Regin does battle in the fighting pits, while Malachi and Fin look on in…horror? Pride? Embarrassment? Who can say. Then, it’s time for some difficult conversations. Regin gets a new toy, Fin works the crowd, and Malachi meets an old friend.

The Kuo-Toa leader makes our heroes an offer that is actually fairly easy to refuse. It’s an all-out boardroom brawl, and the prize is exclusive usage rights for the cube. Malachi miscalculates, Fin makes an investment, and Regin punches a tree.
