April 6th, 10 a.m
University of Martira Bay
Impressed by the foresight of the Weathermay fellow, William listens as the receptionist tells him of the message she received. It had to be George who came here in person. That of which he had no doubt. He would be one of the few in the core lands that would know of his real last name. As a matter of fact he could not rightly recall whether George knew of his pseudonym.
He smiles politely at the receptionist, feeling a bit embarrassed at the conclusion made about his finances from the message left for her. He was under the impression that he was doing quite well. The university must be very prestigious indeed.
Once she finishes, he replies politely and accepts the address. Befor leaving he turns to the receptionist.
"One question ma'am. You mentioned in the note that the expenses for the cost of a home where covered along with the tuition. Would I be correct to assume that the home exists on or near the University?"

Van looks at her surprised and says:
"You really want to reveal that? I thought that was a secret."
He follows with his eyes the extraordinary climbing ability of the woman and sighs.
"At least I have my spells to do that..."Says to himself.
Then turning to Lucius he adds:
"Shall we?"

"Yes, Van, let's go".
Lucius was still rather dizzy from the night. He had been up until late reading, and had barely slept. It had been almost a miracle that he had been ready on time, but the cold air of the early dawn did at least something to wake him.
He barely nodded at Delsenora, still too sleepy to really find anything strange in her appearance. But as she mentioned the monster-hunter doctor, that put his brain into motion. "Van Richten?" he said as a reflex. He touched the scrolls he took with him. "How appropriate..."
Then turning to Van, he prepared to go in...

The woman looks up at William as he asks his question. "The home is not far from here, actually Mr Conte." Grabbing a piece of parchment she jots down something nad hands it to William. "That is the address. Good luck" she says with a smile before returning to what she was doing before William arrived.
De Casteeles residence
Even as Delsenora has now returned atop the roof, Van reaches to knock on the door. Before his hand even touches the wood of the oak door, it opens slowly to reveal a middle aged man dressed in a butler's attire. It's quite obvious he is in fact a valet to Balfour.
He eyes Van and Lucius with a pratciced eye and looks outside sticking his head out looking both left and write. "Ah Master Van and Lucius it is? I could have sworn I heard a woman with you. Perhaps I was mistaken. He looks around once more before beckoning for the pair to enter. Closing the door behind him, he leads the two through an enrance to a long hallway. He stops at a door and knocks before clearing his throat "Master Balfour, the two young men are here, sire."
"Send then in, Leopold, thank you. And bring refreshments for the four of us please. Thank you."
Leopold leaves the door open to beckon Van and Lucius to enter while he moves away down the hallway. Van and Lucius enter the room to reveal a rather large den. Inside there are quite a few armchairs and a fireplace which is working at the moment, filling the room with a welcome heat.
Seated across from each other are Balfour and another man unknown to Van or Lucius. Balfour stands as does the man. "Ah, welcome, welcome. Thank you for coming this morning and being punctual. I expect it. Young Master Van, I am sorry for the inconvenience this morning but I wanted to make sure you were on time is all.
Now where are my manners! This is a dear friend of mine, Helmut Jurgens. He is a scholar as I am and has been looking forward to meeting you and your friends ever since I've been mentioning you to him constantly. Come in and have a seat! Please.
Helmut , this is Van and Lucius, two of the party I have been telling you about. Now Master Lucius you look like you've just learned something really close to your heart, young man. Might I inquire if the news is good? It would appear to be so."
Helmut waits for Lucius and Van to sit before sitting at the same time as Balfour does.

Helmut waits for Lucius and Van to sit before sitting at the same time as Balfour does.
Lucius nods to the new acquaitance and extends his hand in a greeting. Then, as Balfour addresses him, he simply says
"I'd prefer that Van spoke first of his affairs, as he really was the one with the scheduled meeting. I can speak later of myself, if you will."
He looks at Van and then adds
"Or perhaps both things are entangled and I'll explain as we go along."

