Do be careful using aoe abilites on this quest, as it seems actually hitting anyone but the one you're trying to get a scroll from will automatically drop your disguise, aggroing anything else nearby.
Which can get especially nasty if you happen to be near one of the many elites scattered about the area.
It must be a bug, but I like how one of the responses is: "I know better than to keep one of Ninadar's scrolls for too long."
....and then they look you square in the eye and run off without giving you the scroll.

What to do
Description
One of the... more regrettable duties of the Mistress of Tomes is the collation and maintenance of our scroll library. Unfortunately, many of our acolytes are less than prompt when it comes to returning items they have borrowed, which requires me to seek them out and retrieve them myself. Of course, this is far too menial a task for a baroness, but that is why lackeys like you exist. Go, and retrieve my scrolls. Feel free to use whatever persuasive means you have at your disposal.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Mistress of Tomes
The kyrian will no doubt make a worthy sacrifice for our ritual, but I am not entirely versed with the magics of his kind. I have requested that the Baroness Ninadar assemble a list of appropriate literature, so that I can ensure my ritual will have the desired effect.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Errant Enchantments
The House of Rituals is a place of constant study. Every day, new incantations and formulae are concocted to further the arts of necromancy. It can be difficult to keep track of such innovation. To aid in cataloguing our progress, our sorcerers have applied the use of enchanted quills and parchment.

The House of Rituals has 25 steps, from House of Rituals to The Better Part of Valor.
