After a few quiet moments, as everyone thinks on what the Harrowing is trying to tell them, Kendra returns. "Here is the..." she starts to say and then sniffs the air. "Is that smoke? Did something catch fire?" she asks sitting the long thin chest she is carrying down on the table next to the Harrow cards.
The group can smell smoke faintly still in the air.

Valaran leans back against the wall, careful to take things in stride and not get so worked up this time, "Hmph. Never a dull day when it involves the professor. Very well, I truly do not understand what Lorrimor has set in motion or is sending us towards; but it has the stench of evil about it, which is cause enough for me. Please just someone explain it to me along the way to wherever we end up going."

"Just a little fire, that's all it was. But I agree with Triessa. The screaming was a little much. Hints of innocents getting killed. Can't have that, can we?"
Bella hears the words of Valaran with a smile. "Sure, we'll keep you informed along the way."
Turning her attention back to the chest, she adds, "Now let's see just what all this trouble is about..."

Piedra does not fully understand the reading. To him fortune telling is just for entertainment and not real. But this. It seems serious. Concluding that he can't simply discard the reading as fakery, he decides to take it seriously. "Assuming that this reading outlines our future and I don't doubt it does, then it appears that we are in for an interesting time." he says in a voice tinged with anticipation and excitement.
When Kendra returns with the books, he leaves it to the others to examine them, although he stands on a chair and looks over there shoulders.

Elthos knows it is his turn. He kneels down to the chest, and with the key, unlocks. With a steady hand, and hoping the professor didn't trap his own chest, he opens the lid.

The iron bound oak chest opens to reveal a set of five books. Four of the books look old and worn while the fifth book which is atop the others looks to have been recently rebound and covered.
The new looking books leather cover has the words "Read this first" ominously scratched into it. As the party takes out and examines the five books Kendra speaks up.
"I have been thinking," she says more confidently than she has been since you met her. "You all may stay here free of charge for the next month. I know it probably wasn't in your plans to stay in Ravengro for so long and I wish to make your stay as easy as possible. I would welcome your help in whatever I do decide to do but honestly right now I not sure."
The worry comes back to here face and she hastily adds, "If you give me this week I will have a decision. Is that alright?"

"Thank you Lady Kendra, that is very kind of you. Know that we shall be at your service whatever you decide."
Valanar picks up the top book with the words scrawled on the cover. He runs his fingers over it and is lost deeply in thought for a moment on how to broach the subject with the late professor's daughter, who appears somewhat shaken still.
"Now I am not sure how much you knew of your father's research and if you are interested in what these books contain. I think we shall be reading through them and trying to figure out what your father thought so important as to include all of us. I am sure this is all very sudden for you; would you like us to peruse them in private or in your presence?"
