Don't you all just love how fun this game can be?!

This is my 2nd time through. I restarted after I simply got too strong by reloading to get good items from chests. This go-around I'm trying to play the game as I believe it was intended (what a chest has, a chest has). I do have a frost sword and when things get really tough I break out the scorpions.

Currently, I'm doing the quests for the Warrior Guild in the Dark Forest. I have gone beneath the Guild in search of the Eye of the Cyclops. On the second level (where you have to pull the chains to open each door in succession N,S,W,E) I have come across an open slate in the West Wing (not the show!). Although I don't get an indication that there is a ladder to go down (though it looks like it) by putting my cursor over it, I can in fact click and go down below.

Down below is a small room with 3 lion statues and a scroll on a pedestall called the Kaa-Ja Rent scroll (or something like that). If I click on it I get a picture of an indian that is similar to the wooden pennies. There is script but not one I am familiar with. I can't pick up or move the scroll and nothing appears to happen.

The really odd thing is that when I climb back UP the ladder I can't go back down...it's like fa one time shot.

Anyone know anything about this? I did do a search but came up empty. My guess is that it is something that is either abandoned (no use) or is something yet to come.

Any information/spoiler would be appreciated.
