I have to say, this makes me nervous too, after the rep tomes fiasco, and I managed to spend down on that.
It's probably just a case of Cordovan being absent, hopefully, but, it doesn't harm to take some precautions I guess. Skirm camp visit to spend down a bit this morning. Anything valuable will do, rep items, removal scrolls etc.
Can't do much about deeds in the timeframe though, other than maybe get them started.
Sometimes, no matter how hard you look, there is no best light.
