Ulric and Highbough; the Concourse Library

Ulric and Highbough can each undertake research of their choice. They have two unidentified items (the spear and the potion bottle) whose purpose they could uncover, or else they could research new spells, or else other lore or their choice.

What to do?

Highbough would like to identify the items first, then if there's any time left over, do some secret research (as per our PM's).

There is as much time as you want to take. So long as you can fund your activities.

Presumably Highbough would like to start researching the spear? In which case I will assume that Ulric will pursue the potion...

Yes, the spear first... might need some guidance from Ulric how to proceed. [img]images/smiley/smiley.png[/img]

Ulric does indeed take the potion and begins his research. He first consults the Abridged Tongues of the Underworld which he holds in his possession to see if he can find similar writing to that engraved on the flask.

Highbough begins research on the spear. For starters he takes note of its materials, decorations, method of construction, likely age, and distinguishing features. Then he checks these facts against the available literature.

By the steady little flames of the pair of lanterns they have do Ulric and Highbough set about their research...

The Concourse Library is mainly an archive of legal proceedings, treatise, trade agreements and so on. However, already known to Ulric, is the smaller collection of tomes and scrolls relevant to the pursuit of a more obscure arcana, and this is where the pair begin their meditations.

In no time at all they are completely consumed amid the dusty shelves of tomes and scrolls and piles of ancient paperworks... Ulric (1d6=6!) and Highbough (1d6=6!).

Six hours seems to pass in a blink, but the afternoon is fully gone, and the evening well and truly begun before the duo each have uncovered what they seek. By this time hunger is gnawing insistently at their bellies, and a genuine thirst parches their throats.

But they have knowledge (check your messages).

The Plough and Furrow

Ulric and Highbough are at the Concourse library.

Josiane, Dorgan, Guntram, Desmond/Mondes, and Gustave are at the cemetery.

Everybody else is settling into the rooms at The Plough and making comfortable for the afternoon... looking forward to a good night's rest (and levelling up!).

Highbough whistles a jaunty Elf tune as he catches Ulric's attention and points his chin in the direction of the Plough and Furrow.

Ulric nods his approval and collects his things.

"There will be time enough for more studying later. Now let's go get some food and some more rest. I intend to be back here tomorrow."

Back to the Plough and Furrow.
