Initially suspecting the book to be a hidden switch, Sam finds it much more concerning. The equivalent to an artifact dagger hidden under one's pillow, tucked into a hidden compartment within the pages. Still wearing a stern expression, he tucks the deadly page into his pack, not trusting to leave it in the hands of this paranoid madman. More worrying is the thought that he might have more.
And the instinctive tingle on his tongue.
The other scroll hidden within could well be useful to their investigation, and Sam lingers with it in his hand. Taking it would not be a necessity to protect others, so he struggles to find justification in taking it. Instead, he sets it back in the book and returns it to the shelf.
If someone else chooses to take it, that is their choice, he reasons.
"A dangerous and concerning spell scroll contained within. The Power Word of killing, a tool with murder in its purpose. We should be concerned that it may not be the wizard's only such scoll," he announces. "I will confiscate it for now, to see it destroyed later." It's not even a part of his disguise. Sam feels as repulsed by the page's promise of total violence as he is tempted by it.
"Few counters to such a spell," the imp's invisible voice speaks. "One would need to ensure he could not speak it."
Spoiler: ActionsTake Power Word Kill. It is too dangerous to leave unattended.
