Scotley's Carrion Crown IC Part 1 The Haunting of Harrowstone

Na Bith Mo Riocht Tá!
Vadim rises much refreshed, and breaks his fast with Falco. Apetite assuaged for now, he goes to find out what Kendra has uncovered for the group about the stash. His brow furrows at the unknown vials, but when she brings out the planchette he smiles excitedly. "Ah! I don't know why I didn't recognize this before. The Varisians use such a device for simple fortune telling . . . one simply rests the fingers lightly on the planchette and concentrates upon it. The magic within summons any spirits that may be hovering about, and these spirits will then guide the planchette over the letters upon the board to spell out the simple answers to questions. Answers are usually one word, and sometimes even more limited to "yes" or "no." It's not a very reliable device, of course . . . the spirits are often jealous of our life and spiteful because of it, and so are likely to give any answer. Also, sometimes they just don't know the answer . . . but they'll not hesitate to make something up if that's the case."

Brendan will greet everyone quietly" Yes was a restful right and should not be to long thanks to all the assistance, but still nasty stuff and interesting as to why they are in a crypt." Helping himself to coffee Brendan will eat a light breakfeast and listen while the others discuss the treasure then add "Giving the items we found it would stand to reason that were facing mid level undead that require either magic or silver to hit. It mite stand us well to find a silver weapon that we are each familar with just in case.

"Me like idea of having silver halberd! Mmmm, maybe easier to find silver shortsword, though?"

Dannis shrugs. "Vermin such as that are common to many old lichyards and crypts. The places supply them with plenty of food."

'Undead are not really my strength, if it comes to it i am a decent shot with a crossbow which suites me as i prefer to deal with foes from afar. I imagine i can find a few more silver bolts here in the city, be cheaper than a halberd for sure"

Kendra joins your conversation, "This land has a long history of troubles with the undead, lycanthorpes and other things that go bump in the night. For that reason silver and cold iron weapons are more common here than in other lands. Even is little villages such as this. Though it might well cause talk if you go looking to buy such things. It is also not uncommon for people to offer up 'magic' weapons, but few have the skills to know a holy sword of dragon slaying from a pitchfork of stable mucking. Buyer beware." It heartens you to see her make a jest and smile.

OOC: We seem to have reached a bit of speed bump here. Not trying to railroad you, but I believe the obvious paths open to you now include:
1) Researching here at Professor Lorrimor's house to try and discover more about the myterious items you found or the history of Harrowstone.
2) Going out to shop for silver weapons and explore the village.
3) Trying to do some research around town about Harrowstone and the people held there.
4) Going to Harrowstone itself.
