Episode Introduction
Guardians, an unexpected and rather bizarre visitor has arrived at our headquarters under a flag of truce. She is none other than Enimity Pont of the team of assassins who orchestrated the attack on these very premises--and whose partner, Malise Mortagne, you expertly defeated most recently! What’s troubling is that she has asked to meet with you personally to entertain negotiations pertinent to our conflict with the Coven of Zul and its financier, the enigmatic Conductor. Given the diabolic nature of Malise Mortagne, we urge extreme caution in dealing with this… individual. Whatever dark bargain she offers, you can be certain there will be hidden agendas. Those who deal in death and darkness rarely reveal their true purpose until it is too late!

Episode Recap
Following the discovery and defeat of the devilish being known as Malise Mortagne, the Mortal Guardians gained crucial knowledge about their new enemy, the Conductor. With clues in hand, they were ready to pursue further leads--when an unlikely and critically important figure emerged in their midst: none other than Enimity Pont herself, the partner and protégé of Malise! Her fiend identity all but confirmed, Pont offered the Guardians a deal: help her recover an precious gemstone from a devil rival, and she pledged to give the Guardians what they needed most: details about the evasive and enigmatic Conductor including his whereabouts. Setting out with Pont as their guide and facilitator, the Guardians trekked through the desolate wastes of the realm of Dis, the second of the Nine Hellas of Baator! There they infiltrated a ranking devil's seasonal estate and, with some frightful challenges, recovered the stolen gem--which was revealed to contain the soul of Pont's partner, Malise Mortagne! With their bargain fulfilled, the Mortal Guardians survived a confrontation with the lord of the manor, Atruviliel the Baneful, and returned safely to Wintervaeld with vital information on the Conductor's whereabouts!
