Just tried it and it worked!  Thanks so much for the help.  I managed to convince my girlfriend to play through the whole series with me as a replacement for movie night.  She's loving it, but we're moving slow enough that I can forge ahead and find these issues with my own single player file.  We started this as a Valentines thing -- she's a cleric of Helm, and I'm a sort of absent-minded, Don Quixote-esque cavalier acting as her guardian.  This made my (and soon to be her, though she'll hardly notice) day!  Thanks again!

EDIT: I thought about it a bit more and I'm positive that I read that scroll the moment I looted it -- as I do with every such story related scroll.  I wonder if I just moved out of the area too quickly for the script to complete . . . just an afterthought.
