Lussa nods, "Let's go!"

Chewing on his rat, Meep looks at the note Twitch gave him. "Interesting. Is it 'something big' just because we're small? I wonder. How did you get this?" 

(Assuming Twitch tells him about the flying snake)

"...a flying snake? Isn't that the symbol that was on that warehouse door? Do you think they want us to join or do you think they know it was us that raided their hideout?" Meep sets the back half of his rat down, and thinks deeply. "I don't know about that, I want to talk to Delmalis about it, see what he thinks."

Meep you are there when Demalis returns and we'll say you both exchange information about the flying snake and drow encounter. 

To reaffirm everyone's position, Demalis, Meep and Twitch are at the manor. Sybil returns to the manor after meeting Mirt. Lussa and Alberich are away on a mission for Force Grey. 

with the three at the manor, Sybil will talk to Demalis, Meep and Twitch, individually or call them together, "Got any skills that would be useful in locating a horse in the city?"

Demalis, Meep, and Twitch give me Intelligence checks. 

OOC: If all four of you go on this mission, let me know and I'll start a Private Message Thread for the mission. I just finished one with Alberich and Lussa. 

Delmalis is happy to help with either set of missions.

Investigation: 14 (If needed)

 Twitch shrugged and ate the second half of Meeps rat without thinking.

Chewing noisily, Twitch nodded at the suggestion to talk to Delmalis.

 " Horse? Why you want horse?"

 Intelligence: 5

OOC: I just created a Private Message thread for the Harper Mission. 

Meep's Intelligence: 15

He'll gladly go looking for a horse, he's got to stretch his legs.

Lussa will stay with Alberich until they get back to the Manor, but she asks, "can we stop off at the market and pick up some food?  Lim makes a great cup of coffee in the morning, maybe we can see how he does with some light cooking too?"

She would like to get some fresh meat, preserved meat, a variety of fresh and root vegetables, flour, salt and common spices.  How much would it cost per day of supplies for the household?

At 1 gp per day, she would like to get a 10-day worth of supplies.  And pay for a second 10-day with the merchant to be delivered or picked up as needed.

Depends on the lifestyle you're leading. Since you six are at the manor, you could count it similar to living in a tavern, which is 2 silver pieces, and multiply that by 6 would be 12 silver pieces but if you're getting supplies in bulk, it could be 10 silver pieces or 1 gold piece a day. 

Let's go with 1 gold piece a day for supplies, food, coffee, and other stuff for everyone. 

Leaving the Blackstaff Tower, Alberich offers for Lussa to go on ahead to the manor, but they decide to stick together. To her question, he answers: "Yes, I'm sure the others would appreciate the chance to eat in too. But speaking of food, wouldn't you say it's about time we had lunch? We had quite the busy morning and I for one am famished." 

After getting something to fill at least his stomach (? ?p), Alberich goes out in search of a library, or perhaps a temple of a deity of knowledge. He is in search for books to learn Deep Speech, and lets say Infernal, from. 

After he's done everything he can to procure the books, he starts going through stores in search for cosmetics, dye, clothes, and accessories (Disguise kit, 25 gp), and ink, parchment, paper, quills, wax, gold and silver leaf, and some small tools good for sculpting melted wax (Forgery Kit, 15 gp). He makes sure to lead Lussa to the nearest market he knows of like she wanted. And on their way back to the manor, he remembers someone mentioning a nearby store selling wooden weapons, The Bent Nail, from where he buys a Heavy Crossbow and two sets of 20 Cased Crossbow Bolts (50 gp + 2 gp + 2 gp).

(For the books, I found this possibility in Forgotten Realms Wiki: Font of Knowledge, aka. the Great Library. A temple of Oghma in Castle Ward. Provides wisdom and understanding to all the citizens of Waterdeep.)

That works, you can head to the Font of Knowledge. You might even see the others are they're on their way to the Castle Ward for the Harper mission. 

They all seem to have things to do, so he'll just nod to them if their eyes meet.

Do I need to do anything to try and procure the books?

We'll just say you obtain a card from the temple that lets you check out books for three weeks at a time. The librarian insists you return them in three weeks, or renew them if you need more time, or they'll fine you and find you. 

While at the market, Lussa would like to pick up 3-5 pieces of slate (about 1' square, like that used for roofing) and some chalk, also.  Once the bar is cleaned, Lim will need another medium for communication.

OOC: For the slate Lussa, we'll just factor that into the 1,200 gold for tavern renovation. 

Once everyone is back from their missions, we'll start the next day. Everyone but Lussa, post what you plan on doing.

Lussa as you're gathering supplies, a white cat approaches you and smiles before saying in a melodious voice "Interested in joining the Emerald Enclave? Come meet us at Phaulkonmere in the Southern Ward.”

Lussa stops, "huh?  Well, how did this simple girl get so popular?"  Glancing around her for threats before bending down and extending a hand out to the cat,

Perception check:  17 (disadvantage due to sunlight)

"And what is your name?  I haven't heard much about this Emerald Enclave, but what I have sounds intriguing."

(Would Delmalis know where to go to meet with Brigan d'Arthe?)
