Downtime in the Village
During the week, Ulf secretly approaches the Bogdani woodsmen of the lodge, seeking if they know of a being who could be his magical mentor. He's not much interested in studying under Halfdan, as Mayfly and Gerung do, and wonder if they, perhaps, know of someone, or something, connected to the Old Gods of the Fog-Bound Forest who could teach him.
The woodsmen give Ulf a strange look but agree to help him in this pursuit. They can get him in touch with the right people, but it will take 100gp in donations, bribes, and the purchasing of magical accoutrements (including a traditional bogdani woman's dress and a wig, which Ulf assumes will be his new Magician's uniform).
Luckily, after a few lucrative delves into Nightwick Abbey, Ulf has the cash on hand - barely (Nightwick uses the silver standard rather than gold, so 100gp is a decent sum) and gladly pays the woodsmen. They tell him to return next week when the arrangements are complete.
