Nothing happens as you approach it. Emily comes with you. "Careful," she warns, "Mom's had many bad experiences with books before she ascended. There are bad books."

[Iron Dragoon]

"Such as the book that's the reason we're here? Either we walk away or open it...."

"We open it," Xandra says, "Let us not pretend this is not designed."

"I see no reason not to," Dolmaya seconds, "It should be opened."

[Nephrite]

"Yes, agreed." Moore says. "Go on."

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa uses her TK to open it!

[Anastasia]

The book opens. Amazingly, no terror immediately emerges and no calamity happens.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa begins to read!

The path is not the path.

I am the path.

[Iron Dragoon]

Alyssa furrows her brow and starts flipping through the pages.

[Anastasia]

Give me an immediate Will save.

[Iron Dragoon]

Do Moore bonus apply, Neph?

[Nephrite]

They don't.

[Iron Dragoon]

[Anastasia]

[Iron Dragoon]

Depends on the source, but I don't think anything that applies here.
