* The rest of the party headed to the Gnomonics Institute, where they were supposed to meet with Dr. Frackenstein. However, when Ovis took off for her lunch break they saw an opportunity for nosing around. They found: stairs, doors, a room full of equipment (Bertha and Matlock?), a room with an acrid acid pool and a complicated magic-seeming seal on the floor, plus the ever-irresistible Closed Box. They hauled the Box out of the room and upstairs, where they were met by Dr. F. and Ovis. Ovis was charmed/confused enough to let the party's petty larceny slide, but Dr. F. was having none of it, and conjured a couple of large cats to deal with the party before going back to her office. She also spell-terrified Beffa and Oika into running as far away from her as they could get (back downstairs), while Eunice common-sensed her way out of the escalating situation (and the building). | * The rest of the party headed to the Gnomonics Institute, where they were supposed to meet with Dr. Frackenstein.

* In the Gnomonics Basement, Beffa and Oika (terrified) hid in a closet. Awnzo and Big Mama Felto decided against a bard/illusionist v. tiger showdown, and also fled downstairs, leaving a big ball of fire to stop any pursuers. Reunited with Beffa and Oika (still terrified), they found a closet full of probably explosives, and then another closet full of obvious goodies, which was a (maybe also obvious, in hindsight) Trap. Beffa boldly tried to get a cool sword and then fell through an illusory floor onto non-illusory spikes, sustaining a lot of damage, even for a Beffa. Her companions threw a rope down and Beffa paladin-ed her way back up, grabbing the sword on the way. It was short. Big Mama discovered a sudden knack for climbing and braved the floorless room several times to obtain a flask, a bottle, and a jug, in that order. Then Awnzo conjured an illusory Dr. Frackenstein for some extreme exposure therapy, and successfully scared Beffa and Oika back upstairs. | * In the Gnomonics Basement, Beffa and Oika (terrified) hid in a closet.
