Parasol Syndicate

Thanks for digging that up.

I see. I guessed that might be the case. What's annoying is that without having that book, 2 out of 3 of those people won't offer later quests, since there's no way to end the quest after reading it. (P will presumably offer his other quests). I'm not sure what I'd change here, but offering you a quest you are unable to complete seems unsatisfactory. The NPCs should be able to acknowledge that it's undoable, at least.

Recent lurker making the jump to query. In my first playthrough of EftP, I immediately decided I wanted Demonslayer. this leads to me entering Drath's crypt at level 17 for the final piece. Unsurprisingly, my hindquarters are thoroughly kicked, but i get the tip, and read drath's spellbook, gaining the unique skill. After several attempts to kill the boss, I give up, and leave. A full 10 LEVELS LATER, I am sent back to retrieve the book. This time, I am able to fight Drath, and do so. However, I can not interact with the spellbook at all. Nor is there a dialogue option to abort the quest. Due to my... somewhat nonlinear exploration, I'm not sure this counts as a bug, but it's obnoxious to not be able to complete this quest. Any advice/options?
