Although this tablet is covered with a thick layer of dust, you can tell
that it is much newer than anything else in the area.  It is not made from a
very sturdy material, you can still make out the inscription, which is
written in an ancient but decipherable dialect.  You should be able to
translate the inscription by reading over it more carefully.

Long description: A large tablet made from yellow clay has been left here.
This item can be found in Domain of Arbaces.

After many epic battles, the party had finally reached the end of their
long journey through the mysterious dungeon. As they walked down a long,
twisting passageway, they realized that a strange old man was standing in
wait.
"Ah, I see you have come at last," the old man said, smiling faintly.
"The prophecy said it would be so. In order to proceed, you must discover
the true name of the one who dwells within. Have you the three sacred
tablets?"
"Yes," replied the Hero solemnly.
"Very well. Give to me the first part of the name," the old man said.
The Hero bestowed upon the guardian a heavy tablet of silver. "Aye,"
said the old man. "This is the one. Give to me the second part of the
name."
The Hero bestowed upon the guardian a heavy tablet of bronze. "Aye,"
said the old man. "This is the one. Give to me the final part of the name,
and your journey will be finished at last."
Reaching deep into his satchel, the Hero produced a tablet of gold.
"This is truly a day to be remembered for all time," said the old man.
"You are indeed worthy to have come this far. Proceed, and complete your
destiny."
The party went forth triumphantly, reaching the final exit. However, as
they moved to pass through, a strange force blocked their passage.
"Alas, it is not our destiny to pass this way now," said the cavalier.
"Please Sire, go forth and find success. We shall be waiting for you when
you return." The others nodded their assent.
The wizard began to speak the words of a spell, and she and her three
companions were enveloped by swirling light. As it faded they disappeared,
leaving the Hero alone. With a look of determination, the mighty Hero known
as Agrippa passed through the doorway to complete his quest.
