Our heroes find themselves once again atop the bramble wall, this time looking outward over a fierce battle between soldiers of the Hark army and numerous barbarians & druids led by the Gnome on Pantherback aka The Undercarriage of the Future aka The Scourge of the Tall Folk aka Rides with Bear Mounts... Familiar faces appear, and a desperate scenario forces Jonas, and his compatriots, into the middle of the fray.
