THIS TIME, THEY WOULD MAKE A KILLING
Join master thief Nifft the Lean with his companion-at-arms, mighty barbarian Barnar Hammer-Hand, as they trust to their wits and their luck. Once Nifft and Barnar were hired by the ghost of a dead woman to kidnap the man who betrayed her and drag him down to hell to join her. A simple task — or so they thought at first….
Another time, the pair lucked into an even more lucrative proposition, when they were shipwrecked on the way to work in Costard’s sap mine — very dangerous and sometimes nauseating work far below ground and were hired by Bunt to bring back twenty gills of the ichor exuded only by the monstrous insectile queen. It seemed like easy money — they wouldn’t have to go to hell Of course, the best laid plans sometimes do go astray, but this time they were sure they would…make a killing.
