[FAQ] Lost/Stuck after Dirk burns the books?

[KFCrispy]

I've seen a lot of people saying they don't know what to do, so...

After Dirk burns your books, your party will run out of the castle and you are supposed to look for him. Head west/north towards Grayridge and encounter Dirk and his new companions. Afterward the scene, you should get a message to head to the Meeting Hall back at HQ.

I think it's pretty straightforward. When you're chasing him you can't return to HQ, can't leave toward the valley and the last route to follow is northeast toward Grayridge. As for the meeting hall, should be good to note (for the ones who forgot by then) that it's the door to the far left on the second level of the HQ.
