The group gather for the feast. Ruric and Sniv talk about what made him reform his ways and the journey he had been through. It becomes evident that his kobolds fled the mountain ranges when giants began searching for Dinas Affaraon (the city of the gods). Long since abandoned by their cruel overlord (assumed to be Vignaktar) they fled south. Near Sheskin, many of his people fell to madness. Now he and his resentful few followers are here. Sniv seems driven to improve his people's fate. Ruric offers to teach Sniv how to read, as he seems to be trying to learn.
Over the feast the group find out that there have been the occasional Will O the Wisp seen around the mine entrance.
During the feast Priya and the Great Mimi compete for Heskan's affections in a mostly harmless way.
The feast mainly consists of mushrooms, spider meat, bad beer and a spirit distilled from spider venom.

The party chat for a bit before heading to the university.
Inside they find several small amphitheaters and grass kept alive by numerous spells (including light, feeding and water). They head inside the magical studies building and find it very clean. The teaching rooms and offices are all but empty but the party head into the library. The recent surge on the ley line has animated some of the spells and the wild magic in the area surges with power. The group are attacked by the living spells but fend them off with Braith ending most of them.
The group move into a research area that is mostly cleaned out. All that remains is a black sphere of some kind of magic. When they get close it surges towards them, out of it's containment. It runs rampant for a short while before Ruric bends it to his will and places it back into containment.
