Gustave and Highbough make themselves known up in the main library while, downstairs, Wen cautiously pokes around in the burnt out refuse heap.
Highbough briefly hears something that might be an Owl hooting... but in a library? Perhaps he is hearing things now?
Meanwhile, nothing stirs in the nest, so Wen proceeds to investigate... it is a gruesome chore indeed. There must be at least a score of bodies dumped here -- it's impossible to tell in their burned and broken state. The Grell could have been gnawing upon their bones for weeks or more. It is a horrid sight.
Still, ever the treasure hunter, the young Elf does not fail to note the glimmer of silver here and there. Whatever possessions these unfortunates carried came with them to their graves; here there is a silver Enigma, there a beautiful letter opener, there again is a plain copper ring upon a gnarly finger. What more might remain hidden in the awful pile is anyone's guess.
