The Lodge are accosted by members of 'The Black Dragon' while waiting at the docks for their ship, which has been delayed. They soon see them off.
==Monday 26th November - Friday 30th November, 1894==
The Lodge group arrive in Berlin and begin to search for Lindenbocker. A lack of knowledge of the German Language proves to be somewhat of a barrier so they contact the Berlin Lodge to arrange for a translator. Once this is done it is a relatively easy task to find and interview Lindenbocker. He is quite happy to give them directions to the route he took to the 'hollow earth', and reccomends that any expedition wishing to follow in his footsteps should take electric lights and LOTS of rope.
Having completed their tasks in Berlin, it is decided that the next stop should be castle Frankenstein, in order to search for any other clues that might remain there, and to see if the rumour of Paracelcus' cure for Lycanthropy really does exist.
