    • Arry stays with large weapons at coat check + watches for cops
    • Fender asks front desk to direct toward hobgoblin info
      • books mostly treat goblins as animals
      • cross-reference goblins in war & conquering
      • No info an ancient goblin society - dead end
    • Librarian knows best books on Shala Macur: “really interesting stories”
    • Question if Shala Macur are imperial secret service
      • 3 books in library
        • founded in by sister: (Shala) is brother (Macur)
        • been around as long as the empire
        • Only high elves involved, cloaks are a signature
        • Don’t publish or take credit, never confirm or deny
        • All books end mid sentence

    • Fender dancing lights to calm Mr. Gill
    • Arry told to teake care of it & takes weapons in
