We search through the secret room and find...

We check out the "boring" south. Seems like poor Jimmy has gone through quite a few impulsive adventurers.

"You really think Basic Dungeon Survival ought to be a required class at Wentworth, not an elective."

Oh boy, we're about to take on the creepy metal grille...

We find another ex-adventurer and rifle through his pockets. (We got amazingly high marks in Looting.)

We should start a therapy fund for Jimmy.
