A dead scribe's desk, a scroll with one question, and a key hidden somewhere in the room.
The scribe of the drowned abbey left a single scroll open on his desk. Its question is simple, and the room around it holds the answer for anyone who looks carefully. Search the desk, then tell the scroll where the key lies, in words or with a finger.
The scroll lies open, weighted at the corners with river stones.
