The Assassin - The rule of Artemis Entreri, backed by dark elves, is gaining strength in the streets of Calimport, though he warns against caution that the ambition of his dark-skinned supporter is growing.

The influence of the malicious Crystal Shard intensifies, until the drow's deputies who arrived with the mercenary are also under his influence. When Bregan D`aerthe himself turns against him, Jarlaxle will be forced to leave his fate to the man he wants to enslave.