Van isn't surprised to meet another one at Balfour's house, he always admired scholars for their knowledges. So he smiles and says:
"Good morning. I'm sorry if I was a bit harsh with Lupzig but really I didn't intend to be late on our meeting."
Then turning to Helmut he aadds:
"Glad to meet you Mr Helmut. I'm sure your knowledges will be precious and might help me as well."
Then he gets a seat by the fireplace, but almost immediately stands up and says:
"Mr Balfour, a new member of our group would like to meet you. She is a young woman and she said that you will be interested in her. She waits outside because she told me only a few minutes ago that she wanted to join us and I couldn't inform you in time. Can I tell her to come in?"

William takes the note and turns to leave the admissions office. He can't help but find it a bit strange that the courses in question would be held off campus, of course given the caliber of person who would be interested in such classes it does make sense.
After looking at the note, he makes his way to the previously given address where the classes would be held. He had never had formal schooling before and knew not at all what to expect. He imagined that it would differ quite immensely to the limited tutelage he received from Captain Barnes.
Making his way through the campus grounds, he was in a way quite relieved that he would not be receiving his schooling on the grounds themselves considering he looked older than most of the students and a few of the professors.

Lucius sat, following Van's example, and then added to Balfour.
"We know it is quite unexpected, but she said you might be interested in her, for some reason. She asked, speciffically, to tell you she's known around the city... in some circles, as the shadow".

De Casteeles residence.
Both Balfour and Helmut look at each other with a surprised expression. "You said, The Shadow? Very intriguing. I shall let her in myself. Get acquainted with Helmut. I shall return shortly with this young woman."
Rising, he exits the room even as Leopold enters with refreshments for everyone. He sets them on the coffee table and exits.
The old man opens the door and quickly looking around sees her sitting on the top of his roof, cloak pullled over to hide her face! "Young lady, I am Balfour de Casteeles and you I presume are the one that person Lucius mentioned to me?"
"Yes, that's me, sir. I figured you might want to meet me in person as I do know you and some of your friends are quite interested in me. Well are you going to invite me in?" And she climbs down rather deftly, no effort apparent.
"Why yes, please do come in. You seem to be well informed, my dear. You seem to have a good source of information which is quite admirable I must say. Now, do come in. Let me get a good look at you under that cloak." He leads Delsenora in and closes the door behind him.
She flips down her hood, grinning her characteristic grin at Balfour. "I say! I have already met one of your ilk, and you my dear are the second. That is too much of a coincidence. You even look like Jacob."
"He is my father, after all." As they speak they arrive at the den and find the three others sampling the refreshments and having small talk. Delsenora, spying the food merely says "All right! Food!," and walks over to the coffee table and loads a plate and begins stuffing her face.
"My god, she sure has an appetite, Van and Lucius. So let us get down to business, shall we. How might I help you both this morning?"
"Miss I am Helmut Jurgens, an acquaintance of Balfour's. It is a pleasure to finally meet you. I must say I was expecting something a little different than you, to be honest. So, how long have you been in Martira Bay?"

House near the University
William walks up to a modest house and knocks on the door. It only takes a moment before the door opens to reveal Gennifer, George's niece. "Ah hello William! Come in. I'm glad you made it. The house isn't much but we use it as a base when we are here in the city. It isn't far from our bookstore either elsewhere."
CLosing the door behind her she leads William through another door to small hallway. It ends at stairs or a door. "Upstairs are the rooms. We can look at them later." Opening the door they enter a library. Papers are strewed everywhere on a table. On another table are books, some open, some closed. All aorund are bookcases filled with books upon books upon books.
"Yeah, we got most of these books from a dear friend who's gone missing. So, have a seat. I am sure you have questions and though I may be young, I can answer them for you. Uncle will be here later in the week to speak with you. I heard you received a really nice gift from that old coot Balfour."

Following Gennifer into the library, he can barely contain his excitement. It looked as if he would be receiving his education from affiliates of Weathermay, and not to mention the renowned hunter would be arriving later that week!
"Aye, miss. I received a gift from Balfour. A fine pistol which is actually being examined by one of my colleagues. A Van Thunderstorm, actually. He is quite a fine master of the arts and insisted he study it when he saw me with it."
William meanders about, looking from here to there at all the notes strewn about. He couldn't wait to get started. He was closer to his calling than ever.
"Miss, You are correct that I do have questions. The first being to whom would serve as my instructor?"

