[QUOTE="Silver Moon, post: 2839029, member: 8530"] [B]Chapter Twenty, “Against the Mage’s Team”, August 7th, 1018, 5:00 P.M.[/B] They reach the area of Phormosah’s house, and decide to first deal with the goblins that they had spotted on the roofs that morning. They split into two groups, with Fiona, Freyland, Lannon and Timothy going to the building on the southwest corner and Mojo, Narg, Serita and Razou going to the one on the northeast corner.
