D&D MEETING CHAOS: FIREBALLS FLY, PARTIES UNITE, AND A CAVE RESCUE UNFOLDS

During Thursday's D&D session, two separate groups crossed paths in the woods after a fireball gave away their positions.

Working together, the party fought off a group of goblins and successfully pushed forward in their mission.
