Can't talk to Godfried about red ink. Before that could not click on stain at end of rope in stable. Are these connected somehow?

Yes - you have to click on the end of the rope with the red ink to get the dialogue. Be sure that you are at close up of the censer to do so.

Thanks for the quick reponse. I clicked the rope & talked to Godfried. Thank you

Wonderful. Enjoy the game.
