A fine table is set in the main house. It is long table with seats for a dozen covered with a linen tablecloth and set with china and silver. Tea, juice and water are available in kettles and pitchers on the table along with small loaves of bread, butter and jam. A side board is set with platters of fried eggs, bacon, sausages, porridge and a quarter wheel of hard yellow cheese. The other lodgers, four gentlemen who appear to be in sales for a fairly large trading company are aligned on one side of the table while a lady of advanced years sits at the head of the table. Her gray hair is carefully styled and she wears a pale blue silk dress decorated with patterns of seed pearls. She listens to a rambling story by one of the salesmen as you enter. She bids you welcome with a gesture, but does not interrupt the storyteller. The food proves tasty and plentiful.
OOC: On the curse: You have a collection of potions and scrolls that mitigate the nightmares, smells and other lesser effects of the curse. Your supply should be good enough for several more days. The finest healers priests the Captain and Marienna could find were unable to do more than that. It is possible someone else could do more, but sure way is of course to destroy the Lich.
