Ok, so Bosk is going to Wayside while everyone else is going to the university.

A long-time resident of Fairhaven, Eegen quickly leads the party through the western part of the city towards the Knowledge Ward. They skirt the rough-and-tumble neighborhoods of Rordan's Gate but don't stray too far into the wealthy Nealford neighborhoods where they would not likely be welcome. Coming from Sharn a mere hour ago, it is somewhat disconcerting to have nothing above one's head but sky and the scholarly group can't help but feel that Fairhaven is smaller and less impressive than the City of Towers. In reality, though, it is large and modern with impressive wealth, safe streets, and the magnificent towers of Fairhold to the group's left as they procede towards the university. Fairhaven's streets may be more open but they are much more friendly than Sharn's.

For outsiders, there is no clear indication where the borders of the Knowledge Ward might be but   it becomes very clear once they are there. The normal bustle of city life falls away to cafes of refined and knowledgeable people, streetside conversations of philosophy and politics, and shops selling artistic and exotic goods the average person would not look twice at. Rounding a corner, the group comes face-to-face with the large alabaster gates of the University of Wynarn, the ancient place of learning founded by King Galifar I's own children.

The campus is at once more empty and more bewildering than the streets, but Eegen knows the way well. He leads his friends into the Archeological Studies building and up a flight of stairs to the workroom and library of Professor Ash'tek, his colleague, friend, and sometimes drinking-buddy.

The good professor is not to be seen, however, as the four adventurers* enter the rooms, but a young man sits at the desk instead with books strewn about and dark circles under his eyes. He looks up as the door opens and his weary face lights up with excitement. "Eegen!" Garrin Jysfear says as he gets up to shake the gnome's hand vigorously. "I had no idea you were returning so soon! The professor will be so upset he missed you! Have you come back for the expedition?" Ash'tek's research assistant is good natured and bubbly as always, but obviously exhausted and Eegen suspects that for once the forgotten plates and glasses around the office are his and not the half-orc professor's.

*Minus Bosk Shakaal, of course. 

At Garrin's revelation, Eberk is less than subtle at his feelings about missing the scholar and explodes.

"This morning, you say? It is as if these researchers just know when they are wanted, then they run and hide!"

Once again visibly trying to calm himself, Eberk begins thinking about the next course of events, reflecting on what the assistant just said before regaining composure and continuing.

"Sending findings, eh? That means you should know where they were settin' up camp, right? Might be able to take the rails and get to them before they get too far out. Dunno if Vul wants two teleports in one day. Passage should be pretty cheap for that short distance and ... wait," the dwarf suddenly finds himself stuck on one point.

"What artifacts?"

Where'd everybody go?
