*The staff in the stables are fairly taciturn at first when Vanitri just tries to listen in, but when he actually tries talking to them, they are willing to talk and are surprised to discover a student who shares any common ground with them, as they are used to being ignored. Apparently, five staff members have gone missing. Sican, a janitor, Baalsh, a groundskeeper, Nalki, a gardener, Vaaran, a night watchman, and Brormar, also a janitor. They went missing one by one, and it's making the staff nervous.*
