The party spend some time exploring and getting to know the environs of the hall. Tryn chats with Vadriar the Sage who explains that the most senior official in the hall is Ordinator Arcanis.

Ash approaches Orontor, a senior human figure around 30 years of age and of a sour disposition, asking if there are any employment opportunities. Orontor is impessed when Ash regales him with the tale of the rescue of Rendell and he promises to meet the party at a later date to discuss a possible job.

Later, Rendell tells the party that, to find the Chamber of Eyes, they should leave via the Dragon Door and follow the Prospector's route and turn left after the fire-staring eyes - a big door with an eye on it.
