Gnomes, and Halflings, and Assassins! Oh My!

Tales from a Second-Hand Wand Shoppe (Book 2): Gnomes, and Halflings, and Assassins! Oh My!

Aution lay in ruins. Charred, smoldering ruins. The Gnomes, Rat, and Nulu make their way out 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.

The gang decides that a new town is in order, and it will be built around Julie's school. Julesville is founded and everything seems to be moving along smoothly. Until a certain newly-unemployed werewolf, and a newly-put-out-of-business Haberdashery owner show up. With Akita and Pozzuoli in town, things aren't looking good for Grimbledung. Fortunately for him, the impending Halfling invasion gets everyone's attention. Mostly.

Bent on revenge against Grimbledung for cheating them out of the fun of razing Aution, a group of Halflings arrive in Julesville and declare Martial Law. Meanwhile, the Army of the Lord High Priest of Halflings masses on the other side of the Anti-Ogre Wall. Prost Garrison and Frank's Keep prepare for the inevitable attack that they fully expect will wipe them out.

Working together, thanks to Grimbledung, the gang tricks the Halflings into leaving Julesville (intact even), repels the Halfling invasion, and restores peace to the lands. Well, not really those last two...
