When the frustrated mutterings on the other side didn’t acknowledge him, he entered the house. The room was cluttered with books, runes, and random artifacts piled against the walls. The table was covered with dirty dishes and highly toxic reagents. A disheveled mage in blue robes stood at the center of a pentagram. Gilforn didn’t seem to notice him, so Heigel waved at the other mage. Gilforn smiled at him […]
