    10. The Lesson Plan (aka The Tome)

    It has come to the attention of the management of the Rivercliffe Museum of Mostly Natural Histories that MOST of the staff knows absolutely NOTHING about basic world history. You can see the problem, surely. As such, we hope you will join the curator, Marwood, for a comprehensive and 100% mandatory refresher on everything important that has ever happened, magical or otherwise, since the dawn of time. Oh, and you may want to bring a pen and paper. There's always a test...

    9. Fired Up (aka The Afterburner)

    Rivercliffe has been hit by a sub-zero cold snap, but you'd hardly notice in the museum. Staff tempers are flaring up and arguments are growing so heated that it's no wonder when Nick actually takes Abraxas's bait and agrees to fix the furnace. All he has to do is navigate the labyrinth of sub-basements...and figure out exactly why their mysterious furnace is on the fritz in the first place.
