”Buckle up, kids, we’re playing Neoquest!” Jacques looked up from where he was scrutinising a map of the west Coral Sea with his companions, one eyebrow raised at the boisterous Usul standing in the doorway. For once, the boisterous Usul in question wasn’t Garin – he was standing next to Jacques, with a finger still resting where the map marked the seaport nearest to Faerieland.
