His bag is broken, he can't catch a break at the local market, and just when things are looking up, he's kidnapped by a couple of Blood Cultists and taken to the underground city that serves as their base, where he'll make a tasty human sacrifice for an unspeakably horrible monster. Thrown into a dungeon, he has no idea how to escape -- or if anyone will care if he does. But his new cellmates, Iana and Crina are ecstatic about Dig's appearance.
