# Marby asks how they can acquire the book mentioned in answer to Jaxson's question: With blood and crushed bone they will find the book.
Afterwards they wait out the portal device's scan of the plane and return to Sigil. It is night, even though they left in the morning and were only gone about three hours. They go to bed.
They go start on their way to the Hive the next day when a Tiefling runs into Jaxson and tries to hand off some kind of stone egg to him. He, being paranoid, drops it on the ground and looks around to see the Mercykillers apparently on their way after this guy. Marby collects the egg and they all get out of the way until the Mercykillers pass. They continue on to the Hive (where the stones run with poverty) the next day and go to a bar called "The Ugly Maid" to see if there is any news that will help them find the book's location. Through various means they uncover that there has been a construction project (or deconstruction) and that there is an elf making an awful lot of noise about what might be going on inside of it.
They find the elf and the construction materials where the rumors said they would, and the elf tells Jaxson that it is actually the entrance to a crypt where his wife, dead for 300 years, lies interred. He warns that there are skeletons of the interred dead wandering the crypt now.
They gather their party to venture forth.
