Thrayzar began an update on the next paragon mission and his role in it, but was quickly interrupted by a firebombing that became a precursor to an invasion! Landing defenders scrambled to recover from a rough start and slowly reclaimed the town from trolls, ogres, giants, and more, but at the expense of heavy losses among adventurers, heavier losses among townspeople, and a brief abduction of Captain Shinann to unknown ends.
