• We need to go to some library to get rid of the monsters for some researcher to come in?
• On the way to the library, we go through a swamp
• We run into some lizard folks who look like they just got done hunting an aligator
• They almost decide to attack Brigid as an alternate dinner, but Elentel convinces them otherwise
• So we move on to the library
• When we get there, it looks like some old building and nobody has been there for a while
• We get the doors open, Brigid gives me a torch, and we go inside
• Then something tries to kill me
