My apologies gentlemen; I originally understated the cost of the manse at number eight Eagle Street. It in fact costs 600 silver per month, but I rather suspect this will not affect your decision; especially seeing as elaborate plans are already being laid for the use of the dungeon...

"I may require one or two more days of study before heading back into the darkness," Ulric says to the group. "That way we can head into danger as well prepared as possible."

OOC: Way, if I am reading the description correctly, Ulric should be able to memorize The Effable Apperception and quickly decipher his remaining books and scrolls. I'm also assuming that the new spells Ulric discovered were also copied into his spellbook during the week of study.

Josiane blushes a very pretty shade of red and smiles gratefully at Gustave the Magnificent, her eyes shining.

(The Heavenly Spirit of Saint Winifred is positively hopping up and down and shouting all manner of dire admonishments in her ear...)

"Then it is settled, we shall strike at the walking dead where their grave corpses rot," Pelenwin announces. "But with Josiane's information, I say we keep a keen eye for men of magic, too. These warehouse men may not be all what they first appear." He pauses, "But let us head out at night. I would meet thieves in action and have something to show the Deacon of their newfound treason. Give us the day to set our affairs in order.

Pelenwin will take Josiane's scrolls with a gracious smile and nod, careful to heed her warning. In exchange we will grant her the The Innocent Opus once the company has settled its plans.

"...at night?", echoes Gustave questioningly.

"Far be it from me to question a man of your expertise my dear Pelenwin, but I for one do not see to well in the dark, and furthermore, though I am not well versed in the ways of the dead, I do have it on the authority of numerous old-wives and storytellers that the dead tend to be in their element in the witching hours... Perhaps a day approach - say just after a good lunch - is more suitable?", he retorts, brow raised.

Desmond nods emphatically at Gustave's suggestion of adventuring during the day time.

Pelenwin nods. "I do not wish to challenge your courage."

"Yes...well, most magnanimous of you old chap most...magnanimous...", mumbles Gustave with something of a smirk on his lips.

Dorgan snorts at the back and forth between Pelenwin and Gustave.

"I'd hope we made it past the first room in the tomb this time around. So whatever gets people movin' down them hallways is ok with me."

"One should not enter the halls of the dead lightly," Ulric says calmly. "I would hope that our recent experiences would have shown you this Pelenwin. Courage is one thing; but why willingly march into the lair of our enemies when they are strongest? Let us explore in the light first; in the darkness if necessary."

"I hope we make it through this first chamber as well Dorgan," Ulric then says to the dwarf. "It sounds very similar to another chamber we entered in our last expedition. Doing so summoned a host of fiery demons. We lost a good man to them. Mads was his name."

Ulric raises his cup in salute to the fallen and drinks deeply.
