[@The Large Dumbo]First of all, I would LOVE to take a look at that book. Maybe cast Detect magic on it? I'll likely need dispel magic which I planned to take in the future anyway. I'll be sure to say something in character in my next post, and no I don't have any proficiency that might help. I say we just go for it. Do rowboats need a lot of skill? If you want to hire someone, I say mention checking the tavern.
