Behold the Kobolds!

Season 2: Episode 10

Magic is afoot, Dear Guests!  It’s the BEST kind of magic, too!  What do I mean by best? Well, who wouldn’t like their housework magically done each night, help with their farm, and even their children looked after by durable little fairy folk?  But do beware, as we learn in a vivid way that these helpful beings have an unpredictable side.  Join us in The Midnight Library tonight as we behold the Kobolds!
