Chapter 1, Verse 3 - I Imagine You're Going to Do Something With That Bag of Fish

Anisette, Mona and Sabux travel to The 9 Hells with Samantha. Sabux meets Iron, the bartender who runs The 9 Hells, and learns that his Grandfather was a traveler once with Iron and his sister. Sabux plans to meet with Iron the next day to discuss his grandfather further. Mona introduces herself to Darib al Hinta, the first elf she has seen in a hundred years in Melach. Sabux realizes that he has left his fish at The Crow’s Nest. Pandoo starts to drunkenly yell about Gisgo ruining the Warrens. Iron warns him to calm down, but as he yells louder and louder a Dretch tears open the back of a passed out patron in the back corner. The dretch kills the one patron and kills a woman sitting nearest to him. Our heroes defeat the dretch. Mona begins to question where Sabux’s power comes from, confronting him and his connection to the demonic presence he summons during battle. City Guards break in to The 9 Hells and begin to question our heroes about their involvement in the altercation. The City Guards tell our heroes about another demon attack that happened in the Grand Bazaar. The Captain of the guard pulls Mona to the side to speak with her, but Anisette and Sabux over hear. He tells of a third attack that occurred at another bar in the city that ended the lives of an elf and two hobbits. Anisette interrupts to ask about the first attack and convinces the City Guard, with the help of Mona, to bring Anisette into the fold. The City Guard tells our heroes the location of the first attack was a leather shop in the Bazaar and forces the heroes to keep quiet about the knowledge they have gleaned from this interaction with the city guards. The heroes travel back to the Crow’s Nest to try to find Eldon and that pesky bag of fish. On the walk, Anisette learns a little bit about how the transformation of Sabux has begun. But after growing a little uncomfortable, Sabux clams up and begins to try to lie. He admits, he doesn’t understand the power that controls him. The heroes purchase a copy of Magda’s Seen, a local magazine and move on to end the episode walking to The Crow’s Nest.
