The Fire Brigade - Weepee Herman, Deilis Liadon, Sir Philip Shieldbiter and Pie-Ella, were resting at an inn, putting their feet up and reminiscing over the previous adventure. Suddenly the door burst open, letting in a gust of cold wind and rain. A weary traveler stood on the threshold, a heavy cloak wrapped tightly around his body.
