Stuck on Chapter 4

[Spike]

I can't seem to read about the Alias book to proceed in the game. I followed the walkthorugh and did what they said to do, but I can't seem to be able to read the book so I can talk to the ship captain and proceed with the game.

After reading about sea creatures, you have to talk to the old sailor, the captain and Brian Westhouse to unlock more books in the library. I believe the story from Brian Westhouse is the one that leads you to the next step.

I'm stuck here too. I seem to have exhausted all the NPCs' dialogues. Brian Westhouse refuses to tell me any story at all.. =(

Try going back to Abnaxos, ask him if he can answer some questions, hell then bring up the sky people, ask more about them. This triggers the old sailor and grumpy sailor outside to have new dialogue. Had this issue for hours until discovering what triggered the next event. After you talk to him about a new story return to the library and ask about mermen under the "I'm looking for some info" dialogue. You can also ask Brian after reading it and hell have stories about the flying people. This triggers another book hidden under "I'm looking for some info"
from there talk to the guy with the ship and then the old sailor which finally triggers the cupholder bird option. The hidden dialogue and yoyoing between characters makes it complicated.
