After getting out of the world-hopping business, a bloody season fighting the Elves out east was just what the Chain had ordered. Guerilla warfare in the ancient forests wasn't exactly a soft job though, even for the last of the Helltroopers, and the mercenary rank and file were ready for a bit of rest in the seedier neighbourhoods of Blackbottom. A week of gambling dens and brothels would likely find most of them getting antsy enough to willingly march wherever the next Contract would take them. They didn't get a week before the next round of bloodshed. They didn't even get to sleep in. ~~~ This is a Fanfiction novella about the Chain of Acheron, based on the setting created by Matt Colville and the story of MCDM's Chain of Acheron twitch-streamed D&D game. It is an imagining of the events of Blackbottom parallel in time to the first two sessions of their campaign, and focuses on original characters and the actions of the rank and file members of the last of the Helltroopers.
