I'll allow another couple of days of real time for people to catch up, and then update the ALCHEMIST scene.

Sorry, caught in the maelstrom of the first week of classes--catching up now.

I have advanced the scenes.


Anyone wishing to backfill conversation or add actions with an edit may do so.
Let me know if you need help.

Otherwise, let me know:

Is your PC accepting Thom's (RocEter's PC) invitation to dinner at his house?

Alternate plans for the evening?


Note that Benn's family--and Dorgio's, if they are going with Charlotte-- leave TOMORROW MORNING by boat.

Not tonight.

If the party as a whole is accepting the invitation, you guys may feel free to fast forward to your arrival at Thom's house in the city, that same evening.

If your party is are splitting up and people are doing other stuff, just let me know, so no one is confused about whom is where and when.

If anyone asks Hornsby before the servant laves the area (he's picking up some extra vials and boxes for samples, and will distribute these to party members as per his master's orders), he will explain that Thom's invitation includes the whole party.

Hornsby knows the way, if not Dorgio does!

It seems that almost the whole group has weighed in, and wants to proceed with a new scene.

Accordingly, I've updated the scene. It's now about sundown, and anyone attending dinner may have arrived at Thom's manse.

It's probably a bigger place than one might expect a common master-printer to own-- even with cheaper prices of houses in a city that contains so many old tumbledown mansions and deserted homes.
Still, it's not grandiose, at least on the outside.

Further description may come from the player.

Watch for that.

Where did my post of arriving to the Mansion go?! :(

The synopsis is: Raen is well dressed, impressed with the place and brought a box of sweets that he knows will be under-priced but hopes to be still appreciated.
