An intercepted Missive:

[Volgathras]

Vutravikyr,

In tandem with employing the efforts of the blue dragon, I have put my own mind to deciphering the scroll in your possession. As you suspected, it's original language has been absent from this plane for eons. However, there were texts that permitted me to translate it. The books were badly rotted by time and moisture. I do expect compensation for this effort...

In the ancient demon tongue:

Ok'vol Lar gotham Dek'tahl fal'morath agh gornam fetaal,

Ok'vol ton gaf'tel da quen Volmaharath,

Ok'vol chuan gol'galthoram canfahl de xyngal,

Hathhol, domvela li togram, shi malgabba:

-Guhl Baal'Garash shun fulmarrow.

-Guhl fehnvol de empharh

-Fahm Baal kaltah baogash

-Fahm fuhror heilm wethmahas

Li diem jingar Baal kahnvash bu,

Guhl lagh vallum, goraahl ok'vol qurash,

Ok'vol qurash shoxian, he chogham lithzasharash.

Translated:

Gb tnva serrqbz sebz gur obaqf bs haubyl pbzznaqzrag,

Gb erfpvaq gur ynjf bs urnirayl qbzvanapr,

Gb ghea sebz gur pbhagranapr bs fhowhtngvba,

Urerva, uvqqra va gbathr, vf gur frperg:

-Gur qrivy\'f pubfra sybjre.

-Gur cbjqre bs tybjvat chevgl.

-N tbq\'f purevfurq gernfher.

-N synzr bs qnex bevtvaf.

Va n cynpr jurer gur rlrf bs tbqf qner abg snyy,

Gur vgrzf pbzovar, perngr va beqre gb qrfgebl,

I still have not divined it's meaning, but I feel we are drawing close. The Demon Lord will regret underestimating us.