Does Cornelius look elsewhere?
Cornelius departs the library and enters the street. He stands awhile in thought, then resolutely heads in the direction of Jacob's residence[ which is not far from the University and Library, he thinks].
Hmmm...nothing more here. Well, this artifact is sconnected with the 'Morning Lord', so perhaps I ought to try to find more of these Sun-Worhsippers- the dark elves may not be the only ones in town.

Lucius makes himself comfortable and is just a bit amused at Delsenora's relaxation. He imagined how his parents would be vexed by such behaviour, but he didn't see Balfour or Helmut complaining anyway.
He waited for Van present his case to Balfour, but the mage seemed to be so distracted by other things that he began talking to Balfour without noticing that Van hadn't started yet.
"You seem to know much about us, Mr Balfour, and I guess you must have been the mysterious benefactor that on occasion has supported us. Well... I've had a few severe wake-up calls on these last months, and I've felt rather unprepared for what is to come."
"We have another mission to accomplish, and I suspect you too might want something from us. But we met some people on the road that really made me feel like I really know next to nothing of what I should to defend against the dangers of this land. I've lost my innocence in this long journey, in more than just one way, and I would't like to depart again feeling that much... naked, intellectually speaking."
He paused again
"I've heard of Rudolph Van Richten many years ago. In Dementlieu, the library of the Société du Legerdemain is rumoured to host his books in secret aisles for the very senior members... which I'm far from being. But I reckon now that I really should study more of his knowledge. I know you're a wizard, primarily, but what is a wizard if not a well of occult secrets? Thus, I'm simply asking this: where can I go to gather this knowledge? Where can I learn to be better defended from the night?"
He stopped giving Van and the two old men space for a reaction. He had stopped, but Van noticed clearly he had not said all. Having been together for so long, he noticed that his friend was hiding something else inside.

"Ah yes, the Societé. Well they do hold Van Richten's basic works, yes. But the good Doctor's real work is held by the young Weathermay twins in a secret location, only known to a select few, Lucius. Their uncle George has never given up on the old man who is presumed deceased for nearly twenty years or more now. He has not only battled and gathered information on beasts of all kinds, but is rumored to have found the good doctor very recently.
Yes, I do know much about you. I make it my business to know what happens in my city and farther, if it concerns magical items which you were involved with and I can see you wear one, Master Lucius.
I am sorry to see you've been infected, to be honest. And yes I have been a benefactor to you and your friends.
Now to know more of what types of dangers you might face, I suggest you get in touch with your friend William. He has taken it upon himself to
begin studying courses at the University in just such subjects as you
mention to me. I will give you the address of the house he will be spending these next few weeks at until your next mission commences.
I am quite curious about your friend, Jacob's daughter. She seems quite the character if you ask me. How does she eat so much and stay thin like
that? And she may look like nothing much to you, but over the last few years she has made quite the reputation for herself here. Many poor folk here have gotten by because of her. And the locations she pilfers from are perfect, in teh sense that she must have done her homework, to be
honest. Her victims can readily afford the losses and hence the militia are nor involved. I have heard of these thefts from many nobles here in the city. It is mentioned more as an event than a bother by the victims.
Well, Master Van and Lucius, I am glad you have come. This old man always enjoys good company."

"Well, William I guess your question requires an answer. I have no knowledge of your knowledges. I think you are a sailor first and foremost
but being a sailor has its advantages as you hear this or that rumor or actual fact in several ports. In fact byhearing the same rumor in more than one port is an advantage many of us don't have in our research or

Nodding in agreement to Gennifer's comment, William replies, "Aye, sailors always have a tale to tell or two."
Gennifer goes on to mention the instructor coming from Barovia. Strange how certain places or persons tend to fall into place in spades. For instance this was the second time in as many days as that cursed country was brought up in conversation. The previous was with entirely different company too. Certain places had a presupposed importance attributed to them such as Port a Lucine, Dementlieu for it's progressiveness or Falkovnia where war was always brewing but Barovia? Such a twisted backwater of a land where nothing of importance resided. Yet it kept oozing into conversation.
"I have no doubt of the instructors qualification either, Miss." William replied.
