I actually prefer handling the "down time" here. Game strategy is fine, too. Actually, reading game play and stuff inspires me and keeps me enthused during the period between actual games.Yes, this is the perfect time and place to do this sort of thing. The actual time frame doesn't matter to me. I usually decide how much time passes between adventures based on down-time needs discussed on the board.  Yes, you may have standard starting cash. The rest of the group will have to determine your last question, though. Since the villain is a wizard, and has his own spellbook (which you can find if you want it), I will also say you can get the materials needed for a quarter of their usual cost as he has much of it one hand already. There is a Wand of False Life with 6 charges and a Wand of Ghoul Touch with 20 remaining charges. She says she will take it if you are sure you don't want it.  You are welcome to the time needed to do all this, though. This action discloses the hiding place of his spellbook, personal journal, and personal library.  His spellbook and journal are written in a cypher. The other books belonging to his library include the following titles (along with average value to a book collector):"Whispers on Zaman's Hill" by Boynton (55 gp average value)"Down a Black Hole" by Enver Kayalidere (62 gp)"The Reanimated" by Niyazi of Pakyürek (98 gp)"The Eaters" by Mukhali Checheg of Süke-Bator (13 gp)"Facturing Raffish Necromantic Wands" by Khudu Daldurkhan (80 gp)"Nonary Rules of Noctambulation" by Niyazi of Pakyürek (98 gp)"The Proselyte Necromancer and Neonatal Sacrifice" by Enver Kayalidere and Niyazi of Pakyürek (100 gp)"The Necromancy of A Lich" by Niyazi of Pakyürek (812 gp)"Alchemy and Necromancy: A Relationship" by Vedis III (788 gp)"Unspoken Secrets of the Cult of Ragnfast" by Ugot (510 gp)An hour's worth of study with this small library will confer a +10 bonus on a check relating to Knowledge (Undead) or Knowledge (Necromancy), or a +5 bonus on a check relating to Spellcraft or any other skill involving necromancy. Each check requires an hour studying and cross-referencing the various works.The spellbook, as mentioned earlier, is written in cypher. It is pentagon-shaped, with a cloth-board cover (the cloth is actually a burial shroud). The hinges and clasps are made of brass. The pages are vellum. Should you spend more than ten minutes looking through it, you have to make a Will save (DC 15) in order to resist treating the spellbook as though it were a living thing (it likes to be spoken to, sung to sleep as one puts it away when finished with it, caressed and held, etc). You find it lying on a silk pillow, tucked under a blanket.The journal also has a cloth-board cover (again, actually cloth from a shroud) with brass trappings and vellum pages, but it is rectangular.</blockquote>
