Neville leads Kain, Render, and VS as they accept a job from the mysterious half-orc bard Karash to break in and steal a book from a group of Blue Bear Uthgardt suspected of trafficking in people. They case the joint, make a new friend (Dmitry) and a couple new enemies (Dunja the Fence and the Stiletto Set kenku gang), and discover that there's more to the situation that Karash told them. With the help of Karash's colleague Fiona, they break in and find their way down into the under-levels, where they encounter poisonous smoke, avoid guards, and find the prison of the former Uthgardt leader Radovan the Mighty, now a monstrously-transformed yuan-ti. They magically infiltrate his cell, assassinate him, then leave Fiona in his place and escape via Portable Hole with the corpse. In exchange, Karash cedes the deed to the butcher shop known as Pristine Pork to Neville, along with some startup cash.
