Kerlan first checks the common room. Seeing Kerlan looking for someone, a waitress/barmaid figures who he might be seeking, and points to the ceiling. "He's up in his room. Had lunch sent up about half an hour ago."
When Kerlan gets up to the Magus's room, he finds the door open, invitingly. When he enters, he sees the Magus reclining on the settee, the remains of his recent meal on a plate on the table, and picking his teeth. "Ah, my good Kerlan! And what can I do you for today," he says with a wink.

Capizzio is following behind Kerlin being as stealty as possible in his steps, but not hiding at all. when Kerlin reaches the open door and the voice of Magus crus is heard, Cappi will clear his throat, just to let them know he is there.
"Yes, come in, come in, Capizzio. No need to be coughing up phlegm on the floor out lthere, I've known bull elephants to make quieter approaches than that."
OOC: Capizzio isn't too hurt, because he knows he was being pretty danged sneaky. Hmm, maybe the old geezer has his hearing aids turned WAYYY up or something?
Kerlan smiles back. "Good day Magus. We have just finished with the preparations for out next expedition. We plan to help Lord Kyle with the White Fist Orcs. We have scribed some spells, made some magical items, and we have read a large collection of books about the Underdark that we found behind that door in the cellar. Do you have any information about the White Fist Orcs or the area they may be in?" Kerlan also tells him everything they have learned about the orcs, including their dealings with the Hobgoblins at the keep and the Underdark entrance there.

"Ahh, that is good, Kerlan, I am sure that the people of Pembrose will be very grateful for this help. The White Fist Orcs, if my information is correct, and I have no reason to doubt that it is, make their lair fairly deep within the Gaskar Hills to the south of the Quail River, somewhere on the order of 20-25 miles to the southeast of Pembrose. Sadly, I do not have more intelligence to give to you about these villains. Although, I will tell you that I have heard stories that there is a wicked priest who lives in a small warren of caves not too far from the White Fist Orcs in the Gaskar Hills. Evil little halfling he is, priest of Nergal. Take care if you run across him, for I understand that he has a number of pet worgs. Nasty beasts those!"
"Sadly, I do not have more intelligence to give to you about these villains."
"That's OK Magus. I'm sure that Lord Kyle will have more information, and when we get closer we may be able to find out more for ourselves." Kerlan reaches into his Haversack and pulls out a couple of random books from their new collection as well at the Journal. "We are not quite sure what to do with the books we found. There are 150 in all and we considered taking it back to the Academy. Also, we found this Journal that appears to have been made by Larin Karr. The collection must have been his as well." Kerlan shows the books and journal to the Magus.

The Magus perks right up when you show him the books. "Oh, indeed! Fascinating. Yes, I'm sure that the faculty at Whirtlestaff's would be most grateful to receive these for the library. Old Richard will be beside himself with glee! I'm sure that they will give you fair compensation for the gift as well," the Magus winks at Kerlan.
OOC: You know that he is referring to the Chief Librarian at Whirtlestaff's, Richard Whitewash, who is a Bard of considerable power.
Xavier waits downstairs sipping an herbal tea, spiked with some dwarven spirits, toasting the others who are dealing with the details while he enjoys what will be his lat civilized meal in a while. The thought of battling orcs entertained the young human, after the exhiliration of the assault on the hobgoblins, who are much smarter, but weaker foes, the thought of dealing with the brutish orcs to test out his newly scribed spells made him smile evilly. They will not know what hit them, he almost felt bad for the creatures...almost.

Xavier is falling into the trap that's so easy for spellcasters to fall into, overconfidence. This will be fun
"Of course, of course. That's not a problem. Also, if you would like to look at any of the other books we can leave them here with you." Kerlan hands over the Journal, as well as any of the books he might want, even all of them if he so desires. "I believe we shall take our leave now and go see Lord Kyle. Until later Magus." Kerlan gives his farewells to Crus and leaves to see Lord Kyle along with the others, when they are ready.

"Thank you once again, Kerlan, but just the journal should be sufficient to occupy my time. If you have no objection, I'll take charge of the remaining books to have them transported to Whirtlestaff's. Oh, yes, and what do you expect to receive in return for this most generous donation? Gold? Tuition Waivers? Spells? Items of Power, perhaps?"

"Sure, that would be fine. I spent many an hour in that library. Could you please send my regards to Whitewash for me? As for any kind of compensation, I think whatever the school believes is best would be fine with me." Kerlan begins emptying out the books from his Haversack and whoever else has the rest will follow suit. "Now off to Lord Kyle. Until next time." Kerlan smiles and heads out the door. Along with the others, he heads down to see Lord Kyle.

As Capizzio sees Kerlin emptyieing out his haversack of books on the underdark, he does likewise. "now magus, it is best to have a full understanding of such places like the underdark, for you never know when the denizens from such a place may issue forth and plague the lands of the sun sunlit skys.Also, I just though of this...I wonder if the writer may have some sort of secret pages in his journal?...." he then takes his leave and heads to the table where Xavier is and starts in on his last civilized meal at Boris' .
Restless from her studies, Tylara lets the others talk with the Magus while she stays in the common room. She is eager to get moving and see Lord Kyle.
"We have completed out preparations and have done some research. We are now ready to go after the Whitefist Orcs as we had previously discussed. What information do you have about their whereabouts, numbers, etc."
