Exploring the studio after barricading the door, the group discovers and speculates on various things they find:

Dr. Pike discovers a piece of Eeee wing leather, and figures that it belongs to her great-great uncle Orifice Halberd, who vanished 143 years ago.

Olivia thinks that the box with a lens in one side (but no viewfinder or obvious external controls) is some sort of camera for making images on the glass slides they found in the wine cellar. Pike agrees to try and develop any photo that may be inside, in the hope that it will shed more light on what happened in the room.

Zahn extracts the skeletal monster-arm from its shackles, and examines the strange metallic coating on its claws. Pike suggests the coating is a lost Expedition technology knows as 'metallic glass' that can now only be produced at great expense by high-level Metal Mages.

Pike informs the others that Orifice supposedly was able to create homunculi – golems powered by wild spirits – without the side-effects that made them so difficult to work with otherwise. When Zahn asks the Eeee to listen at the doorway, she hears shuffling and clinking noises that make the others think of metal-clawed monsters… but it turns out to just be Igor, bringing them some lemonade.

Zahn becomes suspicious when Igor tells them about an elevator he found earlier, and goes to investigate it. Not finding much, the group goes on to examine the remaining rooms along the hallway. The find a locked and booby-trapped room containing a noxious well, a ritual chamber, a room full of tiny cages for homunculi and a washroom.
