Epitaph/Sketchbook quest

I have the journal entry under my tasks.....and i have gone in and found the book. All it does is open but does not give the book. Is this another broken quest? Or has it not been implemented yet. Seems to me it worked once from somewhere i read but now its not working

 

Drag it into your inventory.

 

Ummm dont think that will work but i will try it later. And was hard to do with green slimes attacking me. I went down the wrong side of the staircase and ran into some stuff i didnt want to. LOL. When all else fails...veer to the left...never go to the right. LMAO
In the process of trying to get to Necropolis. Got to the door where the spirit talker was but got ganked by an archer and mage. LOL. Gotta regroup my thoughts and wits and go back for another run. The run from the ankh was as bad as standing on the stairs. LOL

 

You have always the choice to simpy read it or take it with you. If you want to finish the quest you have to take it - I did it three days ago and I can assure you it is working

The slimes are nasty but beware the big troll
