“You may be the most capable. But I'm the most worthy.” Kain said as he walked into the room without hesitation and knelt down next to the book. He looked it over before picking it up and kicking the chest before him, seeing if blunt force would be enough to open it. “What grand adventure is complete without treasure and the unknown?”

Glancing around the room he scoffed. “Seems like those markings were just for show, I don't see anything here.” He called back to the group as he opened the book to see what it contained within, using his appraisal skill on it.
