Creating an RPG Style Scrolling Text Effect.

Hello all,

I am currently working on building a game using the Slick2D engine. I am looking to make an RPG. The engine does not have what I am looking for as far as displaying text goes. I am looking to achieve the effect you would see in classic games like Final Fantasy 3 or Mario RPG where the text would "scroll inside the box" that was beneath the character. Are there any libraries I could use to achieve this easily? If not, what would be the best approach?
