+* The gargoyle snaps at Brumrik and misses.

+* Suddenly, another gargoyle appears behind Balricstein, striking Balric! It’s scary.

+* Balricstein blasts em, using his new rod for more effective blasts.

+* Billy fucks up and slaughters one gargoyle, leaving one.
+* Balricstein BLASTS em. It’s super effective.
+* Brumrik runs back the other way and hides behind Uligul.

+* Billy bets Uligul he can’t read the runes.
+* Ulligul reads the runes.
+* Billy jumps over the groove....and nothing happens. They go into town. The design seems similar to Big Town, but there are no skeletons. There are, however, cloaks and clothes laying around.
+* Brumrik scavenges through the piles of armor and asks Uligul to identify magical properties. He finds 10 arrows that may have such properties, but not known for now.
+* Billy investigates whether the city folk enslaved the Small Town folk. To his knowledge, they did not.
+* They decide to sleep in one of these homes. Brumrik takes first watch and sees a ship sailing through the clouds on the north end of the island. Billy takes second watch and sees nothing. Balricstein takes 3rd watch and gets distracted by the architecture.
+* As they wake, a mist hangs over the city. The day is theirs, and the book still evades them.👏👏👏👏👏👏
