"There are places much more organised than the IAC, but I'm glad to go there first. There's more chance of something or someone being there still, anyway," says Lilli.
"Some of the city temples may yield clues too and I wonder if anything may be found where I used to lodge in Cobblestop, but I think we have some good starting points," says Lilli.
"Well, speaking as a member of The Institute for Arcane Ciphers organisation, yes we should visit. Maybe the Igors have stayed around," nods Lilli in agreement, "and the Great Library would be worth visiting and of deep interest to me as non-native Dauntonian, but I'm concerned about the traps...
