Fondue, Beur, and Boneweevil reach the town of Freshport in search of Dunnan, the protector of the second Rune Stone; They meet a talented young bard who helps Fondue acknowledge a hidden side of himself.
Full Synopsis Exiting the Stonesaw Mines, Fondue, Boneweevil, and Beor soon find themselves in Freshport, where they are welcomed by an eager hellspawn bard named Tech Powers (Steve Agee). Tech sneaks the party inside the Union House after being denied entrance by a guard. The party tracks down Dunnan in the study where he discloses that he has traded the second runestone to the cultists for the safety of his own family. He also reveals that the necklace around Beor’s neck is the third runestone, which he tries to take by force, with the help of summoned monsters. Tech also turns on the group, after being offered a job in the dockworker’s union. During the battle the study catches fire and the monsters and Dunnan are slaughtered. Tech, feeling guilty after betraying the trio, leads them to a window overlooking the Durnam Sea harbor. Fondue and Tech kiss before Tech leaves to distract the guards, giving the party time to escape into the cargo hold of a passing trading vessel.
