## Synopsis

Hours after Toma's confrontation with the Red Berry Boys at nightfall, Toma and Elka have reconvened back in town. Elka explains that Quigley is an Aldish traitor who fled his homeland in a unique and powerful construct illegally built by his murdered wife. Toma ruminates on the intentions of the Red Berry Boys and the likely destination of their dangerous cargo.

Elsewhere, Sette has located the guard meant to help her into Cresce. With a mute, unconscious Duane at her side, she's escorted under the river and into the strange Crescian city of Ethelmik. Leaving Duane in a bed at a love hotel, she takes to the streets in search of her cousin's hideout.

After crossing the river and scaling the cliffs beneath one of Ethelmik's massive waterfalls, the Red Berry Boys arrive at a riverside warehouse. Starfish leaves to inform their client of their arrival, leaving Ephsephin alone with their cart full of cargo. This cargo consists of a dozen kidnapped adults and children, each of them comatose after having had many of their organs removed and replaced with a substance called First Silver. The only slave to be left unharmed is a young Crescian boy named Jivi, who has been acting as the slavers' unwilling servant. Having awaited his chance, Jivi slips mechanized rat traps into Ephsephin's booze. They detonate, and Jivi escapes from the cart. Before he can make it out of the warehouse, however, he's set upon by another of the slavers, a diminutive lizardman with cutting claws. Jivi overcomes him just in time to hide as Starfish returns.

Starfish reacts with horror to the sight of his battered lackies. Finding Ephsephin still feebly alive, Starfish angrily finishes him off, then lambastes Quigley as the Plat returns from outside. New arrivals follow him, a pair of ladies calling themselves Frummagems. Starfish reveals they are replacements for the unreliable Quigley, and they set upon the Plat with deadly intent. With Starfish's assistance, they defeat him, but Quigley's life is saved in the nick of time by Jivi's dramatic arrival, as he thunders into the warehouse atop Uaid, who and carries the Quigleys to the river. Having been observing the fracas from the ceiling beams, Sette interferes when one of the Frummagem ladies makes a target of Jivi, and receives a tranquilizing saw blade through her arm for her troubles. Sette disappears into the street, with one of the Red Berry Boys in hot pursuit.

Sette leads him back to the love hotel, beating him to her room in time to unlock Duane. The zombie is alert and eager when the slaver arrives.
