Tombs of Scoria: Episode 43

__NOTOC__
== Synopsis ==
The brothers, recovering in GNoME after their failed attempt on Abraxia, are interrupted by a gnome requesting to see their leader, despite having been previously told that gnomes have no leader. Tyrael agrees to go with the gnome, who turns out to be in league with the dragon and was tasked with capturing their leader. Tyrael exposes this betrayal and brings the gnome back to camp, where they face a surprise attack from trolls. In the ensuing battle, the brothers use various spells and tactics to fend off the trolls and the dragon, which is later revealed to be attacking from above. They manage to escape back to the city, where they are initially barred entry but eventually gain access through a combination of intimidation and magic. The next day, they stay in the tavern and gather information, with Imrik searching for a powerful scroll and Anton receiving a crate of modified dragon armor from an Elven ambassador. They return home to Wikkthronrarenta to prepare for their next moves, with Imrik's attempts to learn a new spell proving unsuccessful.
