Afterwards, a Detect Magic spell works on the Helm. The following day he’ll memorize Identify and see the score he just grabbed.
Meanwhile, he also learns Comprehend Languages, to cast on the letters he can’t read. He used that first, pre-ID, and the letter is from a High Priest of Nabilah named Xanathon, written to Marduq, calling him the future Sheikh of Ber-Gathy. The wheels are now in motion and the pronouncement of war against the centaurs is forth-coming. Little resistance is coming, and the curse that Xanathon laid is working.
After doing some inquiring, the Temple of Nabilah here in Ber-Gathy is where Xanathon can be found…
The same trick is probably not going to work twice with investigating.
On their way to the temple, a fourth decree can be heard:
“Be it known to all that His Benign Munificence Sheikh Alzar has declared that following official decree:
Whereas it is apparent to all but the most feeble minded that the sun is the most illustrious of heavenly bodies,
And whereas it is of utmost importance to maintain the goodwill of this most blazing orb of flame during the coming strife,
It is hereby decreed that the burning of all combustible materials – to wit wood, dung, oil, cloth, peat, etc – is outlawed during the period of the sun’s resting, lest we incur the jealous wrath of his most hateful self!
Such is the word of the Sheikh of Ber-Gathy”
Man this guy….
