Brimstone's brother offers a big reward for the retrieval of a Weeper from a crashed wagon. Cue a free-for-all as the different hunter houses vie for the prize -- many of them focused on taking Team Xibalba out because of a secret, extra reward for doing so.

Brimstone and his posse are a bit eye-rollingly testosterone-driven at times, with Brim mocking one enemy by referring to the man's dragon as his ugly wife that lets anyone ride her, and Dawg hitting on the sexy demon trying to kill him -- and yet, I can't deny they're amusing! I'm interested in learning more about Fire House, the one group that seems more intent on the mission than taking out Xibalba. I'm intrigued by how different Hostile is, now that he's back to being Mr. Farquis, right-hand man to Brimstone's brother / rival. And I'm looking forward to more revelations by and about by the new player, Brimstone's father.
