Two delvers set off into the depths of the Heart on orders from their handlers in the City Above. One, a Gnoll Hound, is forced to be there by the moonsilver collar he wears. The other, a Drow Witch, struggles with her past and is inexplicably drawn to the City Beneath. When they are tapped to escort a skittish academic to a deep Vermissian station, they find themselves embroiled in a plot to harness the suffering of a trapped creature to create a bomb, caught between their obligations and the Heart’s desire to set the creature free.

As the trio of unlucky travelers explores their surroundings, they begin to worry that their stay will be prolonged indefinitely. Can they find a way back to reality before the maze strips them of their sanity? Listen to find out!
