You and your party, after travelling northward from the Main Hall, find room and board at an isolated woodsland inn. You rent your rooms for a night, and then eat a hearty breakfast the next day. On the way out, you happen to overhear the innkeeper in deep conversation with a local:

'Yea, Kilroi must need that book pretty dam' bad, else he wouldn't offer a reward like that! Why dayathink he's doin' it??'

'Well, Yui, really can't be sure with that wizard... I think he's finally flipped his lid. Ain't nobody gonna be stupid enough to wander into those grounds at night nohow.'

And so the conversation goes on... Finally, after the innkeeper's friend has gone, you wave the large man down and ask him about it.

'Well, you'd do best to hear it from the horse's mouth.' He says, eyeing you with interest. 'Go north and eastward for a ways, and then you'll come across a crosspath that leads deep into the woods. Follow that path, and you'll come to the 'estate' of Kilroi the wizard. Ask him, and I'm sure he'll be glad to tell you all 'bout it.
