"Yes, my friend and I are scholars in search of historical knowledge," Ulric explains casually. "Your library is most impressive."

Ulric writes his name in the ledger with the purpose of "Historical research." He pulls a silver shilling from his pouch and places it on the ledger.

After leaving the temple to return tomorrow, Wibert will return to the Plough and Furrow to see what is happening. On the way he will have a look around Ket on the way to get to know his way around town, but keeping out of trouble.

If Josiane sees Dorgan's wave she takes this to be the sign she has been waiting for (not as spiritual in its nature as she was expecting, but unquestionably a sign nonetheless) and hurries across.

"Well now..." she breathes softly as she takes in the yawning graves and looming crypt.

She turns her attention first to the graves. Do they appear to be completely new or is there any sign that there have been bodies buried here that have since been removed? She is also looking for headstones, names and dates.

After that, she turns her attention to the tomb and particularly to any inscriptions that might adorn it. She wishes to know the name of the one that lies within...

She leaves the examination of the entrance proper to Dorgan, trusting to the Dwarf's keen eye. "Beware of traps," she whispers to him; "If this place has any connection to our 'accquaintance' of yesterday I doubt it will stand unguarded."

Highbough follows Ulric's lead and writes "historical research" next to his name in the ledger. He will pay the shilling and enter.

(Dorgan and Josiane, please go to thread 31 A Cemetery Muckrake. If anyone else who is presently unoccupied at The Plough and Furrow wishes to join this investigation, please state your intent in this thread.)

Desmond/Mondes at last manages finds the fisherman's wallet he desires from one of the many itinerant merchants pushing their various wares about town. It cost him 3sp.

"A new set o' field plate we can do fer you in...", the smith scratches his thick chin as he figures, "A week, if all goes well. I'll need from ya half payment ta start, and half on completion."

tonneau wrote: "Perhaps you have a fine shield and helm available for purchase in the meantime?" he says, turning his mind back to the present task, gazing around the well-stocked smithy and remembering some comment of the newly arrived fighting lady about something called a 'vampeer'.

"O' course we have shields an' helms a plenty," he waves his hand in the general direction of the completed stock of items they have racked at the rear of the smithy. There are indeed half a dozen shields and a few helms present among gates, horseshoes, hinges, tubs, cauldrons and other works of steel and iron...

(You can purchase anything from the regular price list that you can afford; just say what you need.)

Once measured up for his new armour, Gustave purchases a helm and gleaming metal shield from the same vendor before returning to the Plough.

There, he momentarily weighs up the heavy issue of whether to aid the missing lady and dwarf in their endevours, or to indulge in a long-awaited pastry, before deiciding the pastry will just have to wait until the walking dead are vanquished.

He dons his tattered ringmail, lamenting the time it will take to fashion his new armour and, taking up his shiny new shield and helm, sets off after the newcomers.

"Graveyard was it?", he enquires of any left at the Plough, "Anyone else interested in a pre-dinner sortee?"

Excellent. Will update character sheet with the expense.
