Part I
Nott, Beau, Molly, and Caleb wake up to find that Jester, Fjord, and Yasha are gone. After searching for their missing friends, the four are encountered by an armored figure, who later introduces herself as the Drawven Fighter Keg. After the remaining members of the Mighty Nein explain their situation, Keg reveals that the Iron Shepherds, a dangerous group of slavers, were the ones to kidnap their friends. She explains that the slavers were out of Shady Creek Run, and that she is headed there to kill the Shepherds. She makes a deal with the group, that she will lead them to their friends. In return, they must help her kill the shepherds. Without any other choice, the four head out with Keg to find and rescue their missing party members.
