Archie looks at the others briefly, but replies before they can. "I do believe we are quite capable of staying here with you. The more we can investigate into your issue the easier it will be to help you."
Archie looks around the house before hi finds a seat next to the fireplace. He pulls a cigar out of his jacket pocket and lights it as he relaxes in front of the fire.

Alfredo takes a good look around the home. Its a nice British home, he could tell that pierce was well to do but not too well to do. He noticed a general feeling of unease in the abode. He says," Zank you for your hospital fine sir." "We vill try to do our best to help you". Alfredo notices a rose in a vase in the corner of the room. In a dark and relatively colorless room the red stood out like a sore thumb. Neither manservant hecubus nor Peirce seemed like horticulturists. Interesting he thought to himself.

Attempting to adjust to this more populace room. Charles tries to position himself in the sitting room so as not to feel so boxed in, the living quarters are well kept and probably would be a smashing spot for tea and all, if it wasn't for the fact it was now filled near to the brim with people, awaiting with trepidation the coming night. taking his leave Charles makes his way, to the den just down the corridor. In a room where most of the furniture is covered in sheets. an antique grandfather clock stands in all of its gilded glory. the fashionable crystal timing and moving lunar pattern were intriguing. "Archie might want to see this." Charles muses to himself. a movement catches. his eye.
"Ahh yes I thought someone might be here." Making eye contact with the spirit. the small boy shimmering in the moonlight next to the window. Dressed as a bell hop. He held out his hand in expectation. Charles digs out two pound sterling from his pocket, along with his watch and hands it to the boy. The innocent face lights with a smile. as he fades into the night. "Such a small thing to make a boy happy." he could see it all, his great uncle had had the boy hung for thievery when his watch went missing the boy wasn't even to blame but you never argued with English colonial lords. Charlse's melancholy deep sigh echoed in the room.
He turned from the room and headed back to the sitting area. exquisite grandfather clock you have Mr. Pierce. Archie I think you would be interested in seeing it. Might I ask mister Pierce can we see the place where your wife has appeared before?

"It is of no consequence my good sir just sorting out a family matter. Thank you for your hospitality I hope we can solve this delicate problem for you. If I may be so bold as to add. How was you wife's temperance toward the good book? it seems to me that this new custom of having an un-betrothed lady stay in your domicile is quite contrary to etiquette and precedence. Maybe she doesn't want you damning your immortal soul with temptation, And is chasing with a chastening so to speak? Do you mind if I smoke Sir?

Archie places his cigar on one of the crystal ash trays and gets up from the chair to see this clock. "Maybe there is something more to this clock."

Justin gets up and follows Archie, cigar still in his mouth and asks "Any idea of the prior owner, Mr. Pierce? Wonderin' if the other owner experienced anything like this. Also, how long after getting this did your wife pass? Apologies for bringing up sensy stuff, Mr. Pierce."

//The clock will require some sort of investigation, technology, or occult roll, or whatever you're looking for in it

Alfredo surveys the room carefully. Then surveys the ground carefully. You never know when a loose floorboard can get you. He remarks, "meine Freundes is zit a wee bit chilly in this room or is zit just me?"

//There is one bed, and a few chairs and one sofa that you could pull the sheets off. I'd say you should call sleeping arrangements and set up a watch. -Friendly Neighborhood DM

Archie examines the clock as close as he can without disturbing the internals.
After a bit he looks back at one of the chairs. It looks to be quite comfortable. "I shall take that chair. Baxter and I can take the first watch."

Alfredo says, "Your a quality young man Sir Archie, I volunteer to take the last watch possible, and old man needs his rest and shalt be refreshed by zen!"

Charles looks around the den and finds the reading nook next to the window. "ah this will do nicely." stretching out he looks at Archie "I will take the mid watch Archie wake me when your ready."
