As everyone heads towards the stairs Alfredo stays back slyly heading towards where the apparition disappeared. Bending down he sees the residue left over. Alfredo rolls to investigate the residue:
6D: 6+2+6+5+2+4 = 25

Justin was truly grateful for the professor's generosity, and glanced around more at the wonders of tables and gadgets around the room. He noticed on one of the tables an odd amount of white dust and bowls of rocks/dust.

It's salt, Justin. High quality, pure salt. Maybe that's used for something ghost-related too, since it's in the basement with everything else. Also Justin gets a Hero Point for striking a pose and calling punching a ghost "anointing"... It tickled me greatly. Alfredo has discovered ectoplasm in the basement! Spiffing!

Upon realizing the crystals and dust as salt, Justin once again recalls some of the penny dreadfuls heed sold/read back home as a newsie.Ghosts DID NOT like salt.
"This could be useful", he says as he pours some into his leather dice bag.
Justin then goes back upstairs. "You coming Alfredo? "

As Justin heads up the stairs, Alfredo swipes his finger through the ectoplasm. He thinks to himself it tastes like chicken! He grabs a vial and cork scoops the rest up. He thinks to himself, you never know when u might need this! He scrambles up the stairs slipping and falling into Justin. He says, "Sorry good sir, zees stairs are might slippery!" He takes a seat and reads the letter with the other fine gentlemen.

"A jealous lover huh? I've had my fair share of those, and as they say, hell has no fury like a woman scorned. I feel a kinship to sly, I'm up to help a goodman out. "

There was an occasion much like this with my old safari guide. his name was Percival. His dear wife died and after some mourning he was ready to give the old marriage shuffle a try again. We were sitting in his den, all covered in trophies and what-not. of course Percy had just a might more than he should have, and he stands up abruptly and he exclaims to the portrait of his dear wife. I've met the right one Janey she is top shelf, a good woman just as you were. I don't want to go through with it not without your blessing, just give me a sign.
Just then the pictures start spinning, the wildebeest head on the wall starts moaning NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! over the noise you could hear Percy "Any sign Janey any sign will do..." dishes were breaking and chairs were flying around the room. of course I was cringing in the corner. "just a sign anything will do.." suddenly everything crashes to the floor. Percy still standing there in the middle of the room debris from the cacophony strewn about. " well" says he," I guess that means you are ok with it. I knew you would be love you honey."
"Shortly after his marriage the bounder shot him and took his fortune. Dear ole percy good queens man that one... Oh sorry got a bit off track, should we just go and show up or do you introduce us, must say I'm not quite up on the etiquette of the situation professor.

Archie watches the Professor as Baxter reaches out a finger and pokes the one the Professor is poking at him. "Yes it is, he was the first of my creations."
As the letter gets to Archie he reads it over. "We will accept this task." He says answering for both himself and Baxter.

Alfredo reads the letter and looks up at his new compatriots and says, "Dear freundes you must help this poor gentleman post haste. I will lead from the back all the way! I recommended Justin be in the front for he is big and burly."

Having accepted the assignment, you take a carriage to Mr. Pierce's house after you finish with small-talk and sandwiches. By now it is late afternoon. Hestable, a tall, worn-looking and thin man, comes to the door and looks at you, regarding the gentlemen with ease, but the two with brass knuckles and the golem with some caution. "I'm sorry," he says levelly, "but can I help you ... gentlemen?"

"Ah very good. Yes we are here to see Mr. Pierce. It has to do with his correspondence to Prof. Farnsley, We have come to assist him with a delicate family matter. If you wouldn't mind seeing us to him my good man I am sure he was expecting a visit."

Archie reaches out to shake Hesable's hand. "Hello, good chap. I am Archibald Williamson, one of the liaisons from Professor Farnsley."
"As my companion said, we are looking for Mr. Pierce regarding a situation he wanted the Professor to look into."

Throughout lunch, Justin realized he had a bit of a language barrier with his new comrades, and could only imagine how complicated things could get in a scrum. Fortunately, he'd brought along his "Book of Local Colloquialism of Her Majesty's Isles" and was able to browse through it on the way to Mr. Pierce's home.
He greets the doorman with a warm smile and extends his hand: "Pip pip cheerio old chap! Name's Justin Credible, and as me me mates already said, we here to help your master with his lady partner troubles." (wink wink)
