What do you think (if you have adventure or better yet have run it), of having Schulmann part of the meeting with Adler about dream etc. in this chapter.

Instead of lurking about to tag them as they leave, he's there giving his advice about necromancer and sharing his vision (with a window onto square where statue is) - having left the inn early (before summons to PCs) because of his vision. If PC's don't recognize Olaus S. as subject Kessler does. This reinforces why the PC's are sent, as Kessler tells Schulmann that under no circumstances will he talk to anyone about visions of the town's hero risen as an undead champion, "The idea of their hero come back that way would knock what fighting spirit these folk have out of them!"

So this emphasizes why "outsiders" are sent, both to fetch Father Grabbe (if Schulmann is asked to explain dream he sighs and explains that dreams and visions are completely different things, too complicated to explain to a layman) and to ensure the hero is still in his grave - and keep quiet about any "bad for morale" activities around that subject. Schulmann of course cannot come with them, "his visions" have drained him and besides, "I am no Bright Order flamepot to incinerate undead, no, I'm not much use to you."

His agenda is to have the threat neutralized (he can't get what he wants if an undead horde is running around) and he is sure of course that another piece of stone is involved.
