Lâinus Telvus Thelarius and his companions, at the behest of Iahanus Telvus Thelarius Sodin, travel to the village of Taccege. There, they engage in a pitched battle when members of the Mist come to the village to conscript workers. Afterwards, the party travels south of the village to the compound called "The Factory" where the hallucinogen called Dragondust is fabricated. Their scouting mission goes awry and the party is forced to flee back to Taccege, which they find abandoned. In the village, they face off against a Khamvir and some Mist operatives, whom they drive away.
