Deciding all is well, he continues, "I will seek out my good friend the blacksmith, with the ill news that his last superbly crafted bastion is no more, and ask of him another - shield that is."

"I think a small detour en-route may see us in a position to do something with these...coins."

I believe one of the Halflings is responsible for Murphy the mule...

Highbough memorizes The Rhyme of Exiguous Glamour, Highbough's Torrefaction, and The Acclivitous Smaze. Then he sneaks out for a few errands, avoiding the goblins on his way out.

He visits the bakery and the farmers market. As he walks, his head is down and he is secretly thinking about the sword. He's on the lookout for any kind of cracker or flatbread approximating lembas. He also buys an apple for breakfast and some vegetables pleasing to his Elf palate, to have the goblins prepare a soup: turnip, radish, parsnip, burdock, and any herbs he can find that are believed to have a restorative and tonic effect.

Then he visits the general store and stocks up on lantern oil and wicks for the delve into the cellar...

Desmond looks at Josiane and shrugs. "Beats me! Maybe... maybe it was Wiberts?"

Desmond agrees to go with Gustave to the armourer and to pick up a sling while he is there. Then, once the order has been completed, he'll follow Gustave to meet up with his 'coin dealer' and see about unloading all of the coins in exchange for local money.

Mondes gives a wicked grin, "Yeah, I bought him while Noggin' here was passed out,"

But he would be willing to chip in for others to procure hired hands, or maybe help pay for a mule or some such thing...

On the seventh day, Desmond/Mondes (adorned in his great hooded cloak) goes shopping for a mule at the market, and before lunch he has found just the animal. A fair tempered and stout little beast called Murphy, purchased for 16 silver shillings.

Ulric drops one gold and six silver coins into the company fund box and looks around to the others to do the same. He then informs Bennug that this box is for his use to supply the house.

Ulric goes to his room and sets himself to studying The Word of Anthracite Sufferance, The Exigent Secernment, and Ulric's Lyre of Inveiglement from his great tomb of magic.

Once this is finished he will begin to study one of Flewellen's spell scrolls to unlock it's secrets.

OOC: I assume that we will be taking at least a day 'off' to resupply rest, and study and then make a foray into the cellar to explore what is hidden below us.

Josiane hurries outside to see that Murphy the mule has enough food and water and gives his coat a good brush.
