Without waiting to see if Janis concurs with Sir Khensu's motions to let him look the case over and open it, Jarrith snatches it from the center of the table and spends a couple minutes examining the case for... well pretty much anything. But primarily anything that might destroy the contents inside if the case is opened incorrectly. He didn't expect to find anything like that (since there would be no reason to destroy a request for help), but he learned long ago that people often do foolish things.

"Lucky for you as well, I should think"... Jarrith says over his shoulder to the courier who appears to want to leave post haste. "If we hadn't been here... you'dve had to continue on your journey much, much longer looking for 'heroes'. So I think luck is all around us. The people of Barovia looking for a hero... you looking for a hero... and we looking for Barovia."
After examining the case and doing whatever is necessary to open it safely... Jarrith pulls the cap from the scrollcase and then reaches in to pull out the contents.
"And with a bit more luck... we'll be able to speak the language these papers are written in. If that fellow's accent is any indication... we might need that luck to hold out."
