public class Scroll
extends AbstractItem

A scroll that will display an HTML page in a modal dialog. The url you provide should be relative to the scenario URL (the text must be distributed as part of the scenario). Scrolls have a name in order to distinguish them since their contents differ.

A scroll can be created without an URL to a document to read. In that case, it works more like a marker piece. For example, an NPC could give the player a "Writ of Introduction" that just serves to unlock another part of the game.
