Kebron brings his hands together in one loud clap. “Good, lets be off to oir new establishment.” He then almost runs out the door towards the prosperity.
"If our business here is concluded..."Flux gives the tiefling a questioning look. "And if there are no other objections..." He glances next to Phrael before looking back on Renaer again. "I cannot see why not. While there are some other duties I wish to attend to, they can wait a few more hours. Will you be guiding us to the manor itself, Volo?"

Sure I'll gladly take you there and tell you everything I know about the place and its sorroundings - Says Volo excited at the fact that deed was succesfully transferred without him paying anything else.
Very well, if my services are no longer required please leave then - Says the magistrate without taking his eyes from a long and old parchement, if you don't leave immediately he'll say "go away" and look over the parchment until he is sure no one is bothering him.
Chapter two: Trollskull Alley
After leaving Castle Ward the vehicle travels to Trollskull alley, after a couple of blocks stops in front of a ruined manor,Volo gets down and pay the driver who'll be leaving as soon as everyone gets down the car.
The manor is actually sorrounded by different buildings and people walks on the street as they would on any other section of the city, carrying bags, holding their children by the hand or just minding their own business. Some would not keep their eyes of off you.
Flux keeps an eye out during the trip for any blacksmithing shops. He was otherwise content to let the scenery pass by without a care in the world. Now and again, he turns to look over the others and gauge their excitement; especially Pharel's. The elf had been reticent before, and Flux knew it to be important to elevate that for the good of all with the help of others.
"Indeed it does. One that would've been all the more fortunate had we managed to keep that Troll's skull from a day ago. But alas."In Seeing the confused look on Rin's face, Flux says, "A story for once we are more settled in." Flux sucks in a deep breathe, then exhales a cool, visibly mist that quickly fades from view. "O' Lord of us guardian's of light. May you radiance bless these old senses with the clarity to uproot the unbound."Flux says, casting with a sweeping hand gesture Detect Evil and Good.

Arriving in trollskull and their new manor, Phrael jumped from the wagon and approached the place. "Ain't much to look at... but I think with a bit of elbow grease and a couple rounds of ale... Kebron still wouldn't sleep with it.
Kebron stares enamored with what he sees this place could be. "Ya don'na know whatcha talking about Phrael. This place is gorgeous in its potential. Diamond in the rough. Just gotta pretty her up"
Flux just chuckles at his companions antics as he leads the way inside. If there are two or more entrances, he chooses the lower for the purpose of giving the manor a proper once over from bottom to top. "Lets just hope this spirit said to haunt this place is of a mind to cooperative with us."

The main door was missing the top hinge which made it hard to open and the condition of the lower one created a loud noise as you opened it, you feared for a bit that the door would fall from its place so you quickly closed it again. The tavern’s taproom is filled with broken furniture, tarnished silverware, casks of wine that have turned to vinegar, and worthless detritus. The tavern’s other rooms are all empty, except for cobwebs, dust, and harmless rats.
As Flux stepped a foot on the taproom, he felt a something behind the bar, and it was no fiend or demon, neither a celestial or elemental creature... it had to be an undead thougt Flux.
((I already shared this handout before, but I'll just share it again so you don't have to go back and look for it:
Kebron spreads his arms out like hes trying to hug the room. "Beautiful! Do ya see it now boys? Patrons at every table. And over there we can have a wee stage where bards can sing the glories of our adventures....except the one with that damned cat. Barmaids bustling about serving drinks and food, oh gods the food the smell of tasty morsels coming from that kitchen making everyone mouths water with anticipation of their dinner. That corner over there can be out personal table where we survey our tavern kingdom, surrounded by the spoils of deeds hanging on the wall for all to see. Kebron starts heading towards the stairs. "I need to see the upstairs, see if we can make this place a Inn, or, or ,or....oooo even better a proper base for us where we can sleep, train, and you magical types can study."
Rin walks about the room, looking for anything interesting that might lying on the floor, running his fingers across the dusty tabletops, and, lastly, taking a whiff from a few wine casks. "Ech, we'll not be winning over any customers with this stuff."
He then listens to Kebron's vision for the place and tries to imagine himself in the role of a barkeep or innkeeper."Up the stairs we go, Kebron of Trollskull Manor!" Rin calls out as he follows the dwarf toward the stairwell.
Phrael enters with the others, coughs slightly through Kebrons speech, then pulls out a bag that he rifles through slightly. "I want what Kebrons been drinking. Speaking of, there any unopened casks about?
"Mostly likely in the back, my friend."Flux responded absently as he stared with narrowed eyes over at the bar into empty space. Most of everything else fell on deaf ears. Only as Kebron and Phrael made to leave did he visibly stir from his daze. "Keep your wits about while you explore. There may be more than one lost spirit here."He steps up and leans against the bar, and stares unerringly in the direction he sensed the ghost with dimly glowing eyes.
"I am Flux, Cleric of Helm of the Vigilant Eye. Me and my fellows have come into ownership of this manor. While this may not sit well with you, we are not here to kick you out... 'less you force our hands. Rather, we would have your aid and ongoing service in fixing and.. managing the place, as it were. And in exchange, aid you eventually finding peace for what I guess has long since been denied you."

Carnan looks around. As a dwarf he loves the cave like ambiance. "I could get used to a place like this." He notices the strange, haunted behavior of the surroundings and his eyes go wide. "Well boys, we may not be alone in here. Any ideas of how to make friends with this place?" He listens as Flux and his eyes go even wider! Druids like making friends with nature not undead. This could get interesting.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Guys before you get too excited about this place understand that it has been abandoned for a long time, pretty much everything needs repair and it'll be a good idea to check with the local guilds and learn about their fares- Says Volo before everyone clears the taproom.
Seconds after Flux's words a plate is about to drop from the shelf but it settles in an unnatural manner as if someone would've stoped it with its hand, the presence slowly disappears as it exits the range of the spell.
Everything else in the manor is ruined or almost usless, after checking the rooms and the cellar you noticed a few wine bottles scattered, only 9 were still good and sealed.
In the map showing the whole neighborhood you'll notice the following:
T1 Trollskull manor T2 a small wooden sign above the shop's main door is bare except for a large bent nail sticking out of it. T3. Steam and Steel - During daylight hours, smoke and steam billow from the many windows around this indoor forge where metal weapons, armor, and tools are made. T4. Corellon’s Crown - A three-story house with a greenhouse on the third floor. Its translucent glass walls allow anyone on the street to see the rainbow of flowers blossoming within. T5. Tiger’s Eye - An unremarkable building which only distinguishing mark is an orange-and-black sign featuring a cat’s eyes. T6. Book Wyrm’s Treasure - The front of this bookstore is adorned with a charming sign of a gold dragon curled around a treasure hoard of books and scrolls. T7. Sewer Access - At the east end of Trollskull Alley is a removable metal grate that covers an opening. Below the grate, a ladder descends 20 feet into the Waterdeep sewer system.
Kebron stops his ascent of the stairs and leans his head back towards Volo. "I'm guessin you have a in with the local guilds, or can at least introduce us?"

T1 - Trollskull Manor
"Trollskull," muses Rin. "That has a nice ring to it, doesn't it, lads?"

Rin quickly shifts from wondering about Flux's reference to a troll to chuckling about Phrael's jab at Kebron.
