The party split up, some went to find out how Lucy and Sam were coping, and to find out if there was anything they could do. The remainder of us, Hollis, Uruk-Hai, Saewyntmbus, Gothmog, and Amras, accompanied by Kaylan, went off to find Grimm's Tavern to hunt out the rest of the university staff.
As we wended our way through the town, a sea mist swept in to completely cover the dockside area. We almost lost Uruk-Hai in the mist, he was bitten by a bat, which kept flying around his head. The strange thing was, the bat had a bell round it's neck! We finally managed to find him and made it to the tavern.
Grimm's was a waterside Tavern, not the sort of place I would have expected the Prof. to frequent!
There was a rather swarthy looking gentleman reclining against the bar, who turned out to be a lamplighter by the name of Skaralan. We told him and the tavern keeper of the events which had happened up at the council chambers and the southern part of town and asked if the Professors had turned up for their shindig.
The tavern-keeper told us that the party had not turned up, so we settled down for a while to see if they appeared.
There were two, rather inviting, roaring fireplaces in the tavern, but as I got closer, I noticed that the flames never touched the wood. What strange sort of magic was at work here? I felt drawn to the fire, as if it were calling me. I shrugged off the feeling and wandered back over to the bar to talk to Skaralan.
The University staff didn't appear and some of the party were tired of waiting around so everyone except Hollis departed for their beds. We agreed to meet up at the North Barracks at sunset.
Once the sea mist lifted it was obviously past sundown so I set off at once to the barracks and met up with the remainder of the party.
Grishnakh was safely in a cell, and we agreed to leave him there for the time being, or until he returned to normal.
