Willbury knocks on the very sturdy-looking front door of the Cheese Hall. The dude who answers it won't let him in, so Willbury goes to the Nag's Head Inn where everyone else is waiting.
Storming the gates doesn't seem practical, so they decide to rent a room in the inn and continue to watch the Cheese Hall; the crows will pass messages between the inn and the ship.
Arthur volunteers to take first watch with Tom and Kipper, while everyone else goes back to the ship to check on the mini critters and try to plan.
