Aution lay in ruins. Charred, smoldering ruins. The Gnomes, Rat, and Nulu make their way to Big Julie's School of Magic. They're looking for a place to hide out until things cool down. News hasn't spread about Grimbledung being responsible for the town-wide fire and they want to keep it that way.

With Akita and Pozzuoli in town, things aren't looking good for Grimbledung! Fortunately for him, the impending Halfling invasion gets everyone's attention. When a contingent of battle-hardened Halflings arrive in town and declares Martial Law, things look dire. To make matters worse, the Halfling Army masses on the other side of the Anti-Ogre wall.
