*Raven turns to her left and walks down the road, searching for the nearest bread and cheese shop, stopping and turning around and waving to Arthur*
"I will see you soon, Sir Arthur and (Miss?) Cloud, as I need to stock up on rations. Care to join me or shall we split ways for now?"

Just a reminder about Lifestyle Expenses:
"Lifestyle expenses provide you with a simple way to account for the cost of living in a fantasy world. They cover your accommodations, food and drink, and all your other necessities. Furthermore, expenses cover the cost of maintaining your equipment so you can be ready when adventure next calls."
Now you don't have accomodations costs like rent or anything. The Manor currently covers all costs up to Poor. Anything higher than that isn't covering more rent, but it's covering things like the occasional laundry service happening or just better bed linens. Or you happen to occasionally tip the house staff and they make your bed for you. Stuff like that.
Food and drinks costs covered by the Manor's Poor level means you're not going to starve, but it isn't all that great. Your lifestyle expenses covers an increase in the quality of food you eat daily. Unless you have a particular meal, dinner plans, or feeding others then your Lifestyle Expenses covers your daily meals.
Paying above the level of Poor means your equipment is taken care of better. Your clothes are cleaner and in better repair, maybe your shoes have a shine on them, etc.
Roughly every tenday you can reevaluate your charater's needs and adjust your Lifestyle Expenses as you see fit.
Just to be clear, this isn't adding or requiring you to do or spend anything more than you are doing. It's just a reminder of how the Lifestyle Expenses works and what's covered. It's a tool in 5e that simplifies some of the daily needs, unless role-play needs more details.
Thought of something : once Arthur makes it to the manor he meets & greets anyone who Is there then after he gets out of his armour and takes a bath ( wrestling is sweaty ) he is gonna check out the library in the manor since he hasn't been there yet
Two large stained-glass windows shine light into the numerous shelves in the library. Closer inspection shows that some books were here recently, but are no more. Desks line the south side of this room, pushed together into a makeshift bed it seems, and old quills and shreds of parchment are scattered around the room.
Strange , no books and a makeshift bed.....( Arthur ponders this aloud to himself ) , then heads back downstairs to enjoy a ale or two before calling it a night
(OOC: So if I pay 1GP a day per my Modest background, that includes restocking on food automatically?)
Yes, it covers your regular daily meals, equipment maintenance, and lodging expenses. Unless you're looking for something special outside of the regular, that costs money.
Arthur wakes up at 5:00. Gets some clothes on , says his prayers , goes down stairs , eats some porridge, drinks a glass of water , then until 9:00 he is arranging fruits & candies for trolltide . At 9:00 Arthur will set out to talk the publisher about the black viper , to get info for Savra . Then after that he will get Raven in contact with Savra
Trolltide (Kythorn 1st):Civic. Begun as a feasting day to celebrate the ending of the decade-long Second Trollwar, Trolltide is now a lesser holiday to the city at the start of Kythorn. Where once everyone was relieved of responsibilities beyond celebrating the freedom and survival of the city, now this holiday is almost exclusively for children. In recognition of how close the enemy came to the city, children now run through the streets in packs from highsun till dusk, pounding on the doors of shops and homes, growling and snarling like trolls; the occupants are expected to give the children candies, fruits, or other small items "to keep the trolls away from my door," and those who do not are generally subject to pranks upon sundown.
This post has potentially manipulated dice roll results.
Arriving at the Wazoo offices in the early afternoon, upon completion of your different downtimes, you are treated much better by the doorkeeper this time. You are escorted past several desks with a mess of papers all around them. You are taken to the only office located on this floor. The unamed office lady knocks on the door and shouts out "Mr Rudderbust, some people here to see you" "come in, please"
Inside an equally messy office, you see a busy looking man. He looks you all over and says "Gaxly Rudderbust, editor and publisher of the Waterdeep Wazoo. What can I do for you fine people today?"
*After the door closes & he & I are alone * Mr. Rudderbust , allow me to introduce myself. I am Lord Arthur Darkeyes the 3rd . I am here to gather information on The Black Viper if you would be willing to part with any information. As far as I can recollect she was rumored to be dead , might be a noble , and is robbing from nobility, that is all I know & I'm hoping you might be able to provide me with more information than that .

Ooc - I found out that when I tilt my phone to the side it goes from the mobile page to the full page, giving me access to the dice roller and other tools.

Walking into the library you see:

Last call before finishing up the game day?
You already have Herald's timeline for the day.
