the pages, but doesn't find anything interesting except the BLAAAAAAAAAAR but he manages to keep his sanity. There is probably something really good in that part, but attempting to read it instinctively repulses the reader.

Looks like you get to take this part Norrec.

I'll wander off in the direction my hard-boiled instincts tell me to.

I suggest Norrec try to read it. Imma take a bone and whittle it into a nice sceptre.

Norrec would be the worst person to read it. You'd have to be insane to be able to look at it.

Haha, I got to do something useful!

I hand the book to Rolan's character.

Rolan's the best person to do it now that we know this.

I have no changes to my hard-boiled wandering.

Actually, instead of a sceptre, I'll try to turn the hands into bone gauntlets. :D

Inspect the skeleton, attempt to determine race, and see if there's any other surviving possessions.

Shade-o already indicated that the skeleton was human.

Ask the skull if his name is Murray

That's a joke action btw.

Try to identify what could have roots so far beneath the surface, as most surface plants don't have any roots that extend this deep.

Doh. Unaware strikes again.

Seeing if it's got any more possessions stands, however.

"Uh, well, I'll give it a try.  Just, why are you all looking at me like that?"
Take a look in the book, wondering what all the fuss is about.

Tholtig inspects the skeleton, and determines that they were a human who died of hunger and cold, judging by their skinniness and lack of clothes.

Adil gets the book passed to her and she innocently reads it. Denrhymed, too. They read deeply and after they're done, Adil is struck by INTENSE KNOWLEDGE, but is not completely insane.

Norrec frowns at the concept of roots and soil being so far below the surface. Unless they weren't actually very far down... or the earth movement carried them down here. It's a mystery, it is. Or a plot hole.

Gar wears the skeleton like a suit of armour. Everybody looks disgusted.
