The Book Of Bad Dreams
Obviously, Tut's post should've come before my previous post, hence the asking ZOM-G about the Knights of Armek. This kinda thing happens more often with lots of posters. TIME PARADOX
So yes, the Sword of Greyhelm is a +2 Longsword with a kick-ass special power.
Tut, on the one hand, ZOM-G would give up his chainsaw if you could provide him with a great magic item. On the other hand, it's a chainsaw, not a buzzsaw, so it's totally incompatible with your Unarmed Combat Spec. You'd be non-proficient.
And yeah, you guys have a chainsaw from the first KoA you took down, in the mirror world. I think Brogg has it?

The Book of Bad Dreams is something special. After thorough ID, let me tell you a bit about it. You can also get some of this info if you I BOBD in the Literature Terminal.
The Book of Bad Dreams is an artifact. It has six chapters, and each is a small story. However, once you start to read it, you'll fall asleep almost immediately and enter a dream world. Alone in the Land of Nightmares, you have to escape or you'll die. Not really die, just wake up in a sweat and get no rest that night. You can try to escape from a chapter later if you want.
The book is, oddly enough, a self-help guide, i.e., the goal of the book is to make you a better person by facing your fears, i.e., by raising your stats. Each chapter raises one stat permanently +1, then becomes forever blank. The book has never been used, hence it's got all six chapters. First person to solve a chapter, gets the stat bonus, then it's useless. The chapters and their attributes are:
I: The Good Son (STR)
II: The Haunting of Danvers Abbey (INT)
III: Buried Alive (WIS)
IV: The Thing Under the Bed (DEX)
V: Vs. (CON)
VI: The Wedding (CHA)
As this is essentially a 'side-quest', expect no help or advice from me in escaping, or figuring out any more than has already been mentioned. You don't even have to fuck around with this thing if you don't want to. No guarantees as to ease, fairness, or arbitrariness. You've been warned.
