[OODM: from sensitive feat, no sanity loss(barely)].............................................Jens doesn't have any clue what Renards deal is. [OODM: failed check, I'm handling this separate from the opposed bluff check that he successfully made] ............................................."Ah, that will be become more clear once you look at the diary and our notes, yes?  Pickman disappeared without a trace, and we believe it had to do with a well in the cellar of that house, which apparently was connected to an underground network of tunnels, yes?  So we don't think there is a current owner of the book; the police never found Pickman or any of the possessions he had on him, yes, and they didn't know he lived at that house.  We believe the book must be down in those tunnels, but getting there might be a problem, yes, if the current property owner doesn't like the idea of you rummaging through his cellar, yes?
