Ulric waits for a moment to see who else is going and then moves off in the direction of the library.

He strides across the stones to shake the his old comrades hand but is overcome by a hacking fit halfway and doubles over coughing uncontrollably for several minutes.

When he lifts his face again it is visible whitened.

"...Actually, old man", he continues in a more subdued tone, "we seek aid and wonder if you might point us in the right direction."

He glances back at his companions, "I and young Desmond here - that's the one with the huge head - seem to have rather unserendipitously imbibed upon some mal-air in some dungeon or other - and its left us feeling rather...unwell."

"I wonder if one of suitable healing arts can be (cough) found within?", he finishes with a hopeful grin.

Dorgan waits until Gustave is done speaking and then interjects himself into the conversation.

And also, we're interested in some down-low goings-on in the cemetery next ta yer fine Temple. If'n there's a priest or some such personage who might have seen anyone goin' in or out lately, whether dead or alive, I'd be much obliged if'n you could make an introduction.

Wibert waits a moment for Pelenwin to hear his friends requests and smiles with a boyish face anyone can trust. "Hi Pelenwin, I pray thee can help us out. By chance have you and the Deacon been able to complete your identification of our items I dropped off yesterday?" asks the halfling hopefully.

Josiane trots along after Ulric and Highbough, feeling a little overawed to be in such learned company...

"Why don't Dieter and I do that?" Olaf says, "Then we'll go to the Trader's Concourse and see if there is an estate broker there."

Olaf opens the door to the Money Changer's shop, walks inside and looks around.

OOC: If he is going to be changing money, he would have brought his share of the money with him. He will want to change the coppers into silver to make the load lighter.

Dieter would have, too.

Olaf & Dieter; The Crumenal

Inside, Olaf sees the narrow premises is neat and clean. A small bell on the back of the door tinkles as he enters and two thick-necked lads dressed in ridiculously tight formal shirts with starched cuffs and collars and bright brassy buttons look up from their formal chairs, but make no move. These are apparently "the help", although neither offer to help the fighting-Men with their burdens.

Behind a small counter at the far end of the narrow room an impeccably dressed, balding and bespectacled Goblin observes Dieter and Olaf carefully as they approach. Re-evaluating their net worth with every pace.

"Yyyyess?" inquires the Snork.

Josiane, Ulric and Highbough; The Concourse Library

The trio of scholars stride purposefully up the broad stair before the Concourse, moving through the milling merchant-folk and their body guards and aides. These are some scores of the best dressed Men and Snorks Josiane has ever seen, all yabbering on at each other, gesticulating theatrically, negotiating who knows what ends?

But soon they are past this gaggle and into the great Concourse lobby, where Ulric and Highbough make straight for the concierge's counter.

"The library isn't open to the public until the hour before noon," sneers the crabby old fellow triumphantly as the bizarre trio reach his desk.
