Scroll of Disappointment.

Post by H.Banestone »

I come to the druid house and try to read a recipe scroll.
Turns out, I cannot read it, because it is in a language I don't read.
But the bastard still took my skill, 3 levels of blacksmithing.

How can a scroll effect its curse, if I wasn't able to read the contents?
What's the logic behind that one?
Talk about buying a cat in the bag. I want my smithing levels back.

Touch the cursed scroll ..you get cursed.
Don't touch it..no curse.
Bad luck you cant read.

Right. The warning is written somewhere in the three introduction books.

I think there also is a warning clicking the scrolls, though has been awhile. As I recall, Achae lost so much library skill had trouble reading common for a little. :D

The warning comes up -after- you hit the scroll, so it's too late.
I could read the warnings fine, i was ready to lose some skill, but I didn't know I wasnt gonna be able to read em. I read the rest of druid books okay.
How high does Library Research have to be to read them? Mine's already bright green.
