IT CONTINUES

Two more plush gryphons before the gryphons assist you.

Helga can teach the Diamond dogs how to use their fingers to gain their favour.

With water solidifying the rubber-ish ring, Delia now has something she can use to get around her horn ring. It won't be as effective as removing the ring, but it will do. May want to be careful about where you cast, or who sees it…

And it looks like Rickety Crimes has found a strange key, near the Chaplaincy and Recreation rooms to the south of the building.
